The reason why I love Zack's work especially comic book, because he gave an epic superhero take with high class visual style. That's not something we can see anywhere these days. My favorite scene of his was the scene from BvS, "Must there be a Superman?" scene. We can see how people refers to Superman as a savior, as a figure of god, but at the same time, we see how conflictive Clark was, how he's being misinterpreted by human being as a god while he's just a kid who's just trying to do the right thing
People complain about his movies then turn around and call trash like end game the way a superhero movie should be made. Endgame as a movie was absolute garbage loaded with nostalgia and fan fare material. The Russo bros were asked to explain how was Captain America able to lift and control Thor’s hammer. Their answer was very simple, we just thought the fans would think it was cool. Zack respects the material and most critics say he respects it too much. You can’t please everybody but to me Zacks and Nolan’s and now also Todd Phillips comic book based superhero movies are the best in the comic book movie genre. Throw Raimi in there as well cuz I loved the first 2 Spider-Man movies.
@@tonysoto8949 Zack made me love and relate to Superman. And MoS is my favourite DCEU movie and BvS,ZSJL is up there too. But I'm a bit biased to MoS because of Zack's true vision of the film. The other two got severly butchered and the ZSJL was made a non canon filmunless we continue to make it the canon verison). His trilogy on Superman introducing justice league made me realize how impactful and relatable these characters can be. I personally had Raimi spiderman as my favourite Superhero also that I was grown up watching him and marvel. But Man of Steel just took that mantle from me and made Superman my favourite character.
Snyder made a short movie (Snow. Steam. Iron.) with an iPhone and it looks every bit gorgeous as his studio films. He employed all these techniques in the short. Just goes to show how he's a master of the craft
Great video. As someone who feels very inspirted by his work, this was very enlightning. Snyder's aesthetic is one of the many reasons I love his movies. Glad to see a video dedicated to his filmmaking style
I'd describe it as visual storytelling within the frame. It's not for everyone, but I personally really like how the shots tell a deeper story than the surface level behind them
In India, a filmmaker called as Prashant Neel made a 2 part movie called KGF chapter 1 and KGF chapter 2. He used same style as Zack Snyder. Same camerawork, same low key lighting. It is a thunderous hit here in India.
Really enjoyed the video. Though the only critique I would give is calling Zack's films 'grim, dark, gritty' is a misunderstanding of his work. Those terms are often use by haters to dismiss him. A better word to describe his films would be Mythic since Zack shows an obsession with mythology, religion, and heroics.
@@StudioBinder At 2:33 it is stated that "His films are often grim and gritty" when speaking about the high contrast in his images. But I must pay you the highest compliments on the video overall. It is not often I see a video on Snyder that gives a great amount of respect to his visual style.
Love him or hate him, I love him. He is one of my all time favorite directors. No one matches his visual style, his ability to tell a story just on visuals alone, is epic. He is an Auteur, meaning his style is authentic to his directing abilities, so we know it's a snyder film even before we know snyder directed it. His visual style feels grand, largely grand, especially his DCEU films. in short, Snyder is the fuckin' truth. It is what it is baby #RestoreTheSynderVerse
Anyone, for the last 10-15 years and may be some more to come, who dare to go outside the Marvel formula, silly jokes, bloodless action etc will be criticized for anything. The future will be kind for Zack when they look back, he will be reevaluated for sure!
@@ryantheanimator1156 logan isnt made by marvel studios and isnt part of mcu so it has more freedom from that formula. disney-marvel would never make a movie like logan because well, disney being disney. at best, it would be made for tv but never theaters.
Thank you guys so much for putting out videos on these great directors! It really helps us when we want to make our short films and videos and is overall just super intresting and fun to watch.
Glad to see a youtube channel about actual filmmaking put respect on Zack Snyder's name. One of my favorite shots is Dr. Manhattan in final form in the cafeteria. After Watchmen I never looked at comic book movies the same.
Great video! Since I watched 300 in cinemas I knew Snyder would be perfect to adapt more graphic novels and then he did Watchmen and I loved it. One of my favourite movies. There are too many amazing shots in his filmography. But I think a shot that really blew me away on how gorgeous it looked was the owls flying through the waves in the rain from The Owls of Ga'Hoole. It's one of the very few movies that I've seen that made sense to watch in 3D.
