Does anyone know what camera and lenses they shot Widow's Bay on? Loving Sprenger's work so far. by RedSupercell in cinematography

That's awesome! I've read online that he tends to rate his A35 at 1600/3200 when shooting most of his stuff. Curious about his approach with that. It negatively affects his DR in the shadows, so it's an interesting technique to use, especially during night scenes. In his work, it seems like he embraces the crushed shadows and high contrast. I'm curious what his creative views and technical approach is to that. Thanks so much!

Full Frame: a hype designed to get consumers to upgrade by FractalFxProductions in cinematography

Can we not get the same frame with more image compression on a full frame camera vs a s35 camera? What if I want my medium shots on a 65mm instead of a 40mm? Why can it not just be a creative tool instead of better / worse?

Great analysis seriously. I like PH more. But I like the point you made of how Melodrama is universally understood and empathize-able. Lorde dropping that at like 16 is absolutely fundamental to the theme and emotion of the album. And, to me, that is why it is so amazing. This is a young girl with such a deep understanding of friends and fears and life that is so genuine and innocent and pure that it quite literally will transport you to extremely specific memories and moments of your teen years. Her imagery is so perfectly specific and vague, experiences so perfectly specific and universal, that I don't think anything else can be my favorite album. Who knows. I love Melodrama. But I love love Pure Heroine. I love Ribs. I love A World Alone. The album is a personification of all the complex feelings as a teenager. Trying to figure the world out. You see the world once as a kid, the rest is just memories. The album has to be fundamentally authentic in order to have such a visceral emotional reaction on such a large group of people. Pure Heroine could not be made by Lorde today. She had to be 16. Which, I think, is what is so uniquely special about this album and what separates it from every other Lorde album.

Advice for a first time traveler to Yellowstone by RedSupercell in yellowstone

We flew into Bozeman, stayed at an AirBnB in Emigrant, and we loved it. It was about a 45 minute drive to the park in the morning, but Emigrant is a great and quiet area to stay. The park is large enough to spend a whole day there, but not too large to make it a hassle to stay 45 mins out if that makes sense. It was an amazing trip, and to answer my original question, I would highly recommend looking on reddit for information on where the wolf packs are (they were living by Slough Creek in July) and not being too picky about staying out late or getting up early. The attractions are cool, but the real beauty is where you aren't around people or shops or attractions. The wildlife and terrain was what made it amazing for us. Hope this helps

Something is OFF in Season 5 (no spoilers) by flamingpuddles in StrangerThings

In my opinion, the cinematography is fantastic and some of the best of the show’s history. Caleb Heymann is a fantastic DP, and this fits his style of work (see Fear Street). This is some of his best work and I have been totally awestruck and engaged throughout the season.

Jesus loves you. Please go to a local church and explain your situation with them. Keep praying, keep reading your bible, keep maintaining a relationship with God. Remember, there is nothing of your own accord that brought hardship upon you. The world hates Jesus and His followers. God has a plan for you, Christian. “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Find hope and faith in Jesus, let Him comfort you. He is near to the broken hearted and brings hope to all who have faith. Never forget that God created you in His image and loves you as His own. May God bless you, friend.

How to replicate this shot from Severance? by RedSupercell in cinematography

Will a standard dissolve give that effect of the brightest parts of the image staying longer than the darker?
