The Big Picture

  • Zack Snyder explains that his use of slow motion in films is intuitive and not something he adds in post-production just for the sake of it.
  • In the past, Snyder used creative techniques like having actors act slower and using CGI to create the appearance of slow motion when they couldn't get the desired cameras.
  • Snyder's strategy for uncertain scenes is to shoot them in slow motion anyway and decide later whether to keep it or revert to 24 frames-per-second. He prefers to be safe and not have to slow down footage shot at 24 frames.
