oh look it's a post
lol look at this icon I made from a pic I took in North Beach

Unreal Estate
“There’s something inherently spooky about the establishing shot: we’re approaching someplace we’ve never been before—whether through killer-cam, point-of-view or objective perspective, and whether glimpsed from a distance or walked through for the first time, it’s that sense of uncertainty that unites these views of some of the most iconic locations of cinematic trauma, whether that location is an old dark house, a motel, a mansion on a hill, a church, a split-level, a torture chamber or a spaceship. “

basically, a mashup of various establishing shots.

Not that great, but interesting if a) you're a film geek and want to identify shots, and b) you want to kill time.

It could be more awesome, but it inspired me to WRITE THIS AWESOME QUOTE:

I think the best establishing shots make a promise: something will happen here, and you will remember this setting for years to come.



point 2:
third (not second, thank you geekfreak03 for the correction) in the Cities of Love series (that I haven't even watched, haha)
Shanghai, I Love You (a.k.a. Shanghai, wo ai ni)

speculate.

I can't help being fascinated even about those shots where I'm not sure about the source :) Thanks for posting this.

That video was quite cool. Although, the best part of it was definitely identifying the shots.

Also, that IASIP gif will never fail to make me smile. Oh, Charlie, you special little person <3

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

yeah.



the strange thing is that his idea would totally sell, I know it. Mac's towel was pretty brilliant too, just didn't know how to market it haha

That is an awesome quote :D

I've not seen any of that series either. And Anton Yelchin was in New York, I Love You, but I've still not been able to find it at cinemas even though it was released about a month ago.

thanks!

you do know that he has an...interesting part in the end of his segment, don't you?

[chuckney.livejournal.com]

I don't... Interesting how?

I really really need to find that film :D

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

umm...well it involves public intercourse. Based on an actual life experience of the director.
