How much value do you put into visual direction?

None. I'm a White Foxfag.

Yet another thread of cinegrids.
What is the point of these threads? A still image out of context tells us nothing about the quality of direction, the focus of the image could be completely inappropriate, the shot could last too long, the feeling the scene is trying to create is lost, the shot could move in some way that changes the way we should interpret it, the way it flows between shots could affect things. Still images out of context tell us very little about direction. It is like trying to convey the quality of animation through still images. At best all you can say is that they have used a wide range of varied shot types and creatively layered the shots by using different objects to obstruct the camera from an image like yours, you can't tell if those are good shots to be used in the scenes they are being used in at all without context. Without context it is all pretty much meaningless in terms of being good or bad direction.

buzzwords buzzwords buzzwords

None. I listen to anime but I don't watcht it.

>>149049442
Nice buzzwords by the way.

>>149049442
Holy shit I am actually copypasta.

>>149049407
What are you trying to imply? this post is stupid.

Which ones are the buzzwords?

Nice pasta

>>149049920
The point it makes is correct and valid as a criticism of these cinegrids though.

>>149049351
how about phrasing the OP differently next time

>>149049442
They're made to show off cinematography, not direction overall. That's why they're called cinegrids.

>>149050398
The same point hold true still. Independent of context all you can really say about them is wether the shots are well composed and interesting.

>>149049442
Someone clearly hasn't seen the masterpiece known as Re:Zero

>>149050109
Opinion.

we've managed to make this many posts and all we've done is whine at each other

>>149050627
That's all you really need to say about them. The grids aren't meant to convey anything narratively, they can't. They're just meant to show off shots which are aesthetically pleasing or interesting to the creator of the grid.

>>149051440
Yeah thats it. You can't really judge if direction or cinematography is good without the context it is being used in. You can say the art looks nice, the shots are aesthetically pleasing and interesting. Which makes posting them in a thread about "visual direction" almost entirely worthless. Not that I am unaware that these threads have now become some kind of ironic joke through repetition but I think some people are genuinely under the impression they can demonstrate "good direction" with a 9 image cinegrid. It's that whole "community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company" kind of thing.

Visual direction, kino and sakuga are all very important. That's why KyoAni is the best anime studio.

All those shots are either too bright or too dark. Why is this retarded notion that using lighting to obscure your work makes it look better so popular? Single most annoying thing about the Monogatari series.

Oh wow, look at middle left. Not even trying to hide it. Did they really think it's not noticeable? It's not like pic related isn't an extremely common image. At least, the original CG is.

I love the coloring in akuma no riddles, I hope I'm not alone.

>>149049351
Very little, otherwise I wouldn't be watching anime

Pretty images can't save a shit story.
A good story can save shitty images.

Stop posting the same cancerous shit thread every fucking day you fucking attention whoring autist. Please kill yourself. Re:Zero is shit btw. Just let it die already.

The ending scrawl when Subaru gets his head cut off is pure fucking kino
