Cinematographer Explains 3 Different Camera Lenses | Vanity Fair
The Bumdog School of Film Part 3: Juxtaposition of SoundAnd God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.- Genesis 1:3
By that you could make a case for the fact that God created sound before he create light. That the universe was HEARD before it was SEEN. And if you dont want to play favoritism at the very least they were created simultaneously. And the greatest of artists often acknowledge this connection: Da Vinci compositions corresponded to the precision of of musical notes. Michelangelo' works move with a rolling rhythm. John Steinbeck wanted "The Grapes of Wrath" to have an operatic feel. Jack Kerouac based his prose on free form jazz. On the other side John Lennon goal was to create "Sound Pictures" with his songs.
It terms of movies in the creative process the sound often comes first as it can take YEARS before even the first frame of a film is created. Directors will often live with the soundtrack in there minds for years before they begin the real work.
While traditionally music is used to embellish the visual story, more recently sound has been used to contrast certain images. This juxtaposition gives the experience of two different perspectives running at the same time.
This tutorial will look/hear the creative use and techniques of sound.

Translating Words Into Images | Paul Schrader on Filmmakingsubscribe to Guru ⏩ https://youtube.com/user/BAFTAGuru
Paul Schrader, writer of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, First Reformed and many more, shares his insights on filmmaking and why the story is the most important element. Learn all about moving between writing and directing, and discover how this legendary filmmaker remains responsible to no one.
Stanley Kubrick | The Economy of Statement: This video explores an idea that I heard Kubrick discuss in an interview which I was fascinated by. I thought about it lots and wondered what he was really talking about. Then I found some other interview materials that talked about this idea of visual poetry, economy of statement, pure cinema and it helped expand my understanding. I tried to share some film examples at the end which I think have moments of ‘pure cinema’ but I’d be curious to hear your examples. I’ll be in the comments if you’d like to share.

Handheld Filming - The Great AdvantagesLet me explain why handheld shooting can improve your videos!
Support the channel and join our filmmaking community: http://www.patreon.com/andyax
The past ten years, I’ve been working as a freelance filmmaker. And what I’ve seen is that more an more clients ask me to document events. Events where I don’t have much time to rig, where I don’t have time to direct people and stage scenes. It’s all about scanning the location with your eyes and finding the moments you want for the video. Even though I bring my steadycam and shoulder rig, I often end up using just my hands. Why is this? Because when you see an action you want to capture, you may only have seconds to shoot it. You have to be able to get the camera in the right position, drag focus and adjust exposure before the moment is gone, forever. Place your focus on what is happening in front of the camera, and not the camera itself.
So why not shoot just handheld? Well, there is a reason why we have tripods and steadycams. They can do things that is almost impossible when shooting handheld, and they can tell your story in different ways. My point is: shooting handheld gives you the ability to shoot fast, in an easy, affordable and very flexible way. You will be able to shoot more, have time to experiment and move quickly around. And that may again be crucial to capture the right moments. The only downside is that the shots can get shaky, but this can be solved with techniques and stabilization (warp stabilizer) in post.
If you want to be the king of handheld shooting, get yourself an easy rig. I recommend the Easyrig Minimax which can handle rigs up to 7kgs. It distributes all the weight to your entire body so you can shoot an entire day without getting tired. It keeps the camera stable in the position you want, and if you need two hands, you can just let go of your camera. The Easyrig will hold it for you! You can buy the Easyrig minimax here (affiliation link): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1282660-REG/easyrig_erig_minimax_easyrig_minimax_camera_support.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/EAMINIMAX/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xEAMINIMAX

How to Use Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO For VideoToday we talk about 3 critical video settings that you will find on almost every camera.
This video is an excerpt from my G85 Video Guide: http://dslr-video-shooter.thinkific.com/courses/g85-video-guide
Overview of the Settings:
Shutter Speed
Controls how LONG light hits the sensor each second. Also controls motion blur effects.
Saving Private Ryan is a great example of how a fast shutter speed can be used for tension.
The Bourne movies are a great example of slow shutter speeds (when Jason is dreaming/remembering his past).
180 Degree rule explanation.
Aperture
Controls how MUCH light hits the sensor. Also controls depth of field or how much of the shot is in focus.
ISO
Controls the sensitivity (brightness) of sensor. Noise can be introduced at high ISO levels so try to avoid those.
How I Use These Settings:
1) Set shutter speed for desired look (180 rule is applied when I shoot most of the time)
2) Set aperture for desired depth of field.
3) Use ISO to make final exposure changes.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Nina (Natalie Portman) auditions for the role, but Thomas (Vincent Cassel) can only see her as the perfect white swan, not the dangerous black swan.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect. BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter,s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her. -

Very often I get asked questions about cameras and settings from people who want to achieve advanced effects even though they don’t understand the basics of what each camera setting does. It’s very important to first learn the fundamentals if you want to stay in total control of your camera. Also this way you will know what to do to acheive the different creative control. In this video I cover everything you need to know about aperture, shutter speed, ISO & white balance settings. Plus I talk about different lens focal lengths and what kind of effects you can get with that.