I almost like every shot he create in his films, because I just love his shooting style. It's hard for me to find someone else who have the same shooting style. God, I love this director so much!
I love that Zack Snyder is finally getting the respect he deserves. He's my favorite director working today that he is so far ahead of his time. When we look back on his career in 20 years people will be saying he completely changed what Comic book movies could be. From 300 to Zack Snyder's Justice League each movie has it's own feel and style. His style is very distinct and his action scenes are some of the most visually striking. The BVS wearhouse scene is the best Batman action scene ever put to film.
@@WL1264for the most part. The big difference between Johnson and Snyder in their IP work is that Snyder did follow and knew the source material whereas Johnson purposefully refused to even know the material
I know it's not the focus of the video, but - holy crap, you guys actually played Richard Cheese's chamber jazz cover of _Down With The Sickness_ at the end. I love this channel for so many reasons.
I love that this channel only take the best part out of the movie and carefully explained it in detail, like seriously I mean that. They really encourage people to take the best and improve upon it whether it's writing, filming or maybe some other stuffs too.
Thank you studio binder for this video. Awesome video as always. I like the style of Zack Snyder. He really inspired me and many other enthusiast filmmaker. We can say he is a perfect ideal for creative and experimental filmmakes.
I really loved his Man of Steel, Batman v Superman Ultimate edition, Snyder Cut. Thank You very much for this Video. In Batman v Superman, every scene is feels connected because of overlapping the dialogue and background sound just before the previous scene ends. That give me feeling of something like experiencing a Poetry something like that. With Beautiful Visuals❤️. Again Thank you very much.
Great catch, I always feel his movies sustain a tremendous sense of rhythm . Its the flow of the movies that I love ! As someone who is very musically minded, I cant help but love what he does !
I agree. For me I really thought the four hour long Zack Snyder's Justice League movie went by a lot faster than many shorter movies I've seen just because of it's visuals.
I love his films. He made remember Superman was my favorite superhero since I was a kid watching Bruce Timm's "Superman-The Animated Series" every afternoon after school with "Man Of Steel", after "Superman Returns" made me learn to hate the character so much I actually forgot that aspect of my childhood. It was a painful 8 years he freed me from. I'll be forever thankful for that. I adore the fact he understands comics so well, down to the emulation of comicbook ink with the lighting mentioned in this essay. #RestoreTheSnyderverse
They listened...they listened to my request to cover Zack Snyder's work...well of many people's request haha....thank you for choosing scenes from Zack Snyder's Justice league and not that abomination they released in 2017...i could watch content on Zack snyder all day... #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
Another thing I love about Snyder is how his filming style really compliments CGI. Because it's more dark and high contrast, CGI blends really well with the scene.
I'm a very big fan of Zack Snyder and some of his films because there's a few of action packed blockbusters like 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, Man of Steel and many others. So yeah I'm liking them a lot.
I didn't realize I had seen Soo much Zach Snyder until I watched this. I didn't see any batman, Superman, justice league, or DC work. However I don't think any batman has ever come close to the Dark Knight or the Superman cartoon of the same era. I guess I am a fan, and now I know why
Zack Snyder's fan base is massive, they're loyal and following him everywhere he goes. his dark tone visual and slowmo style is masterpiece, it's create drmatic scenes. i love all of his works and continue follow his projects and can't wait to see 'Rebel Moon'. Originally he wrote the script for Star Wars, since they rejected, he create his own sci-fi universe on Netflix.
