Someone has to take all this great talent and turn it into one solid vision.<BR/><BR/>This blog is dedicated to Fincher so we focus on him but I assure you no one here is neglecting the work of other people involved in his works. If you notice this discussion is taking place in a post about the works of Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter ;)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous quote:<BR/><BR/>"Seriously though, Fincher is a great director. But I think overidealising him doesn't do anyone any good."<BR/><BR/>I try my best not to do it :)<BR/><BR/>"What do you think about game adaptations in films, and games in general?"<BR/><BR/>It's a hard job to make a good game adaptation. One reason might be that games are more and more "film-like". I think that "Game Adaptation Industry", like "Comic Book Industry" before them, is still waiting for their own Zack Snyder or Chris Nolan.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see a good "Dead Space" adaptation :)mikezhttp://www.youtube.com/profile?user=michalz00noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842104168403310590.post-38822494998953508192009-04-04T00:27:00.000-07:002009-04-04T00:27:00.000-07:00Anon, You are one cynical chap.

If it was only about taking the soryboards and turning them into film or commercial then Apple should hire me or you... it just sounds so simple. But quess what they hire Fincher or some other "Big Name" director. Why? Because it's cheaper that way? I think not. Maybe they hire them because they have what it takes to make those storyboards something more. I would call it a magic touch! :)mikezhttp://www.youtube.com/profile?user=michalz00noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842104168403310590.post-46650931656201290632009-04-02T16:18:00.000-07:002009-04-02T16:18:00.000-07:00The ad agency which commissioned the spot for Appl...The ad agency which commissioned the spot for Apple had the last word, as is usually the case in the advertising industry. Directors execute their storyboards, which is often in place before directors even get on board. In this case, they probably wanted a shorter ad that fit into more time slots in commercial break windows on tv, which costs less in terms of buying slots and results in more frequent airing, thus increasing the effect of the ad, which is to sell a product (d'uh).<BR/><BR/>But I guess most people who visit this blog prefer believing that the commercial is entirely Fincher's vision, and not an executed storyboard from an ad agency. Gotta keep on dreaming and holding up the myths of filmmaking, right? Cause it's so magical, it's a wonderland! And Fincher of course is a wizard who snorts commercials like these out of his nose in the morning before breakfast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842104168403310590.post-32464583056961587352009-04-01T11:14:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:14:00.000-07:00I wouldn't say they fucked around with it.
