Why Hollywood Will Never Look the Same Again on Film: LEDs Hit the Streets of LA & NY
After Michael Mann set out to direct Collateral, the story’s setting moved from New York to Los Angeles. This decision was in part motivated by the unique visual presence of the city — especially the way it looked at night. Mann shot a majority of the film in HD (this was 2004), feeling the format better captured the city’s night lighting. Even the film’s protagonist taxi needed a custom coat to pick up different sheens depending on the type of artificial lighting the cab passed beneath. That city, at least as it appears in Collateral and countless other films, will never be the same again. L.A. has made a vast change-over to LED street lights, with New York City not far behind. Read on for why Hollywood will never look the same again — on film or otherwise.
THE FINAL IMAGE OF
NEPOTISMJADEN SMITH?Young actor Jaden Smith ends up in the final image of all four of his feature films. I winced at posting about Jaden’s work, but after consideration, it’s apparent he’s put out some excellent performances to only be 15. It’s a mystery how he got such high-profile gigs right out the gate while other teen actors kill for a Sunny-D commercial. But there’s no denying Jaden’s talent. After Earth’s belly flop last summer was unfortunate, undeserved, and obviously Sad Face’s — not Jaden’s or King Will’s. But has nepotism taken a backlash? Jaden has nothing new, coming soon, or in the works, according to IMdB (and neither does Hairwhip). Someone please get
