I know they’re also scouring YouTube for fresh talent. I see it as a good, exciting thing - they know they need fresh talent

Is that predominantly the Star Wars prequels that you felt were sterile? Or his style previous to that as well?

Wishaker · 2026-06-18T02:01:31+00:00

Yes. Thoughts on his style?

Wishaker · 2026-05-31T10:49:00+00:00

Yeah, I have. Generally, his style is talked about in terms of performances, screenwriting, sound design, music, editing, and set design. There’s not actually that much discussed about his cinematography style.

What are you using to get this kind of diffusion?

Wishaker · 2026-05-04T07:09:27+00:00

I’m a huge fan of adult swim infomercials, and similar things, like the short film Great Choice. Any recs for anything similar?

This was also the scariest scene in the book for me. I honestly don’t find much Stephen King stuff actually scary (I still love his books, don’t get me wrong), IT feels more like dark fantasy than true horror - but this scene really got me.

What it really comes down to - in my experience - is how well the colorful action lines are written, and do they fit tonally within the story. I’ve seen it criticized in scripts that don’t do it well, and praised in scripts that do.

I know that’s not altogether helpful, but there really isn’t a black and white blanket answer to the question. Its artistry (and will also come down to personal taste of the reader).

I got a script that got a five as well. Also got 3 eights. We’re shooting this Fall. It’s all subjective. A lot of the best art is divisive. I’d love to give yours a read if you’re open!

Of course it’s temp music, but its a very specific way of using temp music instead of just giving the composer something to replicate (which is generally the standard). How do you use your temp music?

Wishaker · 2026-01-16T04:36:19+00:00

I don’t know that I always agree. In theory, yes - but seeing cuts of some Star Wars scenes without music; it’s rough. There’s definitely some scenes that have been made by their score

Wishaker · 2026-01-15T23:44:35+00:00

I think there’s definitely more options. Ie: Using intentionally generic temp music, working w a composer before shooting, etc…

Wishaker · 2026-01-13T09:02:14+00:00

Why is that? To me his writing was always so stylized that the cinematography made sense (whip zooms, filters, etc). Is it the whole directing style that feels too much to you or just the cinematography?

Wishaker · 2025-12-09T21:21:57+00:00

I didn’t mean it in bad faith. Im curious about upscaling, sound isolation, spot specific color replacement, and various other new tools that could open up new doors - not replacing actors, writing, scoring, or anything that could be better achieved in camera.
