Something tells me this movie trivia game was made with AI…

A film-themed trivia card asking, “In Police Academy, what is the nickname for the tallest tower?” The options are A – High Tower, B – Small Tower, and C – Academy Tower, with A – High Tower highlighted in red as the correct answer.

Oh wow. Well I guess it could actually be different people in the two shots then.

”The lenses in the close ups don’t look that long, the cameras would be visible in the wide. How long did they sit like that while they rearranged cameras?”

When you can’t turn off your filmmaking brain and ruin documentaries for yourself: ”Wait, those two shots were not shot at the same time. Is he responding to something else? Did they do separate takes? I can see her mouth moving in his shot but she’s not speaking”

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ronald Lacey didn’t know his face was going to melt and his reaction is genuine. I love learning film trivia on social media!

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I recently tripped and fell while running. I mentioned this in a WhatsApp conversation and joked that I’m too old to run at 45. Now I’m getting ads like this…

I think now that anyone can make Marvel style visuals we’ll see some really interesting stuff, maybe with a grungier more ”handmade” feel. Since you can’t compete by going bigger and flashier you’ll have to compete by being more interesting and unique. That’s my hope anyway.

A weird side effect of seeing all these Hollywood blockbuster style AI videos is that I get less and less interested in watching actual Hollywood blockbusters. It’s kind of like when someone makes a parody of a genre that’s so accurate that it ruins it and you can’t see/do it the same way again.

I guess I should have read the measurements and not just looked at the picture…

The last three Spanish films I’ve seen; The Coffee Table, Kidnapped, and Cell 211 have all been so incredibly bleak. Spain are you ok?

Most disturbing film watched: Kidnapped (2010). Brutal and bleak watch. Some impressive technical feats like the long unbroken takes and a head smash that almost rivals Irreversible. But man, you just feel bad after watching.

Watched 131 films this year. Mostly older films that were new to me. Favorite from this year: One Battle After Another. Weapons is up there too.

I guess YouTube has a yearly recap now too. Also, everyone should be watching Taskmaster.

Saw a familiar joke in ’After the Thin Man’ and went down a rabbit hole of finding the earliest filmed version. Walk this Way:

Yeah at first I had the text on for longer and it followed the footage off screen but it didn’t feel right. Since it has that old 70s look it felt too modern and out of place for me.

David F. Sandberg @ponysmasher.social · 18/07/2025

Yep. I’ve done some tests syncing audio and it’s been pretty successful but I just didn’t have enough film to waste on shooting a clapper board. Just start rolling and action! 🙂

David F. Sandberg @ponysmasher.social · 18/07/2025

Camera is good but I also use de-flickering and stabilizing in Resolve for a more steady, consistent image. I don’t remove any grain (I actually sharpen everything a bit) but I use the dust buster tool in Resolve to take out the biggest dirt and hairs. I’m going to do a youtube video on my process.

David F. Sandberg @ponysmasher.social · 17/07/2025

It’s funny how the compression removes so much of the grain that it looks more like 16mm film or something.

Shot a 2 min short on Super8 with @lottalosten.bsky.social while we were in Sweden. Shot on Kodak Vision 3 50D with a Canon 814XL-S camera.

When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞

Many times I’ve gotten these on the first try but yesterday I didn’t… 😳 (You only see a little bit of the image at first and more is revealed with each guess)

A screenshot of framed.wtf one frame challenge where you guess the movie. The film is Shazam and I got it on the second try.

I just learned they’re doing a ”Dancing with the Stars” and ”Shark Week” mashup called ”Dancing with Sharks”. Like, how do you even make jokes anymore?

David F. Sandberg @ponysmasher.social · 17/05/2025

I found what appears to be a production still where you can see there’s no background in the mirror, only black, so it was probably done because there was no set back there.

David F. Sandberg @ponysmasher.social · 16/05/2025

Trying to avoid seeing a non-existent part of the set? Avoid seeing lights?

Very puzzled by this bit in ”The Spiral Staircase”. She’s standing in front of a mirror but in the wide shots it’s clearly not a mirror but a flat picture (without her reflection). Very obvious when camera moves. What could be the reason for this?

You don’t have to shoot horror in actual low light
