Electromax posted:A well-done recent example IMO involved a dragon attack on a wagon caravan in HBO Game of Thrones, a lot of it is grounded in the confusion and panic among ground troops while everything burns around them, maybe that was driven by budget but made a more compelling horrific scene than watching it all from afar. Also a surprising amount of the effects in that scene were done practically where they probably would have been done digitally in a bigger production. Need a shot of a bunch of guys being consumed by dragonfire? Dress up a bunch of stuntmen in armor and burn 'em up! (Make sure they can hold their breath a long time.) Need a shot of Dothraki screamers firing arrows while standing on the saddles of galloping horses? Train up some stuntmen! They also did that "Bird's eye view zooming over the battlefield" shot that you always see in big CGI battle scenes but here they had an actual reason (one character was actually zooming over the battlefield on a dragon) and they used physical cameras on drones and on cables to get the shots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w39HqtxKV98 Edit: people keep talking about how Steppenwolf's fight with the Amazons was one of the best scenes in Justice League but the lovely lovely CGI horses kept distracting the hell out of me. The technology just can't match actual horses shot by actual cameras. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Nov 30, 2017 |

bushisms.txt posted:Considering how bad suicide squad was and yet better received by "fans" than BvS, can you blame them? Stop thinking about making good films and make sure the fans get all the fan service they can tolerate. There's entire companies that do nothing but monitor social media and count the number of "mentions" that a film or a character will get on Facebook or Twitter or Youtube etc etc and collate all the data for the studio executives. You can absolutely bet your rear end that they have good hard evidence that certain demographics got way way more excited about Harley Quinn than any of the other DCEU characters and the executives will have funneled a ton of money into Harley Quinn project development.

MiddleOne posted:Like if any of you guys think this is a good way of analyzing editing then I fully get why you're having trouble understanding why audiences collectively found Suicide Squad dull and confusing. It's more a critique of direction/blocking/continuity than anything and a lot of that could be down to the scene getting cut down or shuffled around for reasons of timing. The editor did a drat fine job cobbling all those mismatched shots into a scene that flowed and made total sense to the audience. I don't remember feeling that anything was out of place when I watched the scene. It's just interesting when a guy takes you by the hand and slowly points out all the inconsistencies and you go "Holy poo poo I would never have noticed any of that"

Shageletic posted:That's pretty fascinating. I hear the DC exec shakeup happened pre Justice League, I wonder it was a result of the disappointing reception of Suicide Squad. Were they disappointed with it's reception, though? It's pretty clear from FoldableHuman's description that they were in a blind panic during the filming & editing processes but judging from how many sequels and spinoffs they now have planned around it they can't be all that disappointed.

Shageletic posted:Who knows exactly what is going on. But it seems logical to me that in a realm not governed by actual profits and losses, but rather a horse race deciding whose shares go higher in basically a duopoly, the appearance of losing can be deeply affecting. And the narrative is that Marvel is very much ahead. I'd even go as far as to say that it's a three way fight between the comicbook shared cinematic universes of Marvel, DC and Fox's X-Meniverse. Fox had a few stumbles along the way (especially with Fantastic Four) but they gained a lot of ground recently with Logan and Deadpool. Given how cheesy their other X-Men films have been it's kind've weird that Fox managed to pull out some "dark and gritty" films that met with fan approval when the general perception is that DC kept trying and failing to achieve the same thing.

By the way it's hilarious that everyone was ragging on Foldy for saying that Suicide Squad was such a mess that even people who liked it would miss a major character's death and everyone's response was "Slipknot wasn't a major character, who could he possible mean???" which I guess means that everyone completrely forgot Diablo's death .... probably because the film was such a mess that you totally forgot about it in amongst all that other crazy poo poo that was happening at the same time. Edit: I also totally forgot about it and only remembered because I looked up the plot on Wikipedia WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:He shoots a brick of C4 they chuck into Enchantress's big magic generator glowy blob that's powering her big floaty cannon which is carving up all the military's bases and hardware in orbit and at sea. Then she's like "ah nuts you ruined my plan but I'll still get you" and the fight keeps going.... IIRC..? lol gettin exposed in this thread as a bad movie rememberer The big floaty magic machine became vulnerable to physical attack because Incubus got blowed up and Enchantress got her heart cut out. After that happens she's left completely weakened and actually begs Katana to kill her so she can rejoin her dead brother Edit: and Incubus became vulnerable to physical attack because .... uh .... he used up all his magical powers fighting Aztec God-version Diablo to a strandstill?

On the other hand there sure are a lot of people out there with Harley Quinn tattoos and I guess there's a whole bunch with Deadpool tattoos so it kind've makes sense that the studios would roll with it ...

Hey remember that Forbes article that said WB faces a possible $50m - $100m loss on Justice League? I wasn't totally convinced by his box office predictions when the article first came out but it looks like his projection of a $235m domestic box office is going to be pretty much exactly spot on. So I guess his prediction that it'll end up with a total worldwide theatrical gross of $635 million might also be pretty spot on. That means it stands to make roughly $75 million less than Amazing Spider-Man 2, the film which was so disappointing that Sony dumped the series (even though they'd announced a whole bunch of sequels and spinoffs) and had to wait for things to cool off for a few years before they went and begged Marvel to help them bail it out.

Wonder Woman's success is not going to help the other DCEU films going forwards until the release of WW2 which is still two years and several films away in their schedule. They did a breakdown of WW's audience demographics and found that there was an extraordinarily high number of women, people over 50 and infrequent moviegoers compared to other superhero blockbusters. The other thing we know about those people is that they probably didn't go see BvS even though Wonder Woman had a minor role in it and they almost certainly didn't buy a ticket to Justice League even though it featured Wonder Woman fairly prominently. The people who ensured WW's box office success are a fairly varied bunch but the one factor that they all seem to have in common is that they're not interested in watching superhero films that have male leads.

Oh hey they've finally got a title for this. It was still listed as "Untitled Sony animated Spider-Man film" when I check 4 days ago. I guess they're leaning hard into the shared universe concept by starting with their big team up film and I guess branching out into individual films afterwards which is a bold new take.