A Day in the Life of a Production AssistantIf you're planning on working your way up into the film industry, PAing is a rite of passage. Production Assistants (P.A.'s) are often overlooked, but are a crucial part of any production. They work as a team, have their eyes on everything, facilitate communication across the entire set, and keep everything running smoothly. On the set of RocketJump: The Show, we gave production assistant Colin West McDonald a go pro and followed him as he went about his day on the short "Tip Jar."
Learn about set protocol and lingo, what exactly is said on all the walkies, lock ups, what a "last man" is, and general production assistant duties... as well as what to do to guarantee you'll get hired again!

Choosing the Best Camera Lens for your FilmChoosing the best camera lens for your film. Lenses make the Director. In this webisode, Jose talks about the importance of a director's knowledge of lenses when thinking of a shot. What does a wide lens do? What does a long lens do? How do different lenses behave with depth of field and focus? How can you manipulate the audience through the use of lenses as a director?
THIS VIDEO DOES NOT COVER ALL THE SPECIFICS OF LENSES, IT IS MEANT ONLY AS A MOUTH OPENER, AN INTRODUCTION. IT IS DESIGNED FOR THE UP AND COMING FILMMAKER. IN LATER VIDEOS WE WILL ADRESS T-STOPS AND DISTANCE:).
Directing - The Fine Arts of Blocking and CompositionWhen it comes to directing, one set of skills that always separates the wheat from the chaff, are the fine arts of blocking and composition. They're the extra punch in selling great performances, and reeling your audience in. In this video, I look at what makes and breaks great directing, through clever staging and camera movement.

BREAKING BAD - Motivated Camera MovementFULL ARTICLE: http://vashivisuals.com/breaking-bad-motivated-camera-movement/<br />
<br />
In the final episode of BREAKING BAD...there are two shots in a pivotal scene that are perfect examples of how to use camera movement to amplify the narrative and surprise the audience. With one simple pan and one simple dolly...there is a set-up and shortly after, a dramatic pay-off. The scene at first appears to be just conveying information to the viewer. Then, with one pan and one dolly move...the scene is flipped on its head and is seen in a whole new light. This could only happen through writing, direction, set design and camera movement working in unison. A Steadicam or crane shot through a window could never have achieved the emotional impact of a simple pan and dolly.

Joel & Ethan Coen - Shot | Reverse ShotHow do you film a conversation? Most likely, you’re going to block the actors, set up the camera, and do shot/reverse shot. But where do you put the camera? What lens do you use? And how do you cut back and forth? Today, I consider the Coen brothers — Joel & Ethan — and see how these choices lend a particular feel to their version of shot/reverse shot.

Composition In StorytellingThe cinema screen is just another canvas for an artist to create images. Composition is the tool that gives those images structure and purpose.

1:59-2:49 Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
2:49-6:39 Michael Nyman - Fish Beach

12:24-15:55 Arcade Fire - Dimensions
Focusing on Depth of Field and Lens EquivalentsHow much space in front of the lens will be in focus? That question defines Depth of Field - but this simple concept has lead to a staggering amount of confusion in today's multi-format camera environment. Through some fundamental scientific demonstrations, we will clarify concepts like circle of confusion and lens equivalency.
For fundamentals make sure you check out:
The History and Science of Lenses

The Properties of Camera Lenses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGGUXAMliqM
*ERRATA*
The ISO in regards to Lens Equivalents should be multiplied by ISO^2 because we're dealing with two dimensions not just one. Multiplying by just the ISO will result in slightly darker image (as see in the demo)
Crop factor explained (for mirrorless cameras)Warning: Crop factor is math! I explain crop factor, why people use it, and how to apply crop factor to various camera lenses and systems.
Understanding crop factor won't improve your photography, but it might keep you from saying something embarrassing on Reddit.

How to Cut a Film - The Secrets of Editing - Film School'dIntercut! Montage! The illusion of continuity! All hallmarks of the edit - the point in a film’s production where a film comes together and becomes greater than the sum of its shots. SUBSCRIBE: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
Kuleshov said that film is born in the edit. And you gotta take him seriously, because he used the magic of editing to convince an audience that a blank-faced man was hungry/sad/lustful.
Later, montage showed audiences how to get in shape and learn to dance in under 2 minutes! (Of screen time). And that's the magic of film editing - understanding that comes from what isn't shown.
In less than 7 minutes (and plenty of cuts), we’ll show you just how important editing is to the creation of film: from the first stop trick to today.

C-Stands 101 with Eric JangC-Stand Instructional Video
C-Stand BasicsWhile traveling around to different cities on the Illumination Experience Tour last year, I quickly realized that many people did not understand the basics of how to operate a c-stand properly. A foundation in c-stand protocols, the so called rules, are essential to live by. In the right hands and with the right instruction, this baby will change the way you light. That is what I want to share with you.

