He’s been shooting commercials and shit for years so he gets it. On Transcendence, look, really good DPs are virtually directors in a lot of facets of filmmaking so I think a lot of it is already there for him. I worked with him on The Dark Knight Rises. How does Wally Pfister direct, having had all his experience as a cinematographer?

I’ve made enough relationships in the business where I could pull favors to make this movie for basically no money, and pull the favors where people would lend me their expertise to do it in the hopes that they would get paid back at some point in time. So I went through the program then and started shadowing directors.
#The hunted 2013 tv
When I got the TV show “Dirt” which was about 2005, I told those guys as soon as I was hired and the show got picked up that I wanted to direct. How long into being an actor for hire had you started planning to direct something, and direct something for yourself to star? A lot of the hunting world is filming a lot of shit and you’re viewing it on computer screens and you’re filming the computer screen as it’s happening. That leans a little bit on the hunting world. How can you take something that people have already established and make it your own and do your own thing with it? What can we do that’s a little different? What can we do that’s our own thing? Let’s just do that. How did you come up with the idea to reveal some of the scares that way?Įverybody sort of bags on this whole found footage thing and all this bullshit. One thing I think I’ve never seen before is when you point the camera at the other camera’s monitor. I wanted to stay true, but then when he showed me that, it just made sense to add that music where it seems to find. That’s what I was speaking about with Walter. So we still wanted to have a semblance of a cinematic experience. That’s why the disclaimer at the beginning saying this is based on a true story. Every found footage movie seems try to pawn it off like this is real and this is the real footage.
Look, we never set out to say that this movie is true or that it happened and it’s this found footage. How did you decide when to add sound for effect? Some of the sound and the music certainly is added later, a lot of the low rumbling sound when they’re in the hotel room. That was always important to me to show them in the best possible light because it’s something I grew up doing and that’s something that had to stay true. They’re never shown to be truly what they are. They’re always made out to be the idiots or the rednecks or whatever. Part of my thing was hunters in movies are always made out to be douchebags. The fact that he wants to make a TV show and that he’s so passionate about hunting is really endearing. So that just made more sense to me than some douchebag with a camera. Their job was to shoot the story no matter what the story is. I looked into a lot of guys, like these guys that were embedded in war zones. Josh Stewart: No, when I thought about the character Stevie, I wanted to be able to use good camera equipment and I wanted to be able to have some good cinematography where it fits and where it seems necessary.
Did you think about how different that was? The Hunted is the first found footage movie I’ve seen with no douchebags. CraveOnline: I’ve noticed that douchebags are the heroes of found footage movies because only a douchebag would keep filming.