I feel like I finally have the words to explain the film making technique of Snyder that allows him to create the most jaw dropping visuals in the history of comic book films! He's one of the few that seems to understand proper contrast and coloring. Of coarse I gotta knock the competition (the MCU) because their movies are the visually blandest thing going on. A video exploring The Batman's cinematography made a great point that modern blockbusters seem to want the images to be as clean as possible, almost plastic-y in nature. There's no dirtying up the frame. Low key lighting, great contrast, proper coloring, altering depth of focus, changing frame rates in the same shot.....none of these things are employed by MCU film makers. They almost seem to just want to get the necessary shot on camera without wanting to do anything to make it artful, comparitively speaking. Sad to see really, as I'm learning more and more about what can be done to make a shot more artful. I guess if I had to list some of my favorite Snyder shots: 1. Jor El coming out of the tunnel to see Kryptonian ships exploding 2. Superman's double punch on Zod 3. Birds eye view of Bruce driving through destroyed Metropolis while scout ship flies overhead 4. Basically all the shots of the Waynes's deaths 5. Superman saving people montage 6. Superman looking on as Doomsday is about to go off again 7. Superman/Doomsday beam clash that WandaVision later copied 8. Arthur having wave splashing on his face on the dock 9. Victor jumping over opposing player on football field 10. The whole flashback invasion in JL 11. Superman eyeing Barry down at the statue during JL v Superman fight 12. Black suit Superman doing Christ pose in atmosphere with sun in front of him 13. Batmobile turning left and parademon hitting it's side to almost flip it over in slow motion 14. Flash's finale run 15. Barry saving Iris 16. In BvS, Knightmare Batman looking out over land to see Omega symbol, plus whole scene! 17. Aquaman throwing trident at parademon 18. Darkseid, Desaad, and Granny walking down long hallway Along with numerous shots in Watchmen and 300. Now that I know how to put it in words, I wish he wouldn't have gone for such a tight and narrow window for focus depth on Army of the Dead. That's what I didn't like visually about the film. It was almost like what he did on some previous films, but this time on steroids. I commend him for doing something technically difficult, though.
@@21stcenturyhiphop All their films since TFA (being the first one shot digitally) have the same overall look. Stans will say that it's meant to visually connect the films, but why'd they have to look so bland? There is proof that Disney/Marvel know how to make stylistic choices. I was dumbfounded and pleasantly surprised by the cinematic look and the general visuals of Valkyrie's flashback with Hela. It then pissed me off, knowing that they knew how to be creative and have style and only chose to make that one scene look amazing when the whole film should've looked like that! Their indoor shots, especially during conversations are so blandly lit and grayed out, it really does look as Patrick H. Willems called it years ago, "muddy concrete". And it got far worse starting with CW onward. Seeing the evidence of the plot points, camera shots, and entire sequences that the MCU has pulled from previously released DCEU films, I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to copy Snyder's visual style. But, based on what we've gotten, maybe someone ought to make a video titled, "MCU Lighting and Coloring: How to Fail at Snyder's DCEU". lol
@@kevrulz06 Yeah, I pointed out to some folks how the MCU filmmakers have been blantently copying Snyder's superhero films/asthetic, but no one will acknowledge it because of the reputation of the MCU vs. the DCEU films(which are way more interesting, btw). This isn't some hipster stance by me; I've hated the Marvel films since Iron Man 2. Downey Jr. is fantastic, though.
@@21stcenturyhiphop Well, we're in agreement. I 100% know what you mean when you say no one will hear you. I can't tell you how many times I've freely offered people the evidence that DC's movies are far better made than Marvel's and they just reply with, "I don't need to see YOUR evidence". Or, they refuse to see the evidence and write it off because they think a certain way about the source, like Film Gob. It only matters whether the evidence is true or not. But, the reputation of the more beloved franchise is hard to overcome with people.
Great video! Zack's eye for visual compositions and visual story telling is definitely enhanced by and because of his studies in art. The man literally knows how to beautifully shoot and draw his thoughts and ideas in killful detail. Add his raw and metal style and his fascination with mythology and greater-than-life characters/ stories. Zack is incredible. His writing is ambitious and hefty but he does make some controversial choices. I.E: Army of The Dead, the last act is dissapointing in that he services a character and story that is not likeable.
Snyder love to take a risked in every movie he directed. There's an interview asked him about his directing philosophy and he said he give everything he can and refuse to do what others are doing. This is how he create his own identity unlike most of Hollywood director who heavily relied on director of photography
For me the Watchmen-style deconstruction of BvS, plus layering of Joseph Campbell themes, plus his astounding unique visual style was sublime. BvS is my favorite film of all time-and I’ve seen a lot of films of all types over the years, so I don’t say that lightly. Although I guess I would just add that the most important reasons why a film strikes a deep chord are ultimately extremely personal.
Hard to pick one shot from his movies, but the "flight" scene in man of steel. the part where he just walks across the snow and ice with his cape flowing in the wind are both breath taking and beautiful.

Lots of great tips from him!
He's not everybody's cup of tea, but I personally love his films.
true, his films aren't for everyone but you can still learn from it!
Same
Zack Snyder's style is different. not everybody can understand his visual work but after Zack Snyder justice league i love him....
