Why shooting Army of the Dead was 'most satisfying experience'

In a recent conversation with I Minutemen, via Comicbook, Zack Snyder recalled that when he made TV commercials, he was the director and cameraman. For 12 years, and “pretty much” not every job but most of the jobs, he shot things by himself. He stated that he just “really enjoy” it. The filmmaker mentioned that the bigger the movies got, the further away he went from the camera. He noted that there is more infrastructure between him and the sort of cinematic experience while working on larger films. One does not touch the camera world as closely, he claimed.

So, Zack Snyder asserted that he just felt with Army of the Dead that it was a “great opportunity” for him to get really close to the photography and to the actors. He mentioned that people ask him questions on how he can shoot the movie and direct it at the same time. The filmmaker replied that it is “incredibly easy” because the actors are right there, and conversation is easy. He said that the pace is easy because he can just work that way with the crew, and it is just “really nice” for him.
