For Cruel and Unusual Films, “cutting edge” is a term that is overused in filmmaking. Rather, Cruel and Unusual Films aims to continually redefine itself through inventive photography, content, design, editing and visual style. Their film, “300,” for example, is a true re-definition of the genre – utilizing the aforementioned elements to create a film that is spectacularly different from what audiences traditionally recognize as a historical epic. It is a modern interpretation, using the constructs of the modern graphic novel as its backbone. 


This website is the company that snyder works for. This shows that Snyder looks to make his films visually beautifull which helps with my final point to Snyders work.


As a trained artist, Snyder takes the time to personally storyboard each scene in his commercials and films himself – a practice that emphasizes his total immersion in the creative process. 


This quote from the same website shows the process snyder goes through when he is planning each scene in a film.
