Hitchcock -

SO, I guess I need a caption for the clapper that he's holding. Any suggestions?

  2. Incredible, Jody!
    You should send this to Alfred Hitchcock Magazine, along with some of your color work. I bet you could get a cover gig!

    Oh, and the slate should just say "You're welcome." for all the influence he has had on cinema.

  3. Thank you both! HAHAH Aww, you're kind to say, Amanda, really. I do think what Tim had to say would be great though. He was an incredible director and never got ONE academy nod for it.

    1. Aside from being a cinematic genius, Hitch was also a marketing machine! He had his films, his TV show, and his magazine (still in publication). No one besides Walt Disney had that kind of personal brand recognition. Speilberg & Lucas learned more from him than filmmaking!

    2. So true, Tim. Ever see that Birds trailer? They don't make 'em like that anymore.

      And that bit he pulled with Psycho - no one allowed in after it starts or some such? Brilliant! More here: http://www.paleycenter.org/hitchcock-master-branding/

    4. Hey Paul, Yeah I saw that trailer before. Brilliant. Did you see the trailer he did for Psycho? He walked around the set and hinted at the horror to come.
      I love the way he found to shoot a film very low budget and used that as a marketing gimmick - Like "Lifeboat" . Shot entirely on a single set, you gotta see this! Or "Rope" - shot in a single take (essentially) - See it!!
