Getting so hot and bothered about people enjoying the movie speaks volumes about your insecurity.

I think the wardrobe team did a good job thus didn't stand out amidst all other production issues. Ergo, he is missed out (",) <br /><br />Hoh, so you, as a lay audience spotted a mistake in the film. Aiyah, what more with me who studied filmmaking. I'm just an observer to the production, with minimum involvement to the whole process.

My mistake. Yeah he...Oh, now I remember the guy. My mistake. Yeah he's brilliant. <br /><br />For your information Anon, the visual look of the film rests on the director. He communicates the tone he wants to the DP during pre production (that's months before the shoot), and the DP tries to nail it to the best of his abilities. If he can't, then they compromise what can be done. Research here is important. <br /><br />In Hooperz case, the DP got a field test on the camera only days before the shoot. Which I think showed that they weren't too bothered on the importance of technical planning. Btw, a Red Cam is used to shoot this film. It's the first time the DP used that type of camera. So who's to blame for the retro look? Who knows, and frankly who cares. <br /><br />Oh, incidentally, how do you know the visual look of Hooperz is not what the producers wanted? Also, if the production had wanted vibrant colours, but they got bland colours instead, they could do some damage control during post. Because this film was shot in DIGITAL after all. Sigh, I can talk about so many things on how this film could be better, but ultimately, it all boils down to production planning, the funds to make the film and the talents involved (I'm not just talking about actors).<br /><br />I'm just glad the film is a tad worth watching because of the decent script and funnyman Khir Rahman. <br /><br />Btw, TMBF, keep up the good work.My Winonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-55983304338181002492010-05-07T09:49:53.635+08:002010-05-07T09:49:53.635+08:00errrr, actually my winona the costume designers is...errrr, actually my winona the costume designers is not 2 young female designers, they are just wardrobe assistants, the wardrobe designer for Hoopers is Mohd Sharum the guy behind Embun/Rock/Mukhsin & Muallaf.<br /><br />And i won't give credit to the dp, I felt the color should be more vibrant like pisau cukur, Hooperz visual look like a 80s hong kong movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-45019634031805058512010-05-05T22:17:27.208+08:002010-05-05T22:17:27.208+08:00@My Winona: Ooh, an insider speaks!
