I notice that the »being» there are dark on the Internetside - about this, in fact, produced by Bekmambetov horror »Remove from friends», where virtual characters antics lead to big problems in their real life. »Yes, but people spread in a network of millions of videos a day for free, not because they want to get something in return - they dream to achieve love of others, and to share it. In general, the desire to share, and to forgive to the Internet very organic! It is clear that there is a lot of manipulation, but destructive ideas quickly go out on the network, and cooperation and mutual assistance live a very long time - see how emotional, how readily people will respond to the request to help find a dog! I therefore believe that the bright society of which we dream and dreamed of our parents, will be built on the Internet. »
It is obvious that the Internet as a medium attractsthe director not only in terms of social laws, but also in a more pragmatic sense - as a source of technical and visual ideas. Action already mentioned »Remove from friends» takes place entirely on a computer, the recent militant Ilya Nayshullera »Hardcore» screen uses a first-person view, so familiar to users of YouTube accounts with GoPro cameras and video recorders.
Surprisingly, this approach has found a place in the»Ben-Hur.» »Unlike traditional frames perfectly arranged epics like» Exodus »,» Troy »and» Gladiator », this film is fundamentally different, - says the director. - It is completely based on the reference from YouTube! Footage chase, horse racing in the circus scene in the galley, where our hero was in bondage - their archetypes we found on the internet. Viewed thematically related videos: race cars, motorcycles, road accidents - and their rhythmic basis of storyboards created for racing chariots. »
Amazingly, quite a modern Hollywoodcool relates to visual experiments on its territory. Especially when it comes to big-budget epic productions. Especially such important for America, as »Ben Hur.» What helped to drag it all through the conservative studio system, with its centuries-old traditions of production? Timur laughs. »It was very hard. And I'm still not sure that we have succeeded one hundred percent. Similarly, the battle was won, but with heavy losses. The main thing was - to find the right people. Our cameraman, Oliver Wood, filmed the entire series Bourne with its famous hand-held camera. Then editor Dody Dorn, a woman who has installed »Rage» with Brad Pitt. I invited her because I knew she would understand mobile technologies inspired by the style. »
Bekmambetov with his desire always and in everythingBe modern in Hollywood at the right time. »Film business will change very soon - literally in the next five years. I recently read that new types of distribution - streaming, internet broadcasting, cable channels - already now bring more money than box office in cinemas. So, to sell an American film, for example, in? Russia, you no longer need to have a studio behind you, which has connections with the international distribution network. You can sell movies directly: from home theaters to real ones. First of all, this will lead to the fact that the current terrible dependence on the advertising budget will disappear - now, in order to release the film, you need to spend as much money on advertising as on production. And in the second - it will open the way for young talents. And then the new era of cinema will begin. »