Drive (2011) - The Quadrant SystemOne of the many pleasures of Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” (2011) is that the shots feel both tightly composed and weirdly unpredictable. Even though most of the images follow a simple quadrant system, Refn puts plenty of subtle touches within the frame. Let’s take a look.

Cinematography For Directors [Ep 1 - Slow Dolly]Cinematography For Directors is series of short videos dissecting the shot selection and framing used in nine specific scenes in the movie Drinking Games. HUGE thanks to Cinematographer Andrew "Tank" Rivara at TankLightsYouUp.com and AC Chris Falkowski for making it all possible!
My hope is that the ideas expressed in the videos help your decision-making process on your next film. Remember, these are just ideas, a jumping off point, a way to start thinking about picking and framing shots. Hope it's helpful!
***Ep 1 - Slow Dolly***
I discuss why we used a slow dolly into the character of Tom to introduce him, and some ways you can apply this move to your own projects. Full text below.
***About me***
I'm an independent producer/director with award-winning features distributed in theaters, online and internationally. When I have a new project, I do a lot of Q&A's and with my new feature Drinking Games, I took a lot of questions about the cinematography and shot selection. I thought this type of breakdown would be helpful to other directors like you, so I put in video form. You can check out my films below, they're all available on Hulu, iTunes and Amazon.

It’s important to me to use the opening shots that establish a character to frame who the person is in relation to the world.
The Graduates- as the car comes whipping into everyone’s world, that person is in a location and behaving in a way that will define them for better or worse. Even the color palette at each location is specifically designed to teach us who the character is without any dialog.
Turtle Hill, Brooklyn- Will and Mateo are the two central characters. We introduce them with Will passively lying in bed, waiting to have his day presented to him, and Mateo scurrying around trying to look like the perfect boyfriend. This is also symbolic of how they each deal with the infidelity at the center of the story.
So here, in Drinking Games, Tom is not the central character, but he is an important one, and his arc is basically: he tries to be cool and do things right, but the world is out of his control, and slowly swallows him up in a darkly funny way.
So we tried to mirror that with the camera movement. Using a small jib- 12-feet- we slowly creep forward while the obnoxious kids slowly pick him apart.
Our DP, Tank Rivara guided the jib while our AC Chris Falkowski climbed ninja-like over the first couch, WHILE pulling focus.
Because of the shooting angle, we were not able to have him climb over the second couch, so the actors leapt up as soon as the camera passed and slid the second couch out of Chris’s path.
All of this had to be done with precise timing, and silence. I believe it took 9 takes, the singles most takes of any scene/shot combo.
By the time we were done, the room was in shambles and people were standing everywhere. But the effect is a smooth, creeping attack on Tom, played here by the extremely talented Josh Bragg.
Hope that was interesting. I wanted to talk about some of the decision making process behind certain shots. This one I believe does a great job of complementing Josh’s portrayal of the character, and reflecting Tom’s arc.

We start at a normal point of view, chest-level, as if we’re sitting on a bed in the room. But as Richard crosses to the room, we use the 16 lens to stay on the bed, twist or pan upward and let Richard become large in the frame. For anyone else this would be empowering, this early in the story it just reminds us of Noopie, lying on the floor below. It puts us in Noopie’s shoes.
We did this for two reasons- to suggest to the audience that Noopie and Richard will battle at some point- maybe now?- and to keep people on their toes, asking where will the camera be next? Because we filmed in a real dorm room, we spent a lot of time creating ways to shoot that would make each scene seem fresh and new.
We immediately cut from this shot looking up at Richard to Noopie’s watch hand- hinting that he’s alive and is paying attention. So when Richard leaves, it’s time to intro the mysterious man under the comforter.
Noopie is a psychopath. He’s chaos. Dark. Mean and without empathy. So we wanted to make him look like a true giant rising from the earth, something not of this world. As he emerges and shakes off the comforter, the hope is that you have a very different reaction to looking up at Noopie, than you did looking up at Richard.
The slow dolly forward mirrors the slow dolly into Tom, from earlier in the film, but again I hope you have a very different reaction to seeing the slow dolly into Noopie's alpha male character then you did during the slow dolly into Tom's childlike character.
To reinforce that we shoot Noopie through a long lens shuffling through the room destroying everything he touches. Sure, he destroys things in a small way, but you'll notice he doesn't straighten up the room he just makes everything worse and leaves his mark on everything, like a dog marking his territory over and over again.

So if you're watching this in order by now you probably have noticed the kind of creepy butterfly tapestry hanging on the wall in the bedroom. It's one of those things that seems to me to be both beautiful and scary at the same time. Also obviously it’s a bit of a metaphor for growing up, shedding your skin and turning into an adult.
So although there's a lot of action in the movie, the moments that really push Richard the farthest are those that happen with or about the money. We come back to this camera angle in the climax when Richard must save Melanie from Noopie for instance.
So it was important when they're having their introductory argument when I want me calls Richard out for being distant after they've slept together, that the butterfly tapestry is visible in the background, and hopefully it feels like the third character in the scene judging Richard or at least reflecting what they're both going through.
This is another instance where having a small dorm room was a real challenge. We pushed the bed out from the wall, also needed to use our 16mm Canon Prime lens in order to keep both actors in the frame- it’s a great wide lens that doesn’t warp around the edges.
Hope this was helpful.

