Poor Lighting Was Unavoidable


Please stop complaining about the lighting. If you've ever been involved in film making you would understand that it would have been impossible to achieve what they did AND have professional-grade lighting. You realize that when you're watching a movie, every single shot was meticulously and professionally lit?

Exactly. Even if this was filmed in advance there's only a couple parts that I actually thought the lighting was bad enough to be a problem. The sound was worse than the lighting though, but even that was alright for being live. I'm not even that great with sound on set and I have no idea how they did it. Overall it was a great movie and very inspiring as a filmmaker

It didn't help they had to film it at 2 am. At least it wasn't raining. I thought the sound was OK, exception being the final scene when some Godawful noise was drowning out the touching dialogue between Woody and wife.

The thing is, it is unavoidable at the moment. But now that this experiment worked and the only major problem was not enough natural light to work with for a constantly moving live production on location, it's time for inventors to start inventing. No point in telling people to stop complaining. It's a legitimate flaw of the production and it's important to recognize so that if someone attempts something like this again, they'll take it into account