So do I, his cinematography is incredible and the stories he's made with my favorite superheroes are personally perfect.
While he’s not really that good with plots and dialogue, except some rare cases like Watchmen and 300, he’s honestly visually king

Great example that style doesn't come from the equipment
About time this man starts getting the recognition he deserves. Visually one of the very best in the business
He's a special talent for sure
James Cameron is also good
Snyder said it once. Movies are visual and visually tells a story.
And my favorite Zack shot is Superman fighting against the world engine in MoS.
He definitely walks the walk!
My favourite fight scene from man of steel is Superman fought 2 Kryptonian. But the best visual he did in that movie is when Clark fell onto ocean
Great video. As someone who feels very inspirted by his work, this was very enlightning. Snyder's aesthetic is one of the many reasons I love his movies. Glad to see a video dedicated to his filmmaking style
His style is definitely distinct!
As a Cinematographer i love Zack Snyder's lens choice and previsualisation on his Imagery, before every film he works on. Hope to learn more from him.

Snyder's been killing it for awhile
I love seeing respectable, intelligent analysts taking a serious look at the works of people who are otherwise written off. It's great!
Can't write off someone with that much influence
@@StudioBinder Darn right. Great breakdown video
Just because he's got a talent for crafting beautiful images doesn't mean that he's a good director. Good films are not just pretty images
@@lospolloshermanos6800 True, But if you ask me, good films are not just story and writing to be " cared "
That's just an author's vision.
@@lospolloshermanos6800 and I respectfully disagree that he is NOT a good director.
300 is still one of my favorite movies of all time... the speed ramping in that was crazy!
Used to great effect!
The best series is back!!!! Waiting for more like this!! Keep making extraordinary videos
More on the way!
Dawn of the Dead, 300, BVS Ultimate Cut, Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's Justice League, and Watch. Memorable, Extravagant, Irreplaceable.
That Flash scene from ZSJL is probably my favorite scene from ZS
That was a great scene!

Can someone exlain a bit more about "Cruching" from about 3:47 what does "contrast lines where the blocks feather in to the mid range" mean exactly?

They almost seem to just want to get the necessary shot on camera without wanting to do anything to make it artful, comparitively speaking. Sad to see really, as I'm learning more and more about what can be done to make a shot more artful.
I guess if I had to list some of my favorite Snyder shots:
1. Jor El coming out of the tunnel to see Kryptonian ships exploding
2. Superman's double punch on Zod
3. Birds eye view of Bruce driving through destroyed Metropolis while scout ship flies overhead
4. Basically all the shots of the Waynes's deaths
5. Superman saving people montage
6. Superman looking on as Doomsday is about to go off again
7. Superman/Doomsday beam clash that WandaVision later copied
8. Arthur having wave splashing on his face on the dock
9. Victor jumping over opposing player on football field
10. The whole flashback invasion in JL
11. Superman eyeing Barry down at the statue during JL v Superman fight
12. Black suit Superman doing Christ pose in atmosphere with sun in front of him
13. Batmobile turning left and parademon hitting it's side to almost flip it over in slow motion
14. Flash's finale run
15. Barry saving Iris
16. In BvS, Knightmare Batman looking out over land to see Omega symbol, plus whole scene!
17. Aquaman throwing trident at parademon
18. Darkseid, Desaad, and Granny walking down long hallway
Along with numerous shots in Watchmen and 300.
Now that I know how to put it in words, I wish he wouldn't have gone for such a tight and narrow window for focus depth on Army of the Dead. That's what I didn't like visually about the film. It was almost like what he did on some previous films, but this time on steroids. I commend him for doing something technically difficult, though.
I'm sorry, I can't stand any of the filmmaking in the MCU; tv at the movies nonsense.
