Alex Garland Picks a Favorite Shot From Each of His Most Iconic Movies | My Best Shots

Love how much he name drops production staff and their contributions.

For some reason, the director's fav shots is never what we would think. It's usually what the audience doesn't notice.

Devs is really underrated. That show stuck with me for weeks after.

So, this video confirms that he did direct 'Dredd' (2012)

A good director is good at directing. A GREAT director surrounds himself with people who are good at their job, and includes them in the creative process. And an even greater director acknowledges their invaluabe contributions to the final product. Love this.

Kudos to the set designer for coming up with the bathtub idea in Dredd, because it was a brilliant way to show how Ma-ma found a way to be opulent in the slums. There was very little to be had in the way of creature comforts in a rundown tower block, but a place to sit and enjoy a bath without a care in the world shows just how powerful Ma-ma is.

The flight path of the helicopter in Ex Machina is a Fibonacci spiral.

Dredd is so underrated. Excellent comicbook adaptation.

I love the way Alex Garland's work always has a serenity and beauty with a menace lurking just underneath all of it. Excited to see Civil War.

What a generous director to his crew Alex Garland is. Brilliant. Just like his movies.

the shot of Wagner in Civil War is also my favorite. it’s so powerful!

So cool you have him on! I admire Ex Machina like few other films! To me it is perfection in every aspect. Never ever have I seen a film before or since that deals with the question of consciousness and humanness in such a profound and philosophical way and the filed of movies that deal with these topics is fortunaly vast and I've seen many of them, which shall just emphasize my compliment! 🙂 It was Ex Machina on which I wrote my first ever paper in Universitiy here in Germany, that's how far my passion for this film reaches <3

Silence is well used in Civil War and that scene with Joel is powerful.

Wild he chose the helicopter scene for ex machina. The red outline of ava, the reverse shadow of ava to close the movie, Caleb and Nathan by the waterfall, that whole movie is beautiful

Such a big fan of his. Really looking forward to Civil War and hope the rumors of him leaving directing aren’t true…

I love Annihilation, Sonoya Mizuno really sold that creature that imitates Natalie Portman's character. For me it's a great modern sci-fi horror with classic cosmic horror elements. Some of the visuals are burned in my mind for ever.

Dredd and Ex Machina were both epic.

Love this series

I’d love to hear him talk about Sunshine

When I saw that shot in Civil War it instantly became one of my favorites. Glad he mentioned it
