355. Directorpiece Theatre: The Insane Craftsmanship of House (1977)
🕑 Added 2021-01-31 14:01:00 +0000 UTC
Abe walks us through the plethora of editorial, post-production, and camera tricks used by Nobuhiko Obayashi, the director of the Japanese horror comedy, House. From cutting out mattes and placing them directly on the frame, to rotoscoping, to practical effects, to editorial pacing, Obayashi is able to command a tone and humor entirely of his own creation. Abe talks about how the film influenced western directors and how technique and style define every filmmakers’ “voice.” Adam surprisingly did not hate the film, dashing Abe’s hopes for a combative podcast.

I'm so glad you guys are covering quirky movies like these. I've accidentally dived into the tvtropes for the movie once but never felt the urge to actually watch it till now.

Hey for real though one of these on aspect ratio & its effects on what the artists are trying to say with that choice would be excellent.
