Knight of Cups Trailer

[Frank Glencairn]

I don't have a problem with wide glass per se.
Sometimes you want to use it (big landscape), sometimes you have to use it (tight spaces), but it is IMHO pretty limiting.
With limiting, I mean how you can set up and move, and place the camera, without playing the camera into the foreground.

In Knight the camera is like a parrot with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sitting on a guys shoulder,
constantly saying

"hey look at me, I'm a camera - look at me, I'm sitting on this dudes shoulder - look at me, he is carrying me around -look at me, and now he shoves me in that guys face"

If you use a camera like this - no mater what film, director or DP - it takes me out of the movie.

Frank have you seen Knight of Cups ? because otherwise it's an interesting statement, that it "takes you out of a movie" you actually haven't seen? - with love

- and to all the other knights of free negative speech and criticism, I think it's a lot more interesting to talk about the "why" on a professional forum, instead of just throwing mud blindly. That also goes for the silly discussion here about which camera was used.
that has got to be the least interesting fact about a new Terrence Malick movie, that a fellow red user has proudly worked on! Merry Christmas!
