Insane how Jean Cocteau managed to pull off this shot in 1950. How would you achieve this?

This is from an episode of Attack On Titan, bottom shows the unfinished version. The finished version on top shows exactly what is wrong with modern anime: a bloatware of digital cheap effects and synthetic camera movements. The unfinished version is better

This is one of the best examples of misunderstanding a shot. Look at abyssal difference between these two. In Chung's original animation the scene builds up towards the eye that is setup to function like a venus flytrap. It's insidious, it meets your expectation even though it makes no sense. The shot is so simple and controlled, you arw drawn to the trap (the curving lock of hair guides us). Look atbthe movie, it just looks like a fly flew accidentlaly into her eye out of nowhere, just randomly.

Sardinia still preserves ancient rituals like these. Not only it looks kino, but it's also a continuation of the spirit of the island.

When Kurosawa painted for his storyboards he didn't try to represent a movie shot, but a vision in his mind's eye. The shot is one translation of that vision. The cornerstone of any art is vision

When McFarlane designed Spawn he exaggerated the design of the cape using his knowledge of graphics design. It of course moved and twisted unrealistically, but realism is not the point, it's spectacle. For the 1997 movie version they tried and succeeded at capturing it, sacrificing the unnecessary realism

This piece of trash is a good way to actually better appreciate how well directed and choreographed the original is. Only meaningful blows deserve a cut and when a change in fight strategy or a block happens, there us a 180 deg flip. Notice also how the rhythm of the fight and editing matches the music seamlessly. The AI generated video is just a spastic random reenactment of this without any design, rhythm, purpose.

I haven't been excited about a new italian movie in decades. I am happy to share the trailer for "Orfeo", directed by Virgilio Villoresi which came out yesterday. It looks beautiful, shot on film in 16mm, based on a Dino Buzzati comic from the 60s. Check the comments for more.

A very simple action scene shot correctly: 1 - Actors always in focus 2 - Scene is cluttered and yet blocked in such a way to have actors clear against the environment 3 - Camera never shakes except when kicked by Scorpion 4 - Cuts only when Cage is hit, never when Scorpion, giving rhe idea that Scorpion is barely getting hurt. 5 - Choreography and camera movements were measured and decided accurately, you can't waste film 6 - The light is behind the actors, but no glare or lens flare makes the actors perfectly visible 7 - The light is strong as it should be 8 - Cage is on the right and Scorpion in the left, in every shot. This used to be standard
