Ep 308: “Heat” (1995)


Listen Later

We take 30 seconds with Michael Mann’s “Heat” and discuss:

  • Cinematography, dolly moves, unmotivated lighting;
  • Sound, shootout realism, sound design, Moby music;
  • Story & Writing, good guys and bad guys, runtime;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.
  • You must learn to be slow in a hurry. – Wyatt Earp

    Notes & References:

    Heat (wiki) – Originally scripted in 1979, and eventually adapted into a TV Pilot that was shot and rejected by NBC, but the pilot aired in  1989 as a TV Movie called “L.A. Takedown”.
    Diner scene from “L.A. Takedown” (YouTube) – this absolutely refutes Mamet’s idea of actors only need to say the lines, haha.
    Sound designer commenting on a YouTube analysis of “Heat” – I did not actually watch any of the analysis, I saw it was 30 minutes and noped out of it, but scrubbed the comments instead
    Moby “God Moving Over the Face of the Waters” (YouTube)
    “Where We Ended” 2015 short film (Vimeo)
    North Hollywood Shootout (wiki)
    North Hollywood Shootout documentary (YouTube)
