I think being called a very silly boy by Werner Herzog would enrich my life in ways I can’t express.

Fantastic episode that one! So many things mentioned, the only thing I didn’t like is that it wasn’t longer, I could have listened for hours :slightly_smiling_face:

One very interesting part, was bringing up the comparison of games to film with the limits of what you can see. Really made me think about film and the things that are out of shot, what is actually going on and can I fill in those blanks myself or should I leave them be? I look forward to my next film with a different perspective (sorry it was a horrible joke but only word that really fit) and imaging what I am not seeing for a change.

That reminds me of this video about The Zone Of Interest. It discusses how the movie works quite a bit with what you can’t see:

An interesting video that one, thank you. I actually think the example of The Zone of Interest doesn’t need to expand on what is happening off screen, because those events are not part of the story being told in this instance. They would be the awful sounds you would assume to hear, and the expected background noise which adds an incredible depth to the film. The sound is pretty clear at letting the viewers know what is going on, what is amazing is the detail and effort they went to add that level of realism. When I saw that film, I didn’t need to imagine what was going on - or maybe for that one, I didn’t want to.

I’m not sure it was exactly what I was thinking about when I said about what’s out of shot because it was more the visual than the audio part of it, but I really did enjoy watching that documentary and glad that it inspired you to share something I probably would never have watched! So thank you again :slight_smile:
