Cinematic Perspective - Draftsmen S04E04

Marshall and Stan discuss the importance of cinematic perspective in storytelling, emphasizing how camera placement, movement, lighting, and color can influence the audience's emotions and perceptions. By manipulating these elements, artists can create dynamic and engaging narratives. They also touched on the contrast between continuity and dialectic approaches in film editing, using examples from classic and modern films to illustrate how these techniques enhance storytelling.

I started binge watching draftsmen (not my first time) about three week ago. Timing was amazing.

[@Draftsmen]

We knew you needed us! Thanks for listening.

[@thesunthrone]

I missed Marshal's fascination and wealth of knowledge so, so much. He is such a pleasant listen. Glad to see you guys back, during this time away I've gone from just being fascinated with art and listening the podcast on my daily commutes to doing art myself and relating to all of this so much stronger! I probably should rewatch the whole catalogue again!

[@JeremmyaDevin]

Celebrating the comeback of two my most dear artists with binge watching from episode 0.

[@davidvega7773]

all episodes should be Marshall’s …he is very knowledgeable..and I always learn something from him. It’s cool to joke around but sometimes it takes away from Marshall’s train of thoughts. Welcome back guys. Looking forward to some interesting episodes

[@KiX-K4T13]

I don't care if this becomes a rare commodity! I enjoy these when they pop up. Thanks for not letting the podcast go entirely! I do treasure these! ❤😊

[@lovehandle3454]

So true. I understand that it becomes hard to come up for things to talk about so i wouldn’t mind they started uploading once a year if that meant it continued. I value these episodes that much ❤

Gooooooooo

[@ren-ren-ren-ren-ren]

Thank goodness to youtube and the internet. I can listen to Marshall for hours and hours.

Never thought this day would come... Another Draftsmen video!!!

[@seanramsey]

On the acting bit around the 32 minute mark, Thomas Flight recently did a video on the change from Theatrical acting to more Naturalistic acting now and how The Godfather was kind of the movie that kickstarted the current style of acting. It was pretty good.

[@robbiegibson5005]

At around 25:00 you are talking about the Kuleshov Effect. Pudovkin was one of Lev Kuleshov's students who helped him develop montage theory.

[@charnich]

we put a little note on screen at 24:15, thank you!

[@robbiegibson5005]

​@@charnichSo you did! Sorry, I was listening and not watching

[@jeffarsenault5038]

Good to have you back gents! Please purchase the perspective course. You'll produce pleasing pictures, placing priority on ploting proximate paths on paper!

[@pibyte]

I strongly recommend "Network" by Sidney Lumet - people should watch the entire movie because it gives that monologue they love sharing online so much its proper context.

[@OldTomato44]

As soon as he said "hard cut," I thought, "given the nature of this episode, they're 100% gonna do it..."

[@savvysod8995]

Like what an animated viking once said. "You're as beautiful as the day I've lost you." Is the feeling I felt when I saw the upload ♥

[@ArturoCalle-lq8ob]

I miss this podcasts so much! I hope you two come back from time to time, is such a joy to hear you talk and laugh!

THE NEW DRAFTSMEN EPISODE, THE NEW DRAFTSMEN EPISODE IS REEEEAAAAALLLLL

[@greenpandadraws8817]

My favorites on cinematic story telling is definitely in Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is like cinematic eye candy that really pushes the narrative. Another example is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where Jyn confronts Krennic and the subtle up shots and down shots of the power dynamic between the two is *Chefs Kiss*

[@heiispoon3017]

YEAAAAH!!! Playin this while drawing!!!

[@andersoncarmo2992]

miss this so much!!

[@veryfilthything]

Hey, I'm glad to see more Draftsmen stuff. I just wanted to say, you guys have mentioned not having subjects to talk about, but I think doing an episode on drawing from imagination would be very helpful. Its of course come up many times, but I don't think you ever did an episode fully dedicated to it (I went back and looked since I've been struggling with it). I would love to hear some thoughts on it and potential resources to improve it as a skill, as I'm really struggling to figure out what I should do to learn it. Thanks if you consider this comment!

[@EE-lm2ff]

Please please PLEASE can you do an episode about finding your art style. Like a whole episode dedicated to it cause I think a lot of artists struggle with this x

[@MehmetEralpArt]

I've been rewatching old episodes in last couple weeks, while drawing. It was a nice surprise on my feed seeing a new episode :)

[@sabersight908]

best and only (but probably shouldn't be) artist podcast xD and i actually liked the AI episode a lot, you guys gave and still give great artistic insight on all kinds of topics :P

[@jojogarcia8766]

My favorite piece of storytelling/cinematography is in Game of Thrones. The scene is between the young king and his grandfather. By the end of it you have this wormseye'ish view of the throne and the symbol of the gods behind the characters. As the Grandfather leaves he steps done from the stairs of the throne. You'd think he'd drop below the staged king and these other visual elements but he only gets bigger in the frame, looming even over the symbol of the gods, demonstrating the dynamics of his character's importance in the story. I may have listened to Game of Thrones Noobs Podcast.😅

[@izzakhan383]

yay!!! the fact that i j recently started listening to your podcasts n found out they ended ☹️ THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER

[@ciscoponch67]

"Deas as a door nail." : Its meaning is disputed but most likely it referred to the costly metal nails hammered into the outer doors of the wealthy (most people used the much cheaper wooden pegs), which were clinched on the inside of the door and therefore were “dead,” that is, could not be used again.

I am not sure if I agree with Stan's opinion on the Bear and camera waiving. I think the shots of cooks doing rigorous work is integral to what the show is trying to tell.
