#sorry. the sitmwy reservoir dogs 15.18 triangle is always turning in my head

[tiktaalic]

how do you know speight doesn't know how to direct? (not picking a fight just reading the tshirt)

thank you for the clarification. i know this for two reasons. one:

Success of America 101 launched Speight into the world of commercial directing. He has helmed several spots for Pepsi among other major national brands. Following his success in commercial directing and rigorous preparation in Warner Bros. TV Director's Workshop, Speight made debut as TV show director on Supernatural's season 11 episode "Just My Imagination".

yeah just what i wanted. guy who films pepsi cans to film my television show.

two: i have seen. his episodes. the ones that stick out in memory are stuck in the middle with you and 15.18. sitmwy is a mess on the writing + directive fronts imo and i mean. so is 15.18 jdsfjnfd. but these episodes in particular are really easy to compare and contrast because a) director richard speight jr b) destiel love confession. and they're just so. impersonal on a visual front. idk how to explain it but. okay. diner scene. right?

this scene looks full

this scene looks empty.

another one:

full scene.

empty scene. even though they're the same scene.

even comparing against supernatural itself instead of quentin tarantino, speight's episodes feel so Empty to me because emotionally, they're very intimate, but visually, there's so much space. like.

free to be you and me. an emotionally intimate episode. less so than sitmwy or 15.18, but it Feels closer/more emotional in the visuals. to me this

FEELS like it's shot closer and more emotionally than. this

even tho in the first picture. they're just doing a job/are not touching. and in the second picture. cas has just recovered from certain death and everyone's relieved/they are touching. to circle back to reservoir dogs. the warehouse where everything takes place is completely empty space. there's nothing. there's a chair. there's the characters. and there's the other 85% of the scene that is just open air. but it feels crazy emotional because of the way it's shot.

yes. blood. hands wiping dying forehead. hands covered in blood from holding someone's guts in. close. perseonal. all the shots between orange and white are like this. even when one of them is in the backseat of the car and one in the front. you can still visually see them connected.

this is the singular still i can find where dying cas is in the same frame as someone else. everything else is cut to cas. cut to someone. cut to cas. cut to someone. it's disjointed and lonely looking.

15.18 has been talked to death with how it's shot so distantly they're never in the same frame they're standing 6 feet apart it cuts back and forth and back and forth and their faces never rly get a chance to Breathe and react before there's another cut. but that's not something that's 15.18 specific it's prevalent in a lot of supernatural and it's CERTAINLY present in speight's other eps.
