Every Frame a Painting — Season 1, Episode 7: Michael Bay - What is Bayhem?

Episode synopsis

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.
