Comment on James Cameron and Steven Spielberg direct the best battle scenes by Felipe

Felipe — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:27:08 +0000

I actually Googled “james cameron leonardo davinci” just to see if anyone thought the same as I did! Absolutely true! They were both innovators and contributed great amounts to their fields (and they both had a variety of fields too). Heck, Leo didn’t even make that many paintings due to that, and Cameron hasn’t really made too many films compared to others, but each one is a masterpiece!

And yes, Cameron, Spielberg (and a limited number more) are they only ones that can direct a great action scene… not like others…cough cough Michael Bay

This post was based on my own attendance of Terrence Malick’s interview. The New Yorker anecdote was part of this interview.

Just read part of the very last interview Malick gave in 1973, to author-journalist Shaun
Considine. Apparently a lengthy and deep exchange, in which Malick expresssed,
after the release of “Badlands,” he was going to be watched by the media and would
probably not be talking publicly again. Be interesting to find out more about that
total withdrawal.

Comment on Why music videos are dead by Udart

Music videos are replaced by fan videos, mash ups and mock videos and the professional directors have to look elsewhere for work while film students take over and do the job putting the local indie band on YouTube?
That’s one way of putting it – another that it was way too easy to gain fame on MTV. Too many slick but ultimately forgettable clips that resemble what they were – ads to make people buy the album.
Today if you’re an aspiring director, you have to get the right idea, be inventive or shocking or brilliant enough for the video to go viral and gain YouTube fame. Oh and you probably have to finance the shoot yourself or get donations from friends and family of the band…

Comment on Is branded content the future of advertising? by George Cahill III

Good article…I don’t know how old you are but if you can find reruns of the George Burns Gracie Allen show they always worked Carnation Evaporated Milk into the scripts & never cut for a commercial. Harry Von Zell would walk in & the spot would be part of the skit…way ahead of its time.

Thanks for a great site.
