First Movie Shot by Chimps Lacks Visual Style, Depth, and Ability to Work a Camera
BBC America let chimps film their own documentary. But chimps should stick to chimp things, like picking lice off each other and hurling feces at unsuspecting onlookers. Because the footage they shot, honestly, is amateur at best.
In this preview clip, BBC America took what was probably the most usable minute of footage and slapped it into their preview. And in exactly zero of these shots did the chimps think to use a tripod, focus the lens, or even take some quick establishing shots. Instead it just looks like a Michael Bay movie.
