While it's easy to sit back and cherry pick bad visual effects and blame the industry for making movies the way they are, you're really not seeing the whole picture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
When you make a movie, you know you're making a long-form thing, so the visuals are different than for a video where it has to be more obvious or in your face, I think, a little bit.
People are mistaken to view cinema as some sort of gimmick. It's very much ingrained in the ways in which we understand each other.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
The parts of a film should be in proportion to the whole, and a long film pasted together out of quick little scenes makes me dizzy.
Making movies is about creating illusions, and they can be subtle illusions, but it's all a cumulative effect as you make these little tweaks. It kinda adds up to something, hopefully.
I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing.
The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.
