: : Rembrandt? I fully understand the need to examine the brush-stroke techinques of famous artists in order to find your own style. It's just that when it comes to film, the accusations that producers/directors have been "stealing" the techniques of other producers/directors is so prevalent today that I'm surprised to hear it's a common practice in film schools or wherever this dude is attending.

A brush-stroke by brush-stroke rendering of a "master" is merely a copy, and is usually labeled as such. Otherwise it's known as a forgery.
Do whatever you want. I just hope you value "find your own style" more than "copy film". Otherwise you are just learning how to create an homage to another director. Yawn.
the Beav, who hopes never to hear the phrase "Tarantino-esque" in a film review again...
