    Holy hell. In a minute, he's taught me more about filmmaking than a year in film class.

    This is a filmmaker that all filmmakers wish they were.

    Has anyone any idea what this was filmed on because toward the end the footage is very vivid and smooth I would like to film with this stock. Any help appreciated.

    His first example conjures in my mind the opening sequence in Die Hard 3 (various shots of NYC, with a cool song making audiences bob their heads, and then--BOOM!!!)...or the "Alec Kerim Bey...?" sequence in From Russia With Love (Kerim Bey with his beautiful girlfriend...starts to get sexy, and then--BOOM!!!).
