Hey Roger
I noticed in NCFOM that there is a fair amount of camera movement and I wonder if that was explicitly expressed in talks with the Coen’s when you were in pre-production, or was that coming more from you? It also seems like the camera sometimes appears to be in the POV of a character, and yet some times it’s very subtle and pushing in on characters who are sitting and having a conversation in the diner (Ed Tom and Wendell).
In any case, I appreciate these and really only noticed it till now when I sit back to
“study” this film.

That’s interesting as I have always thought of NCFOM as being quite classic and having less camera movement than many of the Coen’s other films. I remember we did fewer slow tracking shots than usual as it felt the script called for a minimal approach.
I think what i’m trying to say that it isn’t for the sake of moving the camera. The movements were deliberate and considered.
My question was more pointed to how much the Coen’s may influence movement for a shot. I imagine it’s collaborative at the end of the day but are there times where you think a movement just makes more sense when they may want it static–And visa-versa?
