Anyone watch Shazam?

This past weekend I invested the time in the newly released movie, Shazam.  David F. Sandberg is a filmmaker recognized for his unique approach to storytelling in his films.  David was diagnosed at a young age with autism and some believe this way of thinking has led David to a different perspective in how he creates images in his film.  In Shazam, David used practical effects instead of relying solely on CGI.  One example is he used practical suit for Shazam's costume rather than simply using an entirely computer generated image (CGI).  The use of these practical effects adds a senses of realism to the film making the character appear for real and interact more convincingly with his surroundings.  David says he prefers this approach because he can see things in real time and adjust them when needed. 



David is the creator of "Lights Out", a short horror film  He used his signature approach to create tension in the film and scare the viewers with realistic shots.  He was able to bring the monster to life, creating a sense of its physical being and giving a feeling that it was real.  David also used creative angles and editing techniques to create the tension.  If you haven't watched this short film, I suggest to check it out.  It makes the viewer think about how David's mind works and how he uses this realistic and practical approach to film making.
