Chrille Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 What are your thoughts on Bertrand Mandico? Honestly i find it quite hard to understand the concepts and strories of his films, but the way his movies look and are shot is super faszinating. Also great that he comes from an animation background: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kieley Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 After David Lynch's passing, one of my local theaters screened Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive, so I finally got to see them on the big screen. Eraserhead is a top 3 favorite and Mulholland Drive might even be in the top ten. Lynch is my all time favorite director/artist. The biggest advantage to seeing these theatrically finally, is the sound. His sound design is unlike any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ash Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Very funny MrSMW, One of the guys involved in making F1 the film said " we are aiming at bringing the "Top Gun experience to Formular 1 racing".The financial experience may have also played a part with Top Gun 1986 box office $357 Million and only a $15 million budget Top Gun Maverick 2022 $1.5 Billion box office and $177 million budget.Top Gun was arguably the first film to give a reasonable impression what it was actually like to fly a f14 Tomcat .The films story is cheesy to say the least ,even the shag scene was added at the last moment. Much of the 2025 F1 film actual racing sequences the camera position changes every few seconds leaving only a vague impression of driving.Have a look at this for comparison- F1 Grand Prix (1966) - Music Video - Lost but Won - YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I just found out that Stalker is free on YouTube.... I saw the movie when I was young but not since, so I'm waiting for a good time where I can sit and watch uninterrupted.

eatstoomuchjam Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 For me, Stalker is one of the most gorgeous films ever made. I feel inspired every time I watch it! kye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I definitely prefer to go to the movies when it’s empty. I don’t like the random noises and the constant moving about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfun Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Art… Over the last couple of years I have become increasingly disillusioned by “video”. Far too much emphasis on gear. Buying the latest drone or gimbal or battery solution and upgrading this or that or, preferably, both. And to what end? To produce something that a handful of people will watch once on a phone screen? Last year I had the opportunity to produce a couple of short promotional films for a heritage steam railway. They got in the order of 10k views. Were they “art”? No, they were artistically dreadful. Was there any joy in making them? Not really - far too many hours sitting staring at a screen trying to remember how to use Resolve. (And, to be honest, the parts people liked most were the iPhone bits - the “artistic” sweeping views and thoughtful sequences were redundant…) All the time wondering whether a Canon might be better (whatever that means) than my Sony? A LUMIX better than my P6k? Or should I look good and get a RED badge? Or a Nikon? All, of course, irrelevant… the quality of today’s stuff is way more than what I’m capable of. So a change of scene. I’ve bought a M11M to produce art for the wall. Something which will last beyond a quick Vimeo view. It’s gorgeous to use. I got a mix of Leica and Voigtlander lenses (the latter’s 28/35/50 Apo are fabulous). The results are incredible. Ok, so I still need to sit at the computer with Capture One but protecting the highlights and pulling up the shadows reveals staggering levels of detail. And standing by the side of a Scottish loch debating whether to use a green, yellow, orange or red filter? Well, it ticks the pseudo-intellectual hipster box. Of course, the P6k will come out of the cupboard every-so-often but the focus - the passion - is now on monochrome art. Art. In both process and product.
