Or, that's what artist and film enthusiast, Brandon Van Meter thinks. He has created what he calls a Defining Shot Collection of ink on paper art where he analyzes a movie, breaks it down scene for scene, then finds one still frame that he believes defines that movie. Each episode, Brandon and his best friend, Travis, break down a single frame from some of the most epic movies ever made and they discuss what makes this the defining shot. If you love movies, cinematography, storytelling, and artistic interpretation, Defining Shots is where film appreciation meets visual art. You will hear the story behind the ink drawings in Brandon's Defining Shots collection, discover what inspired each piece, and maybe even start seeing your favorite movies in a whole new way. Every frame tells a story, but only one is a Defining Shot.https://defining-shots.captivate.fmfalseepisodicnopodcastEpisode 1: Alice in Wonderland (1951)Episode 1: Alice in Wonderland (1951)In the very first episode of Defining Shots, Brandon and Travis explore the 1951 animated Disney classic Alice in Wonderland.
