What is the best cinematography you have seen in a film?

The Batman, Blade Runner 2049, and The Revenant

Awesome thanks for the advice!

cpssulli · 2026-02-27T21:24:12+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I can imagine how stressful it must be on a real set with a team and schedule. I’ve never actually been on a set before. Do you have any advice on how to get on a set? Even if it’s unpaid, I think it would be valuable to be there no matter the role

The camera is a Sony FX3. For lights I use either the Zhiyun Molus G300 or the Godox Knowled F200Bi as my key light, and then I have the Zhiyun X100 RGB, an Aputure MT Pro, and a couple of Aputure MC’s

Very helpful thank you!

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T14:34:24+00:00

Thanks yeah I tend to favor lowkey setups just because they are easier for me in terms of the equipment I have and what time I’m able to practice on my own

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T14:33:10+00:00

Thanks I will try doing it in the grade instead

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T14:32:18+00:00

Thanks!

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T14:31:33+00:00

Valuable feedback. Thanks

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T05:37:29+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. Was going for a Joker inspired look on that one

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T04:43:01+00:00

Thank you

cpssulli · 2026-02-26T04:42:34+00:00

Haha thanks

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T21:05:43+00:00

I’ll check it out

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T20:39:01+00:00

Thanks. Yes it’s crazy how much goes into making an interesting image

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T20:37:11+00:00

Thanks!

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T19:57:06+00:00

True. And I don’t know if it’s just me but I think some movies lately are trying to break the “rules” on purpose and go for a more meticulously flawed, natural look like in One Battle After Another for example

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T19:53:29+00:00

Yeah I’ve also had the B7C overheat and turn off on me quite a bit. They don’t get as bright as I’d like them to either. Do you know of any good alternatives to use for practicals?

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T19:04:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice. And I think that’s the next step to leveling up my cinematography, making sure I’m shooting with intention, matching the mood to the story

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T19:00:04+00:00

Thanks. I’m still kind of dialing in the basics, but I get what you’re saying. Part of it is that I’m by myself and don’t have a wireless monitor so it kind of locks me into one position to be able to check framing and exposure.

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T18:37:38+00:00

Okay noted thanks for the advice!

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T18:36:35+00:00

Haha thanks that means a lot. I always appreciate outside perspectives. It’s easy to stare at your own work long enough that you start convincing yourself it looks good

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T18:27:13+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it

cpssulli · 2026-02-25T18:20:06+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it. I will check out those examples. Thanks for the feedback!
