The Arc often ponders the big questions and they don't come any bigger than "what sort of cinematography does ex Collingwood skipper come wordsmith Tony Shaw enjoy?" Thanks to some insight provided in todays Saints v North clash the answer has been revealed.
As vision of a kick in was rendered via a fixed behind the goals camera looking directly down the ground, Shaw commented "Oh what magnificent camera work".
One can only deduce the vertically challenged D Fens haircut enthusiast cares not for the showy mobile lensing favoured by your Scorseses and DePalmas. Nor would he appreciate the kinetic high energy editing synonymous with Guy Ritchie or Tony Scott.
Nope the Arc is convinced Tony Shaw is much more an appreciator of the clinical, static framing of Austrian Michael Haneke or the unobtrusive indie stylings of Gus Van Sant. Perhaps in lighter moments he'd favour the uncomplicated approach of a Kevin Smith joint, happy to let the script and performances sell the film rather than overt intrusion from the director.
Thank fuck that's settled.
