Re: [scifinoir2] Neuromancer
Keith, maybe it's what the youngsters today like. Short-attention spans seem to be de rigeur. he makes some good points, but i've seen enough modern music video directors' work to stand by my apprehension. that he uses Michael Bay as an example really worries me: i hate Bay's directing style. If i didn't already know he directed music videos, i'd have guess. What I see from a lot of such directors is a lack of understanding of telling a story slowly, a penchant for too many quick cuts and over active closeup shots that force the action down my thorad, instead of slow pans and long shots that fill the screen. Look at some of the old classics like Lawrence of Arabia or The Bridge on the River Kwai, and note the long pans and camera angles. Then contrast those to some of the stuff music video directors make. Of course, much of my feeling stems form the fact that i hate most modern music vidoes: I just don't get why you have to have about a dozen camera cuts in a dozen seconds, why the picture changes angles constantly, why the color hyperactively moves from black and wh ite to full color. That being said, I haven't seen any of this gentleman's work, movies or music videos -- Original message -- From: Daryle I met Garrett Wang at LAX Airport yesterday morning. It was a very cool conversation. If you¹re ever at a Trek con and see him there, by all means strike up a conversation with him. He asked if I knew about the project.

I am all for this project being made, and Khan¹s Britney Spears work is completely irrelevant. He directed music videos, he didn¹t write the songs. Steven Spielberg directed ³1941² and ³A.I².

Re: [scifinoir2] Neuromancer
agreed. Read my movie reviews and you'll see the *main* thing I complain about after bad plotting/acting is music video direction. Maybe i'm just old, but i remember the days when a movie used long shots, slow pans, and let the action fill the screen and take place. Nowadays, so many films move the camera all herky-jerky, the screen's a jumbled mass of confusion, and the cuts and action are artificially frenetic. It's exactly like many music videos, which inexplicably may have a bazillion scene cuts in a few minutes. Why do I need to see a singer from ten thousand angles, each shot of which only lasts two seconds? I find all the modern penchant for fast-moving scenes to be irritating. I wish more young directors would go back and watch films from Shane to Lawrence of Arabia to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to a host of films where the long shot and slow pan are used effectively. Heck, even watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to see an *action* film that doesn't make the camera an intrusive partner to hype up the fever pitch! -- Original message -- From: Mike Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] But only a rare few can translate the art of story telling to film after having done a music video.
