WWMD - What Would Marty Do?

A question that some filmmakers ask themselves when they want to achieve an unvconventional shot or angle in their film.

Ron Howard and his crew asked this question constantly when filmming Apollo 13.

"Marty" refers to Martin Scorsese, director of Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and Taxi Driver. Many consider him to be one of the greatest living directors. One of the things he is known for is his innovative camera angles and movements.

Bill: "Jerry, I want to try something cool with this next shot, any ideas?"
Jerry: I don't know, WWMD?
