Happy Sunday Creative Army!

I've got my coffee in hand and your weekly dose of content coming in hot - grab your coffee of choice and let's dive right in.

First up, our friends over at StudioBinder have a great video about how Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, and Christopher Nolan direct the power dynamics featured in interrogation scenes. This video breaks down three types of interrogation scenes: transferring power, balancing power, and subverting power. You will see this illustrated with examples from Reservoir Dogs, The Dark Knight, Inglorious Bastards, and, many more. 

Next up, director of photography Griffin Conway shares an amazing video about how to shoot a commercial. Specifically, this video takes you behind the scenes of a real broadcast television commercial Griffin shot for Fightcamp. Griffin takes you through his full process as a commercial DP from concept, pre-production, to on-set production.
