And strive for a human touch. Do not strive to make a perfect gleaming stopwatch of a David fincher movie anymore. It is a dead end. And lots of people are racing down that direction at 100 mph

We are at perfect images. We are there. Do not be impressed with yourself that you can spit perfect video out on a computer. Do not be impressed you can generate a dude talking on a bicycle riding over lava. You don’t order from McDonald’s and call yourself a chef. Strive for the most unique voice…

Play the decades like notes on a piano. Want to set your movie in 2025 but hate modern cars, ok, fine, have a rule that no cars post 1982 are allowed. People will not think about it. You don’t have to make a period movie to dress the movie in the style you want. No one cares. No one cares…

Fight for entirely new aesthetics and visual language, that’s not impossible! Poor things, the substance, cough cough ahem *speed racer* these are projects with visual approaches that are harder to describe than “liminal 70s” or “film grain 80s”…

It isn’t enough to perfectly replicate an aesthetic anymore, there have to be some fingerprints on the glass. Ai cannot make mistakes, that is heralded as a good thing to Ai people, so recognize it’s your only window to proving something was human made at this point. Embrace that…

The only way to beat Ai is to let some true human shitty mistakes in. Cameras that don’t land perfectly on marks, focus pulls behind missed for a second, actors who aren’t also video game characters. Look at the intentional wonky camera work in “the holdovers” and you can see a path forward…

It’s also still the ONLY FF where you’ve got 5 party members at a time! Will they ever bring back turn based? I wonder if Clair has made them think about it

Your list was my favorite for whatever it’s worth

My buddy summed it up as, “The people of the town are too busy on a “witch hunt” while an actual witch just skates by.”

The parasite thing is fun foreshadowing for sure, but “witch” being painted on her car seals that overall connection for me, personally.

I’m assuming you were stuck in construction and had lots of time to snap this

Wow! Can’t believe this is happening! He’s great in this!