This is a short segment but an important one I think. This 30-second shot was technically pretty difficult to put off, because of the number of characters in a small space, the complicated movement of the camera that involved both a slow and steady dolly roll and really quick whip pans from one character to another.
Making sure to hit the correct landing spots for each whip pan was hard for Chris and Tank, but Chris also had to land on each character already in-focus. A quick side note, we had to turn off the air conditioning in the dorm room and put 10 and Chris on her a black blanket so that there was no reflection of them as the camera with around the room. This was an exhausting and very sweaty series of shots.
One of the added benefits of the quick movement in the first half of the shot, is that when we stop and hold on Shawn, played by Nick Vergara for the second half of the shot, the change in tempo is really jarring. The contrast highlights the comedic beat that follows.
Again, one of the big reasons to seek such dramatic camera movement, is that even though the scene is relatively simple, it is a huge deal to all of the participants in the scene. So the camera movement needs to match their experience which is: "things are really picking up speed now, and I probably can't slow them down.”

HUGE thanks to Cinematographer Andrew "Tank" Rivara at TankLightsYouUp.com and AC Chris Falkowski for making it all possible!
My hope is that the ideas expressed in the videos help your decision-making process on your next film. Remember, these are just ideas, a jumping off point, a way to start thinking about picking and framing shots. Hope it's helpful!
***Ep 5 - When To Use A Spinning Shot***
I discuss how and why we used a spinning camera- moving at a uniform speed- to create the sensation of being wasted in the film Drinking Games, and some ways you can apply these specific techniques to your own projects! Full text below.
***About me***
I'm an independent producer/director with award-winning features distributed in theaters, online and internationally. When I have a new project, I do a lot of Q&A's and with my new feature Drinking Games, I took a lot of questions about the cinematography and shot selection. I thought this type of breakdown would be helpful to other directors like you, so I put in video form. You can check out my films below, they're all available on Hulu, iTunes and Amazon.

Two main camera movements here. Both are designed to reflect what it feels like when you’re really fucked up.
The energy is bouncing around the room, causing it to spin, no one really has control. But another thing that happens when you’re fucked up is you’re often really, really in your own head and then suddenly you’re communicating with everyone around the room, being too big, too vocal. So we also filmed the scene with the camera dollying in and out while people start to pontificate, express themselves, connect.
To achieve the constant, even spin, we put the camera on a rotating time-lapse tripod, about two feet off the floor. Because of the lack of space in the room, no crew members could be in the room. We pressed record, called action and left.
We knew going into the shoot that we wanted to do this, so for this reason- and a million others- almost all of our lighting was practical. Shooting on the RED, this was a concern- how could practical lighting generate enough light to really read. Tank and Chris figured it out, but it was a challenge.
The dolly-in and dolly-out moves were easier, though focus was a challenge of course.
When cut together the scene plays as if we (the camera) are the energy being passed around the room haphazardly. We’re as fucked up as the people in the room.
But it all comes to a screeching halt when the camera stops moving. It’s like a moment of sudden, unwanted sobriety- the truth is revealed, there is no real energy, nothing being created, just a handful of idiots getting high.
We (the camera) go from being just another partygoer to actually being the kid down the hall who peers into the room before deciding to go back his room and get some work done. We’re a source of judgment for a second, and we have to- ideally- go back and ask wait, was I just getting sucked into this party because of the music and the quick editing? Am I really that malleable, that susceptible to being manipulated.

Two different moves happening simultaneously here: the slow dolly into Shawn and Richard’s slow spin out of context.
I’m going to be a little bit literal here for a second. The slow Dolly into Shawn is to highlight his increasing understanding of who his friend really is. And, the slow spin on Richard where he slides out of traditional context is meant to suggest that he is growing out of college, out of his youth, and out of his relationship to Shawn.
The side-spin camera move takes place in Melanie’s room because her maturity and presence is the catalyst for his change. Once he leaves this room he is in a new world, it’s a portal in a way.
The scene ends with Shawn leaving his room as well- and the lighting shifts significantly- from a deep red to a sickly green. Things aren’t fun in there anymore, they aren’t light and simple. So when Shawn returns later, he’s returning to a different world.
The change in lighting is also meant to make the room Erin’s for the time being. It’s time for her to have her own experiences, which is why we end on the green lighting of Erin, and not a closeup of Shawn for instance.
The dolly shot is relatively straight forward, but just a quick note about how we did the side-spin or flop-pan or whatever you want to call it of Richard.
Sometimes a tripod head can just fall forward, if the weight on the front of the camera is significant. So we placed our camera sideways on the tripod, moved it toward the front of the tripod head (putting more weight toward the front) and loosened the tripod head just the tiniest bit. The front-weight of the camera caused the head to tip froward, and tilt, and tilt… and the camera ended up perfectly on its side.

