As a cinematographer, so many times potential clients ask me, 'what kind of camera are you shooting with', that I've started to say, 'does it matter'? Many will argue it does, but I disagree. It's a tool. I can build some pretty cool furniture in my garage workshop with generic, not so great tools b...

Everyone has own choice and it depends on how you feed light to your camera.

Hey everyone, so I'm wrapping up my no-budget feature film and one thing that I love about Cinematography is lighting. It creates a mood for your overall film. And I love working with lighting on a tight budget. Okay..l lied. Where is Mr. Moneybags to fund my next project? In all seriousness, any li...

I like to call it visual signature…
Visual signature was used in films like “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.”
Sometimes some of the visuals can make for a very thematic film. This is how people can stand out by creating their own visual signature.
Tinkering & studying basic lighting tools, free add ons, portable lenses or i phone apps can work magic all depending on imagination of artist. We are swamped with high tech & VFX, yet watching vintag...
