Very curious about Gondry’s effectiveness in directing this one…
SDCC 2010: Michel Gondry talks “The Green Hornet”
Gondry discusses choreographing fight scenes, saying he doesn’t aim for “lots of effects” but “a lot of effectiveness.” A couple of clips from the movie show the stylized fights, which range from fast- to slow-motion.
Cuts in movies, and their impact on memory
When we watch a movie, we’re usually not conscious of the cuts made by the editor. The camera angle may change dozens of times during a scene, and we follow along as if the flashing from one viewpoint to another wasn’t at all unusual. You might think this is just because we’ve been accustomed to watching TV and movies, but researchers have found that even people who’ve never seen a motion picture have no difficulty following along with the cuts and different camera angles in a video.
…watched ‘Touching The Void’ tonight. Outstanding!
August is also Terry Gilliam season in BFI… ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’…
