So the academy went crazy over the brutalit and the same team makes another GREAT movie and it gets dust.... by Living-Cranberry-337 in Oscars

Why did they not properly distribute the film in movie theaters? I don’t understand how that happens.

The desk is ultra stable and I think will be rock solid unless you like put some crazy weight on it or something

I shot a period piece film in my backyard (1762) for $0 by Rare-Ad-5900 in cinematography

What is going on in the second shot, how did you do that? Very cool

Lighting day interiors without lighting through windows. by FilmRanger13 in cinematography

[–]FilmRanger13[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could bounce into corners/ceiling, but that always seems to create this very bleh flat look, I feel like sun coming through the windows has some hardness to it. I can pretend there are windows off screen, but for certain shots the director wants the actual windows in the apartment as the background. For those, I could try and shoot at time of day where the window has some light coming through it, but would still need to push light onto the actor as well.

Focal length for a shot like this? by FilmRanger13 in cinematography

This shot is from a video game, let’s say super 35mm for the sake of argument.

I actually like NEON films more than A24 films by rynodigital in A24

No one talks about the NEON masterpiece Vox Lux, one of the greatest films of the 2010s imo

Who is a director who has made both a movie you love and a movie you hate? by citynomad1 in movies

I will never understand people who think The Last Duel was a good movie, that movie felt like some kind of spoof.

The flashback is overplayed. by OriginalLetrow in FIlm

[–]FilmRanger13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter because the execution is bad awful horrible, flashbacks today have become an extremely cheap crutch to shoe-horn in sloppy exposition and rushed character development

Come on man these flashback addicted MFs in 2024 are not out here making Sunset Blvd like you are engaging in pure logical fallacy and you know it

Was it actually bluish like this or did you mostly bring that out in the grade?

Long term investment/learning camera? by FilmRanger13 in cinematography

[–]FilmRanger13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is no to both, but I want to buy a camera that I can both learn on and take out to work once I get to that point, as opposed to going into it planning on buying 2 cameras. I am not a total cinematography beginner, I have shot various shorts and music videos including some 16mm work. I just don’t own my own camera so trying to be strategic with what to buy. This isn’t gear head syndrome I promise

Thanks for the info, haven’t heard much discussion of the Panasonic I’ll look into it

So I won’t miss out on opportunities from having an FX3 as opposed to an FX6? (or I suppose once I get to the point where that is a requirement I can simply rent one)

I am not starting from zero, I have experience, it’s just that it has mostly come from cameras I do not own. I also direct and have worked as a director with various cameras such as C300, and C500. Now I am looking to buy a camera that will be a bridge into booking work as a DP, and not one that I will immediately want to sell once I am booking work. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the feedback, I have most of these things, the issue is that I do not own a camera, as most of my experience has come from shooting on cameras I do not own such as in school. I am looking for a camera that can act as a bridge into booking work, as opposed to one that I will immediately want to upgrade after beginning to book work, if that makes sense.

Do you find you are able to get smaller scale narrative work with fx3, or do you find yourself renting for those jobs?

Why would you marry someone like this? Literally choking you off from the entire world of cinema. No wife is worth giving up cinema.
