As a seasoned movie enthusiast who’s seen more films than I can count on my fingers and toes, I must say that David F. Sandberg’s video essay on the production hurdles of Shazam! was an absolute treat. It’s like peeking behind the curtain at the Wizard of Oz’s workshop, only instead of flying monkeys, we get to see how they turned a bunch of production members into mall customers and janitorial staff!
What’s the approach to overcoming challenges in movie production? It’s an interesting question with numerous possibilities. Essentially, every cinematic project encounters distinct obstacles for each frame that eventually make it to the screen. Director David F. Sandberg sheds light on these hurdles in a fascinating video essay about the production process of the 2019 film Shazam! (now available for streaming on Peacock).
The director of the movie “Lights Out” shares two instances from his critically acclaimed comic book adaptation to address queries such as:
Director David F. Sandberg Uses Shazam! to Teach a Lesson in Filmmaking
In this scene featuring Shazam (Zachary Levi) fleeing from Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong), some unintended production team members accidentally appeared in the backdrop during the mall sequence. This oversight was detected too late, during post-production, necessitating a quick solution. The VFX team creatively covered them up by adding bags and a mop, thus transforming the casual onlookers into shoppers and cleaning staff.
As a dedicated gamer diving into Shattered Realms, I can’t help but draw parallels to the Cinema Sins-esque critique of Shazam! Here’s where things got a bit tricky for our protagonist, Billy Batson, in Act III. You might not have noticed it at first glance, but behind that seemingly smooth scene where Billy runs away from his foster home, there were some significant hurdles. These challenges stemmed primarily from two key factors: the peculiarities of the actors’ costumes and the temporary absence of Faithe Herman, our beloved Darla, who was busy working on another project at that time.
As a long-time fan of comic book adaptations, I have eagerly anticipated the release of Shazam! ever since its announcement. The latest update about the film, focusing on director David F. Sandberg’s insights into the cost and creation process behind the super-suit worn by Adam Brody, has piqued my curiosity even more.
As a gamer immersed in the storyline, I’ve often found myself cornered into making decisions not out of desire, but due to circumstances. It reminds me of Sivana’s kidnapping and the shark in Jaws – both seemingly driven by necessity rather than intention. The plot twists and turns could be compared to those unforeseen obstacles in a game, pushing us players to take paths we wouldn’t normally choose, sometimes defying logic for the sake of progression. It’s fascinating how these unexpected events ultimately come together to create the final story.
In every scene, you’ll encounter a challenge to tackle, Sandberg notes. However, that’s what makes it exciting! And when you manage to find a solution that improves things significantly, it’s thrilling. Working in movies has made me somewhat jaded about video essays and film analysis because sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between intentional planning and solutions born out of necessity due to problems that needed addressing on the spot.
