KnightWing Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 The Nolan Batman films might be a bit more artistically-shot, but at least I could actually tell what was happening in The Avengers' fight scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 You're sort of proving my point there, K-Dubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 As a visual specialist of course he was thrown by stuff like that, however for most people it was the script and performances driving the thing. You couldn't shoot something like Avengers in the same manner as Dark Knight, it'd be completely wrong for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 You're sort of proving my point there, K-Dubs. I was referring to how the action scenes were shot, not the overall product. But why let my actual words get in the way of internet rivalry?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why let my actual words get in the way of internet rivalry?! "X may do this, but at least Y does this". That's pretty much what I was referring to. And an internet rivalry suggests we're competing over something, which is hardly the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I guess my thing is that for the cinematographer of a movie like the Dark Knight trilogy to call Avengers' cinematography "appalling" is a dick move, especially considering he's not above reproach himself.

Venneh Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 What I'm getting out of that article is that the cinematographers are of two different schools of thought on cinematography. (Though, Avengers DID use a lot of dutch angles.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 What the hell is a dutch angle? Is that a camera technique that speaks several languages and has loose sexual boundaries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why would he expect Avengers to be different or daring than other blockbusters? Personally, Pfister's done some fucking incredible work, but DKR is not something to brag about. It's easily the most jumbled and least consistent of Nolan's Bat-films and a lot of the problem has to do with visual continuity. TDK was a piece of genius in that aspect. Shame it couldn't be carried through. On the other hand, it's not like this guy's out tearing down the Avengers on a press run. He was in a classroom and likely asked about the film by a student. More power to him. You could learn from worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
