Guillermo del Toro: “Be very angry about how the world is being fucked, how your craft is being pulled away from you, how people are trying to move you away from the arts and tell you they’re not important. Be angry that things are being controlled by socially barely functional people that have a lot of money. Be angry about something. Be enraged about something” (Video: anakinspadawan / TikTok)

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

In 1972, Alfred Hitchcock's "oner" leaves the murder to our imagination as the camera follows, then creepily retreats on a studio set. At the end, a hidden cut reveals the real location in London. Did he use a crane, jib or overhead track inside?

🎥RAIDERS SHOT DESIGN🎥
Spielberg turns a cramped living room into 96 seconds of continuous cinematic choreography. A single moving shot gives Indy and Brody close-ups, wide shots, movement, exposition and visual variety without a single cut. Super elegant visual storytelling.

In 1995, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola helped restore and re-release I Am Cuba (1964).
Considered a masterpiece, this continuous shot shows why.

THE PARALLAX VIEW
Legendary cinematographer Gordon Willis makes isolation visible. People are swallowed up by space, reduced to fragments inside systems too large to fight. A visual masterclass in framing and composition.

RONIN (1998) - Director John Frankenheimer explains where he learned this sneaky in-camera film editing trick, which he used to merge a real Paris location with the bar set he had built on a studio stage.

Director Robert Altman breaks down how he crafted an 8-minute "oner" with no cuts to start THE PLAYER (1992). They filmed 15 takes using 11 microphones to nail the choreography and blocking in this shot. The dialog was completely improvised.