Okay, so if you’ve watched a bunch of these, you’ll notice that this is the second spinning shot in the film where the spin has been the primary master shot of the scene. And again, we filmed from three different distances- wide, medium and close.
The effect is fairly obvious, it makes it look like the two actors are chasing each other around the party. But, I really love it because the consistency of the spin FORCES the actors to chase, or to adjust their pacing if they fall behind. In that way, the camera is like the rotation of the earth, or the waves in the sea, or some other force of nature- it can’t be stopped.
The unrelenting spin of the camera suggests these two could chase and chase, but they’ll never be able to close the gulf between them, because the gulf between them is inevitable and unrelenting.
It’s a subtle difference but I do think it matters, especially in a film where we intentionally use the camera to push the story and to provide different emotional moments in the same locations.
Another added benefit is that it adds to the energy of the party. Once we establish the 7 or 8 friends in the room, in order to film anything else we need to clear out the room, more or less. Remember, we filmed in a real dorm, with tiny room and low ceilings. So the movement of the camera hopefully distracts us from how sparse the tiny room actually is, allowing the audience to just focus on the actors.

This is a fun one. A 70-foot dolly shot, mixed with some hand-help, plus some snow indoors. The camera move itself is similar to some of the others, but I thought this was worth talking about because it’s a digression from the narrative of the film.
We get to see a lot of the film from Richard’s perspective, and I wanted a window into Melanie’s soul as well. The film is about people in college growing out of their pasts, and how painful or impossible that can be.
Melanie is losing Richard, who she loves, and it’s out of her control. Losing your first love would be painful for anyone, but I want to show WHY losing Richard is so painful.
Turns out, Melanie let someone else slip away before: As a young girl, she watched her sister drown in a frozen lake back in Germany. Losing Richard rekindles all these feelings of guilt, sadness and loss.
So MELANIE doesn’t step into a hallway. WE step into Melanie’s mind. The shift in perspective and tone is a digression, but it’s also a step sideways, into a character’s subconscious.
In Melanie’s mind right now, she back at the lake, in the falling snow, watching helplessly as someone she loves disappears.

Ok, this is a fun one. We’re constrained by the dorm room. It’s small, cramped. And we’re shooting on a big camera, the RED. So once we added the DP, AC and sound guy, the room was jammed.
Also, on a SET, you’re able to move a wall out of the way, if you want more room to shoot, like if you want the camera to be in the wall, looking out. Or in the floor, looking up, for instance.
So Tank and Chris decided to shoot into mirrors. You put the mirror on the ground or the wall. Think of it as the camera lens. Then you point the camera into the mirror.
Although the image is going to be flipped or reversed, you essentially have placed your camera into the wall or into the floor. Once you flip the image in FinalCut Pro or Premiere Pro, no one will ever know.
A super-cool side note is that if you let the mirror wobble just a bit- like if you hold it in your hands instead of laying it flat on the ground- you can achieve a really cool, slightly dizzying effect.
We use this effect here with Noopie, who has consumed a lot of cocaine and done a bunch of shots, and even drank roofies. He’s blasted. The effect even allows us to warp the dimensions of inanimate things, like the floor. As Noopie collapses to floor, we bring it up to meet him using the bend of the mirror.
From a story standpoint, it’s important at this stage in the film to show Noopie losing it, crossing over into incoherent cruelty, because we need to think he’s capable of anything.
From a production standpoint, we can solve a space issue AND build a creative enhancement using something as simple and cheap as a mirror. That’s indie filmmaking 101.
Hope this was helpful.

Cinematography Tutorial: Using Flags to Control Shadow and LightMore lighting tutorials on our blog at: http://www.lightsfilmschool.com/blog/
Cinematography Tutorial: Flags are pieces of black duvetyne held together by metal frames. Flags are generally held up by c-stands in an effort to cut or shape light and provide "negative fill".
It's important to mention that when using c-stands you should first position your flag exactly as you want it with the c-stand joints loose. Then when your flag is ready, tighten the c-stand joints in order to secure the precise position of the flag. This will not only help you precisely establish where your shadows will fall, but it will also save you a lot of time during your setup.
Many independent filmmakers rather than using black fabric flags and c-stands, will instead use tripods, clamps and black foam core. A large piece of black foam core can be purchased from an art supply store for around $10-$15 and it will have essentially the same impact. In fact, virtually any opaque object can be used to flag light.... continue reading on our blog.

Light & ShadowIf you have only one takeaway from Light & Shadow, let it be a reminder that cinematography, like all art forms, is something that comes from within. The technical can be taught, and anyone can pick up a camera and learn how to operate it. To capture an emotion and move an audience through visual storytelling is what real artists are all about. The big question is this: can it be learned or are you born with it? With or without this born talent, it’s still upon you to keep learning and honing your craft.

