I'm looking for a writer who can begin mid january. I have a first draft and a ton of notes. Story set in not far off dystopian future with a 'Children of Men' vibe. PM for details.

This is a pic of the actual venue. No space for backprojection but the ceiling is high... keystoning would probably be bad but its more of an artistic vibe they are going for rather than a realistic...

Here is a test I shot f2.8 at 400iso seemed to work. That was back projection. I think the key is nice soft sources with eggcrates to keep the light off screen, maybe with some fresnels to throw some...

20mm pancake almost all the time. I'll use the kit lens for wides although I'd love a fast 12mm. A Nikon 50mm 1.7 for telephoto and I usually have a monopod when using 50mm and up. Given the option...

your grade seemed to give some of those yellow green overtones which I like, colorista didn't really produce that effect.

yes that definitely helps pushing the red and orange toward yellow. Is there rule about how much to push the shadows into blue... do you just eyeball it or check your scopes ? My first round of...

These are framegrabs from a western short of mine... shot with a 5D using kerosine lanterns and lcd lighting.. the white balance was screwed up and the images came out really red. I gave a pass at...

This was all shot with the Nikon 50mm 1.8 D .The only downside to the lens is that it wasn't really made for manual focusing, a very slight adjustment on the focus wheel has a big effect on the...
