[@calebrobertson5041]

I forget which interview it is but Pete Docter tells a good story about test screening Monsters Inc. Basically an audience member said "I want to see what happens when Sully and boo get back together, who is with me." Which is the point, youre supposed to want that, but you should never see it, because your heart and mind will create the actual best version. But because of that Pete Doctor had to fight of the executives for a while to realese the version we got. Which is so good, because if it had just been shown to us it would have deflated the whole ending.

[@michaelcarens-nedelsky2263]

Caleb Robertson absolutely, which is the value of showing audiences a version with the bad suggestion, and seeing that, in fact, audiences don’t want what they say they want.

[@samuelcuevas1316]

But they totally missed the opportunity to use that in Monster University; the movie was OKish but at the end we can see the characters' progress into the company, I was all "Yes! The movie will end showing, or at least teasing, the friendship between Sully and Boo!" but totally missed the opportunity to redeem themselves. Instead used the boring bit of the snail and blew it all.

[@Shalalacls]

@@samuelcuevas1316 I was so mad at that movie when it came out! Like, half the plot revolves around making the doors, JUST SHOW BOO'S DOOR ALREADY! Or have a subtle hint of the whole laughter thing... Monsters University was just a waste of a good concept.

[@nyazillagojira7079]

Disagree. It was simple and to the point. If there were issues maybe that was it. Overall it was humorous if a bit light on what you expected from them. But if i recall they had a new hair algorithm to play with.

[@Alienrun]

I'm glad that desicion was made, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like Pixar movies (nevermind that I despise open ended endings...). Which is completely fine...I'm not the target audience. If the movie tried to cater to me, I probably wouldn't feel that much different about it as a whole!

You weren’t meant to like it. I also get annoyed when people call unspecified plot points plot holes too, ‘they never explained where the alien came from and why!’ or similar, well bugger me, so some guy thought of questions this movie didn’t set out to answer and is essentially dissing it for leaving room for a sequel, well I guess it’s shit now, huh?

I don't mean to sound like a douche, but what would an aspiring filmmaker have to know about screenings for? Just seems like a necessary evil to be able to make a big budget movie with a major studio.

[@michaelhenderson9754]

@@SanxBile I run an indie film screening show in Denver called The Emerging Filmmakers Project and I can personally attest even indie/amateur filmmakers test screen their pictures. They just do it themselves instead of a studio doing it for them, but they definitely want to make sure they don't have any blind spots before trying to get distribution. Post production can be an isolatory process and a test screening can frequently snap a director's mind back to reality in terms of what kind of movie they actually made.

[@SanxBile]

@@michaelhenderson9754 It makes sense - of course - to get an outside opinion. I think what I'm "worried" about is the artistic integrity and the motivation for making a movie. I might sound like a pretentious-f**k but I think it's worth thinking about.

[@BeierFilms]

4:08 I firmly believe that this is perhaps the biggest problem filmmakers encounter when getting notes. People will say, "I didn't like this" or "this upset me" without any real discussion of whether or not it's important for the narrative that they be upset in that moment. Great stories need moments of sorrow along with moments of joy. Furthermore, discussing any scene in a vacuum is an example of missing the forest for the trees.

Hilarious, brilliant and insightful. Thanks for this. Two requests: 1. You’ve talked about the value of you know something about post production effects work, and the value that has provided you in working both with VFX artists throughout the process but especially in the editing room when you can sometimes comp together placeholder effects on the fly. Given you didn’t go to film school, I’m wondering how you learned this. I’d be curious to watch a video similar to the one on sound about your learning journey. 2. Simulait but more meta, how did you learn to animate and what is the process that goes into making a short video like this? I’m a school teacher who’s interested in exploring the form of video essays in more detail, and given this is somewhat like a video essay I’d be interested to know how it was made in terms of both the writing process and the animation. Thanks for sharing these perspectives!

There's also stories about how two different test audiences were shown two different cuts of Suicide Squad. Some people that said they saw one cut said it was a really great movie. Those people claimed that the actual movie that came out wasn't the same as the one they saw at the test screening. Supposedly WB also got the company that edited the trailers to edit the movie due how well everyone reacted to the trailers and the version that was edited by the trailer company was the one that was released in theaters. Also the other cut that was shown at test screenings had a darker tone similar to the original trailer shown at Comic con rather than the other flashier trailers that featured the songs Bohemian Rhapsody and Ballroom Blitz. I feel like examples of when test screenings involving two different cuts of a movie usually ends up with a bad outcome.

[@imaginekudryavka9485]

@@danielterrell2191 "I feel like examples of when test screenings involving two different cuts of a movie usually ends up with a bad outcome" That's because you only hear about it in special circumstances, when the final movie is bad. Showing different cuts is done _all the time._ It means nothing. Also, you can't really derive any meaning from one person's account of the different cut of Suicide Squad. It could've been better, could've been worse. No matter what, it wasn't finished anyway at that point, so it would've changed in some ways regardless. I definitely think that they butchered Suicide Squad due to the response to the trailer and the success of Guardians of the Galaxy. But honestly, I think the "other version" (in quotes, because there never is just two versions, they're in a constant state of flux) would've also been bad, just in a different, darker way.
