We should have some slow motion scenes in TIH.

[November Rain]

You mean very mid eighties.

Like you say w/ Hulk films, its about high energy and pacing.
So no slo mo.

well they normally don't use slow motion shots at the speed normally shot in the 80s anymore...

i remember scenes from the bionic woman and six million dollar man franchise which took forever to play out (epsecially that episode, the 7 million dollar man) that last for a last time.

I know it's wrong to assume but i'm guessing the thread starter is looking for scene similar to those seen in perhaps the matrix, more bullet-time based shots,it's usually what people mean when they refer to slow mo these days.

but as always, i could be wrong. That's why i said early 2000 because that effect really took off then.

Ditch the rotating camera/matrix thing though.

I like the idea of a thunderclap's effects being shown, but would rather see the effect of a punch from the Hulk which is then sped up when it connects.

Example of what I'm talking about:

Remember complaints from the first film, the end battle (and to a lesser degree the dog fight) were too hard to follow. Either they were too dark, too quick, etc.

I'm not saying the whole fight/film should be slow, but it'll give it more gravity when it does happen.

Look at Batman Begins.. people complained that the action was too hard to follow (defenders claimed it was to show Batman's speed and the chaos, when the director isn't really known for that kind of shot)

Audiences should be able to absorb just how powerful and devastating his attacks are.. one such way to do that is sparringly using slow motion..

well said.
