    The funny thing is that they obviously didn’t have blue tint on the day, so this picture is probably exactly what it looked like while they were doing it.

    No music, no sound effects, no graphics. Behind the scenes footage is so awkward it’s amazing any movie gets made, and I love it.

      I have a problem when watching a show or movie, and I’m a little bit stoned, that I start thinking about how it was filmed, the camera angles, and the actors in the scene. It really takes me out of the moment

        There’s a scene towards the end of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at the River Anduin where they’re fighting off the orc/ Urakhai raiding party. As the camera jumps from one bit of action to the next, there’s a short (maybe 2 second) shot where an orc gets his face bashed into a rock.

        I just imagine the orc actor, halfway hunched over the rock, with another actor holding the back of his head, waiting for Peter Jackson to yell “action!” Just to smack his head against a rock. And for them to look over the footage, and say “no, I don’t really like the angle we got here. And your facial expression isn’t really what I’m going for. Alright everyone, let’s run “face into rock” one more time and take lunch”

        I’m like that when I’m not stoned, which is probably why as a 50 year old man I mostly watch romcoms and animation. With romcoms the set and lighting is straight forward so it doesn’t distract me, unless they are outside in the “tropics” then all the wrong plants and animals bother me.

        I watch a lot of Corridor Crew videos with my kids and now they just call out bad CGI all the time and they complain everytime they see AI slop out in the city. I’m glad they have critical eyes now, but I feel like I ruined the joy of simply enjoying movies for them.

      I saw a comment once that hollywood actors are all just the same “weird theater kids” from High School.

        “I’m going to make it in hollywood, i was so good in my high-school production of “Oklahoma” there’s no way I’m not going to make it.”

          LoL, I mean its one of those one way connections. Like all Hollywood actors are weird theater kids but not all weird theater kids are Hollywood actors.

          And its not all, but its probably more “most”. But for the most part, some random, jock football player isn’t turning into the next big time Hollywood actor, its the kid who did an overzealous Oklahoma production.

          Actually probably not that kid either, they probably went on to broadway. Hollywood will be the one who did “a good job” as the reocuring background character.

      Imagine hiring theatre kids to act. Obviously they should be recruiting from business majors and STEM departments.

      Yeah, all movies look weird and awkward behind the scenes. People don’t realize how important framing is and how much is tweaked in post production.

    Twilight was the most “theater kids being theater kids” movie ever. The entire movie was people over acting as if that’s what makes you a vampire. I kept waiting for Jon Lovitz to walk by yelling “ACTING!!!”

      There’s a parody called taintlight and they parody the overacting by overacting EVEN HARDER and it’s the funniest fucking thing. The production value is exactly in the realm of “high school project” but that somehow makes it better.

        That’s an actual screenshot of the movie? It looks like a shitty phone filter…

          Probably because it was a shit movie in the first place.

          I know what’ll settle this conflict involving ancient vampires and rando teens, let’s all baseball each other!

          still made more sense than quidditch though

        You know there was someone in the room saying…“ok that’s fine, but what if we made it even bluer greener?” And so we ended up with that.

    Without its signature blue tint, Twilight feels warmer and more grounded, replacing the cold, Pay for Your NBI Clearance Using GCash dreamlike atmosphere of Forks with a natural palette that makes the characters and settings appear more realistic. The romance between Bella and Edward becomes less ethereal and more intimate, shifting the film’s mood from moody fantasy to a softer, contemporary love story.
