Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The film scholar David Bordwell points out the similarity of the style he called run-and-gun with the late works of director Tony Scott , cf. David Bordwell: Unsteadicam chronicles
  2. ↑ Rouse on this in an interview for Film & Video : I've had people say to me, "Gosh, I watched your film from the third row of the theater, and I was getting physically ill." Fair enough. Personally, I wouldn't watch any film from the third row of a theater. ( People have said to me, “Help, I was in the third row of your film and I felt sick.” Well, I wouldn't watch a film from the third row myself. )
