Review: Gregory Crewdson's Photography - Capturing a Movie Frame (2012)


This 30-minute short from The Reserve Channel goes behind the scenes to look at the creation of Crewdson's carefully crafted images.  Most of the work depicted here is the siting, lighting, and decorating of sets.  We see a little of the post-processing work of selecting images for blending, but none of the actual computer work. The film includes interview footage with Crewdson discussing his motivation and interests, as well as some of the processes that go into the creation of his images.  There is unfortunately as well an art critic on hand to reassure us how important Crewdson really is. This is a good introductory film as it doesn't lag nor make any pretense of being an art film about an artist.
