Canon R5 Announced with 8k

I remember the old Polish teams from the 1970's with Tomaszewski, Szymanowski, Domarski and, naturally, Lubanski.

I also remember "Czterej pancerni i pies". So there.

At a first glance thought you meant Lubezki
You guys talking 'Soy Cuba', and I can't help but think the cinematography in that influenced Emmanuel Lubezki when he made films like "Song to Song".

Thanks man, yes it's in NYC. I think we were in Columbia University somewhere. This project/client is unique for me. In 2016, I was hired to shoot a music video for a 16-year old singer/songwriter when their previous cameraman was out of town. Her aunt, Liz, is a low-millionaire textiles heiress who lives in Manhattan and is married to a lawyer. Liz asks me if I can edit the video. Then she asks me if I can teach her video editing. I thought it would be 1 or 2 sessions at most but she hired me for 8-12 hour days at a decent rate for like once or twice a week thru 2018 to both sboot and edit for her and teach her how to do it as well. In 2019 we slowed down and she does like once a month now, or did before the pandemic. Best client I ever had. She's moved more into still photography and I set her up to shoot in her studio mostly without me (but I taught her everything she knows, as they say). Here's her IG: https://www.instagram.com/lizschneidercohen/

Wayward Cube features a cube sculpture made by an artist who has a studio in the same building Liz does. He's the painter you see in the video. Liz hired the cameramen and dancers, so it's not a pure collaboration (although it lacked any commercial outlet- that's the beauty of being an heiress.) I think she shot stills of the lead dancer at a live performance and that's how she found her and her troupe.

One of the things that seems difficult about filming an art piece or sculpture is the life it has. Seeing the dancers interact, and the camera moving through and around really brought the cube to life.
 
Lubezki's roots are in the old Russian Empire too. The Russian page lists him as "Lyubetski", which is the original pronunciation of the family name. Chivo's work on "Birdman" does have that "Soy Cuba" feel, except it's unlikely that Kalatozov and Urusevski had that much rehearsal time.
 
It's cool that DLD and NorBro are not native English speakers. I would have had no idea, you both write like Americans (or better).

I gotta check out these clips tomorrow but I'll just say Chivo is the man. I love his evolving long takes. I like his work more than Deakins, although Deakins has some of the best lighting designs. Chivo is very Kubrick
 
pretty interesting