Bridging the Gap: Classical Art Designed for Photographers** Click the show more button below for more info and links**
We will look at how many of the design problems that photographers face have been addressed by classical artists. Bridging the gap of classical art and street photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson combined the two practices and set the world of photography on a new course. We will look at how he and his followers at Magnum, converted the lessons from classical artists into the photojournalism, street photography, and portraiture. We will introduce the visual language, examining its basic grammar and the ways in which photographers can build up each element in their own work. They will be given specific examples from master painters who were proto-street photographers.
Attendees will walk away with a completely new way of viewing the design accomplishments of classical art. Museums and galleries will breathe with new life as the geometry of art and design is decoded specifically for photographers. You will be given a list of "common compositional mistakes" that many photographers make because the they are only taught to artists. We will also reveal where the "Rule of Thirds" comes from and look at additional techniques to use with a 35mm format.

Making Magic(Now in HD)<br />

I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to view this short montage. I casually uploaded it for a friend to see and, to my surprise, it's been viewed by many others!<br />
I made it as part of a personal project. It is the conclusion to a private film history class I taught. I felt the best way to end the class was to evoke just a bit of the magic that the movies have brought to us.<br />

How Codecs Work - TutorialIf you work with video, it's vital to understand how codecs work and how they change your image. In this tutorial, I over all of the big concepts behind codecs, breaking it down into understandable pieces. While the nitty-gritty of compression algorithms can get complicated, all of the main ideas are quite simple.<br />
<br />
Here's an overview of the topics covered:<br />
<br />
- What a codec is - And how it differs from a container.<br />
- Different types of codecs - And why I frequently use 4 different codecs on a single project.<br />
- Bit Depth - What it means and why it matters.<br />
- Chroma Subsampling - 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0, and when it becomes an issue.<br />
- Spatial Compression and Blocking - One of the most common artefacts you see with normal work.<br />
- Temporal Compression - Long-GOP codecs, inter-frame compression, and ALL-I codecs.<br />
- Lossless vs. Lossy compression - How image compression differs from data compression.<br />
- Bit Rate - How to calculate bit rates and the differences between kbps/kBps/Mbps/MBps.<br />
- Raw - Briefly, the difference between Raw, compressed, and uncompressed video.<br />

Ken Burns: On StoryWhat makes a great story? For legendary filmmaker Ken Burns, the answer is both complicated and personal. In this short documentary about the craft of storytelling, he explains his lifelong mission to wake the dead. Recently featured on The Atlantic.

Ken Burns On Story Transcription<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You know the common story is one plus one equals two, we get it. But all stories are really, the real genuine stories, are about one and one equaling three. That’s what I’m interested in. <br />
<br />
We live in a rational world where absolutely we’re certain that one and one equals two, and it does. But the things that matter most to us, some people call it love, some people call it God, some people call it reason, is that other thing where the whole is greater than the some of its parts, and that’s the three. <br />
Oh great story, they are everywhere. There are millions of them! Abraham Lincoln wins the Civil War and then he decides he’s got enough time to go to the theater. That’s a good story. When Thomas Jefferson said we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, he owned a hundred human beings and never saw the hypocrisy, never saw the contradiction, and more important, never saw fit in his lifetime to free any one of them. That’s a good story. You know the stories that I like to tell are always interesting because the good guys have really serious flaws and the villains are very compelling. My interest is always in complicating things. <br />
<br />
Jean Luc Goddard said cinema is truth 24 times a second. Maybe. It’s lying 24 times a second too, all the time, all story is manipulation. Is there acceptable manipulation? You bet. People say oh boy, I was so moved to tears in your film. That’s a good thing? That was, I manipulated that. That’s part of storytelling. I didn’t do it dis-genuinely, I did it sincerely, I am moved by that too, that’s manipulation. Truth is we hope a byproduct of the best of our stories and yet there are many, many different kinds of truths and an emotional truth is something that you have to build. <br />
<br />
I made a film on baseball once and it seemed to me that there was a dilemma for the racist of what to do about Jackie Robinson. If you were a Brooklyn Dodger fan and you were a racist, what do you do when he arrives? You can quit baseball all together, you can change teams, or you can change. And I think that the kind of narrative that I subscribe trusts in the possibility that people could change. I hope it’s a positive version of manipulation, but I do think that we do coalesce around stories that seem transcendent. <br />
<br />
I don’t know why I tell stories about history I mean there’s kind of classic dime-store Ken Burns wolf-at-the door things, my mother had cancer all of my life, she died when I was 11, there wasn’t a moment from when I was aware, two-and-a-half, three, that there was something dreadfully wrong in my life. It might be that what I’m engaged in, in a historical pursuit is a thin layer perhaps thickly disguised waking of the dead, that I try to make Abraham Lincoln and Jackie Robinson and Louis Armstrong come alive and it maybe very obvious and very close to home who I’m actually trying to wake up. We have to keep the wolf from the door, you know, we tell stories to continue ourselves. We all think an exception is going to be made in our case and we’re going to live forever, and being a human is actually arriving at the understanding that that’s not going to be, story is there to just remind us that it’s just okay.
You are not a storyteller - Stefan Sagmeister @ FITCWe had the pleasure of spending some time with Stefan Sagmeister at the recent FITC Toronto conference in April, 2014, and he had some things to say.<br />
<br />

