i just got my copy today!

some really nice camera work, can someone (jarred?) post the exact filters used?

they make brief mention of it in the commentary but something more specific would be great.

also, any other specific equipment would be helpful to understand some of the shots they talk about.

That was just an excuse to show off that you've got a Chrosziel.

Bastard. ;)

If you can't tell, I've got mattebox envy.
 
Re: Art History...

well yeah, of course it was :)

kind of like having a 911 with a bumper sticker that says "my other car is a piece of **** too!"

the arri is way overkill, but if your renting it probably isn't much more. i've never rented a single piece of camera equipment, but the prices are attractive, unfortunately i'm 75 miles from boston so it wouldn't be very practical anyway.

i'm busy building an updated version of my dolly and watching old hitchcock movies for inspiration.

ahh, the life of an indie filmaker. :)

I wouldn't trade it for a thing.
 
Re: Art History...

here is the setup we used on art history.. and yes its all rented (except the camera)

as for filters.. we used a combination of a +3 and a +5 ultracon, +3 Yellow, Tobacco, Chocolate, and Black Promist . We pretty much commited to the "bad boys" yellow from the getgo.. and there was no turning back.
 
Re: Art History...

which scenes was the promist on if you can remember?

what level was that filter?

it was interesting the scene at the metal shop how different it looked in the movie vs. the behind the scenes.

was any of the tweaking in post or was that all filters?

that was the most interesting scene coloringwise for me, especially being able to see what it looked like to a naked lens.

the behind the scenes was great, you did some nice work on that, i assume that was with your dvx?

yes i second that notion. i am curious as to what you guys did to achieve that look. definitely one of my favorite scenes in the film. the metal shop was a really nice location.

Re: Art History...

That was a great article walter. I just recently learned that term in my drawing class and it's to see someone reference it here.
 
Re: Art History...

great article but I had to force myself to finish it. reminded me too much of film school and i started dozing off again. i think the words citizen cane are like sleeping pills to me.
 
Re: Art History...

That's some of the most inspirational stuff I've read about lighting in a long time.

Thanks, Walter.
 
Re: Art History...

thanks walter. i've been thinking a lot lately about how all most low budget filmmakers are talking about right now is technology. Every since the DV boom, which has been great for us, the emphasis seems to be on gear and tricks. I would love to have more discussions on the art of film because if you are making somethign beautiful the technology is all secondary. this was great.
thanks
