ONE PERFECT SHOT is Getting a TV Series From HBO Max and Ava DuVernay
One Perfect Shot is a Twitter account that puts the spotlight on the iconic visual moments of cinematography in films and TV shows. That concept is now being turned into a documentary TV series by HBO Max and filmmaker Ava DuVernay, the director of Selma and 13th.
The series will give the directors the visual tools and tech to put them inside a 360 recreation of one of their most memorable shots. Ava DuVernay will executive produce and narrate the show. HBO Max released the following description of the show:
Each episode arms one acclaimed director with an arsenal of visual tools to pull back the curtain on their most iconic shots. Using state of the art technology, the directors will literally enter each shot, walking through the scene in 360 moments that allow viewers to join an immersive exploration of moviemaking. Filmmakers will share their obstacles, challenges, lessons and triumphs as they detail how they created their crowning cinematic achievements. Each helmer will also present one shot from an auteur who deeply influenced them, outlining the inspiration that catalyzed their own imagination.
I love this concept! This is something that any film geek will be able to enjoy. There’s no word yet on which directors or movies will be featured, but it’s said that it will celebrate “the most beloved films of all time,” so I guess we can expect some pretty big directors and films to be involved. DuVernay said in a statement:
“I’ve long wanted to create a series about the art of directing. To chronicle the craft of great filmmakers is a dream come true for me and all of us at ARRAY Filmworks. We’re thrilled that our partners at Warner Horizon Unscripted Television embraced this idea and look forward to fully geeking out over movies with our friends at HBO Max.”
The creator of the Twitter account Neil Miller will also be an executive producer on the series.
