An absolute genius

Lars is the biggest troll my god haha

Lars is an Oulipian director

I wonder if this is an elaborate hoax that helps to point to how technical conventions around proper framing shape cinema. Here we see a director unafraid of shaking up framing conventions to explore how dominant conventions shape the cinema text giving the view a stable static way of looking. Elsewhere with augmented reality film making we see actors replaced by avatars, etc., here we see a parody: the automation and replacement of the camera operator. Given this director's Dogme 95 Vows of Chastity for film making this approach seems entirely consistent with shaking the ho hum conventions that shape the industrial production of mainstream cinema.

@1:24 that box under the screen... (Y)

okay... seems to me a little bit stupid to let the computer to decide what to shoot, instead of deciding it yourself.

he did decide, he decided to shoot with random framings.. and humans cant do random.

That’s the idea

The older I get, the more I care about story than I do about camera gimmicks.

When used correctly though they add to the story and aren't gimmicks anymore though. Think of shots in the shining like danny riding the big wheel and the tracking shot behind him, its pretty to look at but it has purpose, it gives you a tour of the hotel, it gives you a low camera angle showing how danny sees the hotel and it appears even more massive and imposing, it disorients the viewer because you never know quite where all the rooms line up. If that shot had just been a few fixed cameras showing riding around it wouldn't have any impact.
