WRITTEN COMPONENT ENTRY Impact of 300 – Stylised VFX notes.
The filmmakers of 300 voided the convention of being very conservative with their camera work when they are unsure of their environments and compositions. They used every camera move that they could think of in order to recreate the graphic novel in a faithful way with the knowledge that they would compose their shots later on.
The style of the film became a hybrid; not photoreal, not cartoon and not completely CG. The style may be appropriate for some mediums and subject matter, but it will most definitely not work for all films.
Chris Watts (VFX Supervisor) believes that a successful stylised movie has to have flaws and variations in style or it can get novel but boring. For instance, he purposefully allowed each battle to have its own unique characteristics.
Other professionals agree that a film shot the same way seeking a more realistic look would be more expensive.
It’s not easy to create a stylised film, the challenge lies in creating the work in an attractive style, and depending on the style – it may ignore real world effects such as lighting.
