Documentary: What is Bayhem?



Many movie-goers hate his work with a fiery passion.  Others defend it, claiming that it carries on an age-old tradition of good old-fashioned blockbuster b-movie fun.  Love him or hate him, director Michael Bay is here to stay.  Even James Cameron has admitted that he has “studied [Bay's] films and reverse-engineered his shooting style."

"What Is Bayhem?" is a fan-made documentary that examines the filmmaking style of Bay, comparing Bay's unique style to shots in other movies, both good and bad.  Whether you love or hate him, it’s an interesting exploration of some of the director’s favorite techniques.
"There are filmmakers we love and then there’s Michael Bay. Even if you dislike him (as I do), Bay has something valuable to teach us about visual perception. This is an exploration of “Bayhem” — his style of camera movement, composition and editing that creates something overblown, dynamic and distinct."
