Missed a lot of wonderful dancing because of bad directing
Viewed this production of The Nutcracker as a Fathom Event at the local movie theater. I was very excited to watch the production until the camera work started getting weird.
Why would a director shoot a dancer from the waist up? Why would he do close ups on people not even dancing? It started with the dolls at the Christmas Eve celebration and just got worse. My absolutely favorite variation is The Snowflakes, but it was an out of focus mess. The two featured dancers may have been really nice dancers. Who knows? All I saw were blurry corps de ballet running too close to the camera.
If you don't mind missing fantastic dancing because of bad camera work, than you will like this.
Film director shoud go to jail
A wonderful dance performance, but film director ruin it, constanly moving cameras in and out, cuting dancer's legs off, it is a "CRIME"! A film director with NO COMMON SENSE...even unprofessional people know, dancing is about feets, legs, whether they are in contact with floor or in the air, not "zum in" about faces. Please, Please, Please choose a better filming
director for ballets! Just compare to the recently released Nutcracker from Bolshoi, this film
director has a lot to "learn" from "The Art of Filming Ballet". What a pity.....a great performnace ruin by an incompetent film director!
The Nutcracker [Blu-ray] - Mariinsky Ballet
why does a cameraman want to dance with dancers? Can he dance as good as dancers? The worst ballet shot ever seen.