Martin Scorsese on the Films of Roberto Rossellini - Conversations Inside The Criterion CollectionClick here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE
Director Martin Scorsese looks at the importance of three films by Italian director Roberto Rossellini, all starring Rossellini's then-wife Ingrid Bergman.
In the late 40s, Ingrid Bergman was the coolest, hottest, and most talented lady around Hollywood. She saw some Italian neo-realist films by Roberto Rossellini, wrote him a letter, starred in a number of his movies, and proceeded to have a scandalous affair and marriage with him. In each film, Bergman experiences some sort of deep existential crises in the midst of political and social upheaval. Since every major player who worked on those films is dead, Martin Scorsese (who was heavily influenced by the films) gives us the 4-1-1 on the three movies in this short doc and it’s fucking fascinating.

FilmmakerIQ.com and RØDE Microphones are proud to give you a sneak peak at the first lesson in our six part course which will cover science/microphones, recording, editing, foley, and ADR. We are also hard at work behind the scenes updating the site to include even more interaction which should be live in the coming weeks. Until then - enjoy this lesson on the history of sound at the movies.
The inclusion of sound at the movies was one of the most dramatic changes in all of film history. Dive into the early experiments of Edison trying to incorporate sound from film's inception, through the experiments in the early 1920s, the Jazz Singer and the industry sound overhaul, and finally the multi-channel surround and modern movie sound technologies.

Let's Build Some Flats!Matt Brown, Film-maker, is back in The Film Lab after a few months of rest. When last we saw our friend he was searching for the perfect elevator in which to shoot his short film, leading him to take a film-maker's walkabout (i.e. recce or location scout). Yet after deliberating with his producer Kat, they decided that it would be just easier to make an elevator from scratch. Huh... Well, today's the day: the first real day of set construction. The FIlm Lab smells like a woodshop and there's sawdust everywhere (and no, Mike didn't puke) which can mean only one thing: somebody's making flats. And you know what? you can too, for very little money and minimal effort...

Chaos Cinema Part 1The video essay Chaos Cinema, administered by Indiewire's journalistic blog PRESS PLAY, examines the extreme aesthetic principles of 21st century action films. These films operate on techniques that, while derived from classical cinema, threaten to shatter the established continuity formula. Chaos reigns in image and sound. Part 1 contrasts traditional action films with chaotic ones and takes a close look at the "sound" track, especially its use in car chases.<br />
<br />
The video essay was widely debated on the internet and featured in newspaper publications such as THE WEEK and THE NEW YORK TIMES.<br />

Dede Allen, The Lost Interview - Part 4"I was lucky. I got to work with fine directors. It wasn't my picture, it was their picture. I was only one of the people who helped them interpret it. Which is my job."
"There are certain films I would not edit. If they were terribly sexist or John Wayne waving the flag.... That's because I'm a left winger."
In part 4 of our evening with Dede Allen, taped at the April 2006 lafcpug meeting, we take more questions from the audience. We touch on the role of Producers, her role as a VP of Post Production at Warner Bros. - "I was a suit that wasn't a suit." We talk a bit about Final Cut Pro. And yes, Ms. Allen stayed for the World Famous Raffle and picked the tickets.
Hosted by Michael Horton.

Dede Allen, The Lost Interview - Part 1"I couldn't get into picture editing because the head of Editorial at Columbia didn't believe women should get into editing."
In April 2006, I had the privilege of interviewing legendary film editor Dede Allen at the Gallery Theater in Hollywood. For some odd reason the tapes were misplaced and only resurfaced recently.
In this, Part 1 of our evening with Dede Allen, we talk about her early career (15 years) as a sound editor, and her first big break as a picture editor on the film "Odds Against Tomorrow" directed by Robert Wise. We touch on her politics, her childhood, her college life and her love of movies. We show a scene from Dog Day Afternoon and talk about it.
We end Part 1 with a scene from the movie REDS, directed by Warren Beatty.
There are only so many questions that one can ask an editor that the editor has not answered before. So although I did ask some of those same questions, it was my goal to get to know Ms. Allen as a person, not just an editor.
In the audience that night was Dede's husband, the great writer and producer of dozens of documentary films for CBS and ABC news, Steve Fleishman.
Special thanks to Dean Cleary for putting this altogether and Victor Maldonado for his camera work.
NOTE: Unfortunately the audio was recorded from the on-board camera mic and there are some issues. It does get better as it progresses, but it is necessary in parts to turn the volume up.
We Urge you to view the clips if you can.

