澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Army of the Dead is a looker. It 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:may be blurry in places, but there’s no denying that each scene is imbued with a dreamlike qual𝄹ity that makes i♐t stand out from other blockbusters.

But there’s also no denying that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s unique method of filming with rare decades-old🎀 equipment was a risk – and the director has admitted the movie is "way more in focus" than he was expecting🔥.

In the Netflix documentary short C🌌reating an Army of the Dead, the director gives some insight into his filming⛦ process. "We shot the entire movie without putting a stop on any of the lenses," Snyder explained.

In layman’s terms, a ‘stop🍬’ is a piece of a equipment designed to help limit how much light – natural or otherwise – is being shown through a camera lens. It can also create a shallower depth of field if you’re not using one, hence the blurry effect that permeates the entire movie. That, when coupled with the Canon dream lenses that Snyder bought off eBay, means there is an out-of-focus, but no less deliberate, look to the film.

The finished product may be imperfect to some, but Snyder was pleasantly surprised. "The movie’s way more in focus than🔯 I thought it’d be," he said.

Even those in front of the camera were in favor of the stylistic shift. Dave Bautista, who plays Scott W𝔍ard in Army of the Dead, said, "I saw some of the camera tests, and I was automatically just visually captivated."

Snyder may have 🥀been taking a serious chance with more archaic methods of filming Army of the Dead, but he’s clearly happy with the ou🌸tcome.
