Interesting exercise - never tried it before.

Excellent-What movie will you start with?

[@maxjones503]

@@Storylosopher I'm not sure. I like the idea of something involving tension and conveying that in the action. Maybe something from Hitchcock like Rear Window.

@@maxjones503 Great choice.

I feel like you should do this for rango next. Maybe the canyon chase scene?

This is incredible. Thank you so much. I am very grateful to you. You are inspiring filmmakers and writers by teaching them these beautiful techniques to learn. I would like to do this or see this happening from you for these movies: The Apartment Life is Beautiful The Help Pretty Woman The Godfather Shawshank Redemption Psycho Citizen Kane The Shop around the corner Titanic

You're welcome! Glad you benefited from this. I'll add them to my list of considerations. :D

Can't wait to do this to an Edgar Wright, Coen Brothers, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson movie.

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

Oh, and Gore Verbinski.