@@21stcenturyhiphop All their films since TFA (being the first one shot digitally) have the same overall look. Stans will say that it's meant to visually connect the films, but why'd they have to look so bland? There is proof that Disney/Marvel know how to make stylistic choices. I was dumbfounded and pleasantly surprised by the cinematic look and the general visuals of Valkyrie's flashback with Hela. It then pissed me off, knowing that they knew how to be creative and have style and only chose to make that one scene look amazing when the whole film should've looked like that! Their indoor shots, especially during conversations are so blandly lit and grayed out, it really does look as Patrick H. Willems called it years ago, "muddy concrete". And it got far worse starting with CW onward. Seeing the evidence of the plot points, camera shots, and entire sequences that the MCU has pulled from previously released DCEU films, I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to copy Snyder's visual style. But, based on what we've gotten, maybe someone ought to make a video titled, "MCU Lighting and Coloring: How to Fail at Snyder's DCEU". lol
@@kevrulz06 Yeah, I pointed out to some folks how the MCU filmmakers have been blantently copying Snyder's superhero films/asthetic, but no one will acknowledge it because of the reputation of the MCU vs. the DCEU films(which are way more interesting, btw). This isn't some hipster stance by me; I've hated the Marvel films since Iron Man 2. Downey Jr. is fantastic, though.
@@21stcenturyhiphop Well, we're in agreement. I 100% know what you mean when you say no one will hear you. I can't tell you how many times I've freely offered people the evidence that DC's movies are far better made than Marvel's and they just reply with, "I don't need to see YOUR evidence". Or, they refuse to see the evidence and write it off because they think a certain way about the source, like Film Gob. It only matters whether the evidence is true or not. But, the reputation of the more beloved franchise is hard to overcome with people.
Who ever is in charge of the intro music has good taste. Can’t beat Nine Inch Nails.
😉🙏
ZACK SYNDER is my favorite director of all time
👍
The shallow dof sure mixes things up.
Funny how studiobinder beeped the outro.
Have to 🤷♂️
Nicely done! Pretty much all of my fav Snyder shots are in BVS lol
Snyder, Nolan, Cameron, & Spielberg.
My personal Mt. Rushmore of film makers.
I love the way he uses DOF. Love that challenge specially on focusing
My favorite shot is in bvs when batman watches superman after he questioned him can you bleed... You will
Hi

Hat dieser Penner Ren Kühn auch dich gesperrt ?.
Zack Snyder is personally my favorate and the best director I've ever seen, I just can't get enough of his movies, he's something different man
_I only have a handful of directors who’s movie I take time and focus to watch, Zack Snyder is one of them_
He's one of the greatest directors of all time. Also probably the nicest and most humble too. Thanks for putting together this video.
He's one of the best directors working today, Visually. He should do a Masterclass.
That would be interesting!
Great video! Zack's eye for visual compositions and visual story telling is definitely enhanced by and because of his studies in art. The man literally knows how to beautifully shoot and draw his thoughts and ideas in killful detail. Add his raw and metal style and his fascination with mythology and greater-than-life characters/ stories. Zack is incredible.
His writing is ambitious and hefty but he does make some controversial choices. I.E: Army of The Dead, the last act is dissapointing in that he services a character and story that is not likeable.
He's made some great work!
Snyder love to take a risked in every movie he directed. There's an interview asked him about his directing philosophy and he said he give everything he can and refuse to do what others are doing. This is how he create his own identity unlike most of Hollywood director who heavily relied on director of photography
For me the Watchmen-style deconstruction of BvS, plus layering of Joseph Campbell themes, plus his astounding unique visual style was sublime. BvS is my favorite film of all time-and I’ve seen a lot of films of all types over the years, so I don’t say that lightly. Although I guess I would just add that the most important reasons why a film strikes a deep chord are ultimately extremely personal.
My Favorite Director of all time
He definitely has an eye for creating great visuals.
💯👍
I am sure every student in film school can learn something from this master…
his next Rebel Moon is going to be crazy epic
his biggest project is coming hopefully next year
Can't wait!
Brooo you need to make one of these for Michael Bay. Very distinct style.
We might!
"Hey Zack Snyder, it's a 7-minute segment, move it along!" - Yakko Warner
😂
You cannot deny... The man's got style.
We're all hoping that the new CEO David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery, let Zack Snyder to end the Justice League trilogy.
That would be cool!
Stunning visuals
Agreed!
Hard to pick one shot from his movies, but the "flight" scene in man of steel. the part where he just walks across the snow and ice with his cape flowing in the wind are both breath taking and beautiful.
Much waited video 🤩🤩
Hope it was worth it!
We have an Indian director Prashanth neel who copies his style but never gave a single credit to Zack or his movies.
Where can I find the full video from 5:44?
I guess it's on the Army of the Dead's behind the scenes.
Netflix's account!
Zack Snyder is ahead of our time. We don't deserve him. We love you Zack Snyder!!
A master at work.
