Slow-motion

[(Anonymous)]

Do you like it? Hate it? Like it only in certain kinds of situation? If so, which situations and do you have any particular examples?

Re: Slow-motion

[kaijinscendre]

I don't care for it in video games. Don't mind it in movies if it enhances the scene. And I love watching random stuff in slow motion )by two cute brits).

...you beat me to it. I love that channel and it's the first thing that came to mind when I read this post haha

In Bay Watch it rocked. In virtually every other show, it stinks. Especially when they are doing a Matrix ripoff. It wasn't even that great in The Matrix.

Like it only in certain things. Use it in stupid moments and I'll just laugh at you.

Re: Slow-motion

[intrigueing]

I sometimes like it when it's about something passively happening in slo-mo, like an explosion or a crash or a fall or a structural collapse or something. But I don't like it when it's someone actively doing something in slo-mo. It just feels fake to me (unless it's intended to demonstrate what someone's perspective looks like when their perception of their surroundings has gone a bit wonky, sometimes).

Re: Slow-motion

[inkdust]

It really just has to fit. Like if it's being used for dramatic effect in a movie, the movie had better successfully ramp things up to that level of tension, so that I'm caught up in that instead of being able to notice "oh hey...they thought slow motion would be more dramatic here." I think the most optimal use is when showing something in slow motion actually makes sense for what's happening, like multiple things happening at once - the most effective example of that that comes to mind is the fall in Inception.

Re: Slow-motion

I hate it. Hate it so much. If there is so much going on that I can only catch it all in slow-motion, then there is too much going on.

Re: Slow-motion

[elaminator]

Depends on the situation; sometimes it looks silly and takes me out of the moment, sometimes it makes a certain kind of sense. As for examples...TW did a bit of slow motion with Stiles, when he had an anxiety attack. I thought that was appropriate. However, in action movies or video games...it's often just there to look cool and there's not much reason for it.

I DID like it in Max Payne (the original and the sequel), but then again I just really liked Max Payne in general. LOL. And IIRC that was the first game that included it, or at least included it to that extent, so it was new and relativity unexplored in video games back then.

Re: Slow-motion

Can be effective, but is vastly overused. Especially some tv series' are terrible at properly using it. If Spartacus cut back on its slow motion overuse, each episode would be about 20 minutes shorter.

Re: Slow-motion

[elaminator]

LOL. It was pretty damn ridiculous in Spartacus, but all the same I cut that show a lot of slack because it was damn fun. (As fun as a show full of violent, horrible character death, rape and murder can be, anyway...)

Re: Slow-motion

[(Anonymous)]

I think it can be effect when used *right*. Otherwise it's annoying.

Re: Slow-motion

[otakugal15]

Depends. Most of the time it's kind of unnecessary, but take Legend of the Guardians, those little slow mo scenes were rather neat to me. And in Dredd? The slow-motion made SENSE.
