Article Comment – The NY Times 25 Best Movies of the 21st Century, According to Critics and Filmmakers

A good film list tells you about movies a bad one tells you about its authors.
Uggh.
Only 3 of these would be in any serious top fifty and then there is the usual American myopia.
Overall reads as grab bag of ponderous mediocrity with a couple of film school touchstones for belated cred.

Article Comment – Watch: Sigourney Weaver Takes Out Aliens in Neill Blomkamp’s New Post-Apocalyptic Short

Comeon - Bloomkamp has done his two original ideas doco cam plus aliens and immigration - invasion analogy and now he's just cannibalising the terminator universe but with ponderous voiceover to try and hide the complete lack of imagination.
Go design post apocalyptic games already ...

Article Comment – 4 Basic Elements of Paul Thomas Anderson's Cinematic Style

JPA is a filmmaker I want to like but his style is so unengaging I always come out wondering why I dont care.
I like his themes, stories, actors and performances but some combination of the cinematography and cutting leaves me in 3rd person no matter how powerful the acting and dramatic the scene.
Want to feel but just don't get any help from his visual style.

Article Comment – How to Record Great Sounding Natural & Ambient Audio In-Camera

Wow - some of these thoughts are mind blowing. Forget picture -chase sounds with your camera. If you want strong sound go close more environmental further away !
Nothing about getting atmos or coverage or protection against noise or interference.
I have no doubts the guy has done a sound course but film sound - not at all.
The options are not between a pro mixer and nothing - they are between a pal with a mic either with a wire back to your camera or better to a cheap recorder. The best sound is rarely captured from the same angle as the best shot. But better again is to borrow a zoom or olympus hand recorder (I phone if you must) and mic it up and get a pal or student to get sound whilst you attend to the pictures. You can hire a field recorder mic and wire for a day for about $50. Try student union hire for best prices. http://www.scarycow.com/lowbudgetaudio/
Fraid this is another common NFS 3rd party advertisement dressed up as a article.
Not so awful if the "experts' actually knew something about film sound but not guilty here.