SMAPP Tutorial - Basic Interview Lightingwe are one week closer to the launch of SMAPP and as our update of the week we wanted to share a tutorial on interview lighting. <br />
<br />
there are so many different ways you can light an interview and while story is always important, interviews more than anything else often come with the constraints of time, space, and gear. traveling for A Game of Honor we had to be able to light an interview with whatever we could fit into one 70lb suitcase (which inspired a whole separate tutorial on what's in that suitcase). if you've done your share of interviews, you'll be all too familiar with showing up and having a room that would be a tight fit just to hold all of your gear, let alone setup and interview in it. with almost every interview we feel like we could use one more stinger, one more light, an extra five minutes to tweak the setup, or an extra 5' feet to reposition the talent and camera. however, through working within these constraints we can learn to do much more with much less. half the tricks we know about lighting have all come from having to figure something out while on set, and having to do so quickly. the more we understand light, how it works and how we can work with it, the more we can make the most of whatever time, gear, and space we might find ourselves in.<br />
<br />
we hope you enjoy our first lighting tutorial on basic interview lighting. our next lighting tutorial we will be sharing shortly will show how we light the same scene three different ways to create different moods.<br />

SMAPP Tutorial - Deconstructing Lighting A Scenea few weeks ago we released a tutorial on basic interview lighting and how you can quickly achieve the look you want with just a few lights and modifiers. once you're comfortable with the basics we invite you to continue to push your story through light. you can say so much through your lighting so this week's tutorial will take it up a notch as we deconstruct how we lit multiple scenes differently based on story, all of which was shot in the exact same location. we'll take a look at how each scene was lit and why it was lit a certain way. armed with 5 lights and the same set of modifiers, you will see how and why using different modifiers and techniques can say change the way the viewer experiences the scene.<br />
<br />
so the next time you walk into a room or staged set, start thinking about what you want your scene to say, how that ties into the story you're trying to tell and how you plan on achieving that through lighting.<br />

Kodak Master Class Series: Lighting Dances with WolvesKodak Master Class Series: Lighting Dances with Wolves
This unique series, sponsored by the Kodak Worldwide Student Program, features nine of the world's finest cinematographers sharing their wealth of experience in a workshop setting, as they guide you through a series of professional lighting problems both in the studio and on location. 3-D computer animations are used to vividly illustrate solutions.
Dean Semler (Road Warrior, City Slickers, Dead Calm) demonstrates the techniques that won him an Academy Award for the cinematography of Dances With Wolves. Dean's background in documentary films is a major influence on his visuals. This workshop recreates the lighting of an interior fireside scene from Wolves, using an exact replica of the teepee set. The workshop footage was shot anamorphical, using a Panavision camera and a crane.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Dean discusses and demonstrates: wide screen composition, relationship between lighting design and coverage and the best use of high speed film stocks in low light situations.
Film Lighting Tutorial: Qualities of LightThe understanding of light is the most fundamental skill in cinematography. In this 3 minute film lighting tutorial video, watch and learn about the two basic types of light used in filmmaking and photography; hard and soft. Hard light creates a sharp solid shadow; while soft light creates a rounded gradient shadow. We break down these concepts and show you how to harness their power to improve your lighting.<br />

Advanced One Light Setups - Photography & Video Tutorial** Win a Spider Holster Pro Single Camera System: http://theslantedlens.com/2013/spider...
From Jay P. Morgan,
Today on the Slanted Lens we are shooting in a studio in downtown Los Angeles. We have beautiful Cynthia Chavez on our set and we will be exploring advanced lighting setups. Combining a single Dynalite strobe head with a Photoflex silver P22 reflector and a $15.00 dollar mirror from Home Depot we can make a single strobe head look like several heads on set. This is a look at advanced lighting with a single head. I hope you will find this advanced look at a single light setup helpful. It's important to remember that hard light from mirrors and silver reflectors becomes almost as powerful as the main light source and can create multiple light sources on set. A 15 dollar mirror from Home depot is a great investment. You can modify them much like a regular light with flags and scrims and even diffusion. Keep those cameras rollin and keep on clickn'.

SoundWorks Collection: Veteran ADR Mixer Doc Kane of Walt Disney StudiosIn this exclusive SoundWorks Collection profile we talk with veteran ADR mixer Doc Kane at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA to explore his extensive project credits and unique approach to capturing some of Hollywood's most talented voices.<br />
<br />
ABOUT DOC KANE:<br />
What has three letters, many aliases and is of major significance to the sound community? You guessed it: ADR aka Automated Dialog Replacement aka Additional Dialog Recording aka Dubbing aka Looping. All of these monikers are understood as the process of re-recording dialog that cannot be salvaged from a production. To make one thing clear, there is nothing automated about it. ADR is an art. And here to tell us more about the art is an artist whose name also has only three letters and many aliases but nonetheless has made a significant impact on the sound community.<br />
<br />
His name is Doc Kane but most just call him Doc. With over 300 projects under his belt and a slew of awards and nominations, including four Academy Award nominations, Doc has one of the longest and most impressive resumes in the sound business. Re-recording for over 35 years, Doc has worked with hundreds of talented actors including Tom Cruise, Ellen DeGeneres, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Robin Williams to name a few. He is also the trusted ADR mixer for dozens of legendary filmmakers such as: Tim Burton, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood and Taylor Hackford. Never one to toot his own horn, Doc is known as one of the best in the industry, his name alone drumming up praise and admiration from his colleagues and clients alike.<br />
