This is not the point i'm making, rather then the mass culture is so powerful forcing onto us their will, they will most likely see many of the "classic" mass culture examples whether i show them or not. Almost none of mass culture uses lighting for "meaning" but rather "effect" - a totally...

Just re-watched it the other day - though attractive in lensing, framing and art direction it feels a bit "flat" in terms of lighting.

So my choices so far are: Decalogue 9 Million Dollar Baby (v light in more typical Hollywood production) Barry Lyndon (v light in painting) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (v paintings by Robert Yarber) BTW, I'm intentionally staying away from B&W films (though many suggestions in posts above...

I'm not questioning "effectiveness" of lighting in that film (just as in pretty much any mainstream film) but rather meaning beyond its effectiveness. In many ways visual candy is probably a bad teaching tool because it's so hard for the mind to go beyond its 'wow' effect. "Barry Lyndon" is...

I would say it's more of a technique rather than the "scene maker". I think we can both imagine those scenes lit more traditionally and still retaining much of their power.

Would you remember general time where in the film it takes place?

Ideally we would stay away from eye candy of mass culture and concentrate on meaning that's build with lighting in more obscure works. The pop culture is so engulfing that i'm certain the students will encounter its omnipotent menainglessness at some point whether they want to or not. I would...

It's college class so i would prefer not to use films for kids.

Good call. I totally forgot!

I'm teaching a cinematography course at a university and for the next class i'm looking for examples where light makes the scene. We've all seen examples where light "adds" to the scene's meaning but what are examples where without the light there would be no scene??

I'm looking for mid-range slow mo cameras - around 250-300 fps. Are there any cameras capable of that other than Phantom? Here is what i'm coming up with: 240fps Panasonic EVA1 Red Sony F55 with R7 Anyone has experience filming extreme slow-mo with those?

When working with a soundman as cameraman, he usually has some kind of audio solution. He does audio, i do images = easy. But sometimes i get one of those gigs where I must monitor the audio too and for that i have wired headphones that drive me crazy. The wire always gets in the way. Is there...

I have a shoot coming up that the whole action takes place backwards. Anyone can recommend how best to monitor the footage play backwards after each take to know we got what we needed. Are tehre cameras that play footage backwards, or should i just record proxies to one of the on-board recorders?

Anyone knows of a way to re-build old flags and nets. I have "carcasses" of destroyed flags/nets (the metal is fine only the material isn't) laying around the shop and would love to bring those back to life. Anyone knows of some DIY ways?

I'm building a large photo booth using this Impact booth as starting point: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1418740-REG/impact_plb_300_photo_pro_led_booth.html?sts=pi My photo booth will be twice as long. I like their strip lights solution. Anyone knows where i could find those or similar?

Signal from my c300 mark II comes out in all sort of framerate flavors thus confusing the heck out of my legacy HDMI wireless transmitter/receiver combo. On my A-camera i have Decimator that converts anything the camera spits out into 1080i that is acceptable by both the wireless transmitter and...

If the shot i'm after was a closeup or medium shot - there would be a plenty of options for realistic looking lightning strike but on a wider shot - where the building i need to "strike" is around 75ft away from the light it's much more complex. So... Anyone can suggest a solution for lightning...

Here is the pic that i hope helps explain it better. I was thinking of splicing in both connections to the monitor and receiver at the "free" wires (red and black) which bypass fuse.

So i'm trying to simplify the power distribution for my new wireless director monitor. Right now i have Connex Mini receiver connected to Lilliput Q7 both powered by one vmount battery. Right now both are powered by dtap - one on the plate another on the battery but i feel i could wire the plate...

My 1.2 HMI has given a zap to two different crew members on two different shoots. Anyone knows best way to trouble shoot it? I have no problems of opening the fixture and seeing is anything is loose ut wanted to know if anyone can offer some guidelines. It's LTM 1.2 PAR if it matters.
