I constantly look at things like that these days. I even look at things that they may have edited as well, like if they have cloned something or taken things out of the shot or even added something in.
I'm getting into screenwriting, so I promise that you're not annoying your wife at the movies nearly as much as I am. ;-)
I think Philip should stop annoying Nelzie's wife completely - at the movies, or anywhere else!
hilarious steve! :)
minoring in film and video production almost ruined the entire basic movie-going experience for me, as i would analyze every scene to pieces! interestingly, since getting into still photography, i don't do that as much anymore. or maybe it has just become inherent and i just have ceased to notice it. :)
I don't have a tv but we have some at work. When I go on break I watch some news and I keep thinking about how the people look like they have had too much ni applied. Has anyone else noticed this? It's not just the makeup that makes them look so plastic, it looks like a lot of filtering has been added. Or maybe they are cheap tv sets.
I was watching "Cold Moutain" this past weekend...in the shot where N. Kiddman's charater is looking out side and touching a first snow....I thought to myself....BAM, tha't a great shot for a still....the snow was pure white and the look of peacefulness on the actresse's face was perfect with natural light...great shot...come to my amazement, on the DVD, there was a still done of the scene...so the location photogragher saw it too....:)
I do often have found myself even to watch movies (to get away from photos for a while) and still look for shots...of course they are copyrighted...however, ideas....
I started to see the world in b/w when I started my first photography class. I looked at shadows and light in a totally different way. You're not the only one who does that.
