They better be paying thousands of extras to march in ranks because I can’t stand either CGI formations or a handful of guys standing in for the whole battle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1oLflPilcMc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t7KH1lM_bZM Compared to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CbBojWrOV2Y

To save money on battle scenes, they've been reimagined as 1-v-1 duels using pencak silat.

Antonymous posted:didn't expect barry lyndon to get thrashed It’s a beautiful film and the battle is shot like a Lady Butler painting, incredible execution by Kubrick. It was an insignificant skirmish and that’s the point narratively, I mean in terms of other productions shooting combat on this scale, far less skillfully than Kubrick, and using it to stand in for a whole battle. Not knocking Kubrick, but I couldn’t find a clip from idk Canada: A People’s History.

david lynch got asked to direct starwars with the DP of Rocky Horror Picture Show (peter suschitzky) the DP stayed on and Lynch dropped out. Empire strikes back is the best shot starwrs. Lynch later did Dune and Peter did every cronenberg movie except the newest one. edit: peter also did some trash with a bunch of other good directors like Mars Attacks and After Earth "hey you did starwars and rocky horror would you like to do Tim Burton's space alien movie" is a sensible question Antonymous has issued a correction as of 19:23 on Aug 12, 2022 |

Lynch’s story about it is hilarious, George is trying to explain wookies and droids and ewoks to him over the blandest 80s salads imaginable and Lynch just starts getting the worst headache of his life before essentially running from the table while telling George to direct it himself

i say swears online posted:rip the battle scenes in HBO's Rome the background soldiers and battle scenes were one of the major reasons why rome was a huge moneypit. they demanded all the extras wear handmade armor, learn to march in formation, and even camp like real roman soldiers (hair gel was banned on set) all for something that appears once at the beginning of episode 1 in a heavily blocked night shoot

The skirmish in episode 1 is great, the battle with Brutus is kinda okay I guess, and I think that's literally all the actual battle scenes they had budget for?

imagine sleeping outside for a few weeks doing combat training and forbidden to bathe and then you learn all the scenes you were supposed to appear in were cut for time/budget

I was totally fine with their budget-saving move of “show general announcing the attack; cut to slightly disheveled general walking back into his command tent happy/angry” I wasn’t watching Rome for the battles, and if they’d had the budget to include them more often it would have made the series worse

I think cined had a subversive movie thread once but it was only a handful of pages iirc. Someone paid you to create art, it was always selling out, pop artist are sellouts that's why we don't talk about it anymore. Otoh, shyamalan is got free.

More productions need to do stuff like that, I really appreciate it. Commit to the setting and don’t compromise production design. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J7MYlRzLqD0 There were spirited debates in the Classics department about if the references in Vegetius to Roman soldiers being replaced meant whole units or ranks as shown. Also the equipment of the soldiers in Rome iirc is anachronistic by a century or so? To their credit they resisted the temptation to use lorica segmentata. e: I guess they remade a League of Their Own? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BSSGJ4Wojp0 The original’s not even that old and Millennials still watch it!

It’s cool to watch braindead and bad taste and think about how they gave that guy like a billion dollars to direct the lord of the rings trilogy. It’s just too bad he didn’t have frodo do the lawnmower scene with a bunch of orcs or something.

I don’t know what it is about Peter Jackson but the preproduction and production design for those films was incredible, absolutely incredible. I don’t know how they knew to expect that from his previous films, but that dedication made those movies work.
