Video: “The Seamless Look of Birdman”

Birdman is a fantastic movie for multiple reasons, one of them being a central narrative conceit: Make the story look like it is one continuous shot. Variety’s Tim Gray interviewed digital colorist Steve Scott to explain how they did it:

It’s an amazing piece of artistry, but that’s only part of the brilliance of Birdman, a story that manages to be a comedy, drama, satire, and fantasy, all at once… and work. The writing is great, the acting superior. You should definitely Declare Your Independence and go see this movie in theaters NOW!
