This time we're talking about one of my favorite films ever, The Shining!
This is actually the first time I've dedicated a full video to a live action movie, I've wanted to try it out for a while because it seemed like an interesting new challenge, and with October coming up I thought the time seemed right.
I had to learn a lot about the elements that go into live action film specifically, like camera lenses and acting which was really interesting. There's an insane amount of info out there about the shining, if your curious Id take a look at the imdb trivia page for it, it is BIZARRE.
Here's some random things I didn't get to put in the video:
Jack Nicholsan was fed a diet of cheese sandwiches (which he hates) to keep him irritated and angry for the shoots.
Steven King had to sign a contract with the Stanley Kubric estate to get the shooting rights back for the mini series, agreeing he'd stop shit talking the Kubric version (unusually he there was a clause where he was still allowed talk about he he didn't like Jack Nicholsan as Jack)
Simpsons Tree house of Horror 5 (featuring the shining parody) is my favorite episode of the Simpsons.

Great video, Eyepatch. I absolutely loved the use of the clip where Jack chops at the door over and over when talking about Kubrick insisting on multiple takes. I do feel the need to point out one thing for the sake of constructive criticism: Seeing the same clips two or three times in the span of just over 20 minutes was a bit distracting, like the shot of Jack's hypnotic stare when Danny and Wendy are outside, and the party ghost with the scar running down his face. As far as I know this wasn't an issue with your previous videos, but I think it just jumped out at me now since you were working with live action footage in this one. Thanks for another thoughtful video. It'll be fun seeing what you have in store for the next one.
Let the month of spooks begin! Great vid as always Wolf! As luck would have it, Tree House of Horror 5 is also my favourite Simpsons episode XD
