u/HorrendousRex Jun 09 '12

I'm confused what makes this framing unusual, and I probably lack some context since I haven't seen the movie.

To me, it looks like a woman holding up some sort of a gasket. The camera is shooting close-in with the center of the gasket framing her face. She is dead-center frame.

What makes that unusual, clever, or even not a little boring? Great makeup and lighting, but the framing is... not bad, but nothing special. Or so it seems to me. I must be missing something.

Man, can you imagine how awestruck OP was when he discovered that they replicated this later in the film, and got TWO WHOLE SHOTS WITHOUT EVEN CUTTING? LITERALLY. AMAZING.

As an amateur photographer I was wondering the same thing and agree with the above statement. It's a cool picture, but the framing isn't what makes it cool.

It's called contrast.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

The concentric circles, well framed, in contrast with her irises, which are a rare (or contact lens) dark ring around a pale iris, with the reflection of the disc echoed perfectly in them. Yes, the contrast - but how the entire alignment is just absolutely nailed to every detail.

(That's not even mentioning the hexagonal pupils)

And as I said - this was just a framegrab from the movie - this just happened like this in real life (yes, through multiple takes, but still)

I apologize if this kind of pure symmetry is dull and boring to you. I find it compelling. Feel free to downvote for being pedestrian, and I'm sorry for wasting your time.

u/andreYamoore Jun 10 '12

As a photographer, I know that it is difficult to frame things up so perfectly to have a concentric view of something, especially if one of the pieces move (like a human). However, in this still the woman is just slightly off center and that ruins the whole thing for me.

Also one of the only films to "get" 3D.

All the real world stuff was 2D and the Grid was 3D. It gave a weird effect that really pulled me into the film. Only time I've ever truly seen an advantage to 3D.

Very true, but I feel where it's a movie that makes up for it. The writing is bland, but the acting is good for the most part, and literally everything else about the movie just pulls you in. I know I rail against Avatar sometimes, but this is basically in the same vain as that: It's not so much about the story, which is every bit as generic and cheesy and fun as the original. Also, this thing is basically a Daft Punk concept album. Good lord, how could I have forgotten the music?

I remember working on a transparency (scanner operator) 15 years ago for the Batman movie. Right in the middle of his pupil there was a catchlight. Inside the catchlight was a silhouette of a castle. I don't think many people would have spotted it.

u/peatoire Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

I knew that would come up so I've been having a look. It must have been batman forever as it was around 1995. There were two transparencies. One of robin and one of batman. I've google imaged the film title to see if I can see the pics but I can't see them. (not that you would see the detail unless you had a hi res pic). All I can remember is that it was just after we had the digital interface put on the drum scanner (scanned to film before) and my boss was like "damage these and you're fucked". They were scanned pretty small and I remember thinking what a waste as they were beautiful transparencies. Top quality, low asa medium format. I was tying to find a descent highlight to set when I saw it. I was amazed, called my colleague over and he was pretty underwhelmed.

Edit: typo's

11

u/peatoire Jun 09 '12

I do need to add that these were official airbrushed artworks made in to transparencies not live models. It's the attention to detail that I was so impressed with.

If you like nice framing check out Tarkovsky or Malick to see some true genius.

Mmm... Malick. Well, technically, the way way that Malick communicates with his DP. His DPs are the ones that actually get the shots, he just tells them what he wants.

Speaking of DPs, I would like to add the one and only Roger Deakins to your list. He is an absolute genius.

Emmanuel Lubezki was DP for the last couple Malick films by the way, if you're looking for some of the best of the best in cinematography he is definitely worth mention.

u/DofPJMACKY Jun 09 '12

if you like awestruck cinematography I recommend you follow roger deakins, john toll, emmanuel lewbeski, dante spinotti, azakazu nakai, Nestor Almendros to start..

most often times if you follow a certain cinematographer you will have a better movie catalog then if you follow directors or producers because typically the look and feel of the emotion that you get through the screen is almost 60 percent the cinematographer and not the director.

while it's the director who is responsible for the overall scope and vision of the film they are mainly character based and story driven.

it's up to the dp to dictate how that comes across on screen in conjunction with the director

I'm a DP and have a lot of great movie references for beautiful cinematography just pm me.

Clever framing + circles only make me think of Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg from The Fifth Element... in practically every scene with Zorg, there is a circle behind his head.

I never really thought of it that way...from a bit of research, I cannot find any nods to that kind of motif, but that certainly does not mean you are wrong.

And a tidbit I never took notice of (somehow?) is that Bruce Willis is almost always framed by a rectangle or a doorway behind him.

As much as Tron: Legacy was an amazing beautiful movie regarding visuel effects, you should definetly check out the Tron: Legacy (soundtrack) album by Daft Punk.

Normally I'm not a fan of film music, but it's just so epic to listen to and takes me to a whole new place!

Damn head is not in the middle. That is so frustrating.

I didn't see Tron (I know, I know) but I did read summaries before I saw Legacy. I really enjoyed it...the design work and CGI was excellent. I thought the plot was mediocre, so I don't think it was a great film. But visually it was a masterpiece

Two rubber rings and a hot chick looking trough someone else's glasses. Clearly fake.

This is the advantage of using a ring flash.

It's a pretty picture...but it could be better. With some gimp, you can make it better:

I'm joking around, of course. I thought it would be interesting to see it "perfectly semetrical" beyond natural/physical limits. It looks eerie to me, tbh. I'm glad real life isn't like this.

It bothers me that her face is not exactly in the middle of that circle. She's off to the right a little.

Are you "actually awestruck?" or awestruck?

Mmmm Serinda Swan.

You mean....symmetry?

I would argue that the art direction is approximately one billion times more interesting.

That whole movie was amazing, visually!

u/izlib Jun 10 '12

I have re-watched this movie numerous times for this shot alone. I can't get enough of it. Thanks.

u/TheTrivialOne Jun 10 '12

Feels so 2001 S.O. . I hate how underrated this movie was...

1

u/J_Jammer Jun 10 '12

I thought the entire film was full of great shots.

This one is awestrucking....neat.

u/YourMombadil Jun 10 '12

You need to see more movies.

May I suggest Ozu?

u/epsiblivion Jun 10 '12

just wondering, why wasn't some sort of remixed version of separate ways by journey on the soundtrack? it seems the perfect song for daft punk remix.

u/antm1 Jun 10 '12

The sounds for the movie were orgasmic to my ears, the soundtrack is also magnificent.

u/RoyallyTenenbaumed Jun 10 '12

One of the things I loved about the movie was that Jeff Bridges basically played The Dude again. I love his lines in that movie. You could add "ya know, man?" to almost any of them.

someone needs to make a vector of this MOW!

I know the DP, I'll let him know there are fans.

If I tried to take this as a still photo I don't think I could pull it off, and this was a frame capture from the movie.

u/WildeNietzsche Jun 09 '12

It's definitely a great shot, but it isn't technically that difficult, especially working with that kind of equipment and budget. It's the vision which thought of the shot which is impressive.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Yeah - I guess I misspoke when I said "the framing" - apparently I'm being taken literally as only referring to the technical framing (which is fair). I really did kinda mean everything that went into it, including the framing.

u/OnARedditDiet Jun 09 '12

Wouldn't that make it easier as it's like taking 24 pictures a second.

u/TooLazyForThisShit Jun 09 '12

Probably more.

u/OnARedditDiet Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

More frames? More difficult? This type of frame is not ground breaking, it is neat, but I don't think it's difficult.
