Hello! I've made a Cinematography community on lemmy.world

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/212952

I noticed I wasn't able to find my community on your communities search, because no one on your instance has searched it yet. I'd appreciate if someone could give my instance a search just to federate it on your instance :) And of course, sub if you're interested in cinematography, movies, behind the scenes, etc.

If you happen to be a 1st Assistant Camera in the film industry, I've also made a community for us focus pullers (but all camera department are welcome)

Thanks for reading :)

My back left tire exploded on the freeway on the way to this gig and I had to get towed to the dealership then Uber to set. I was 2 hours late but made it just before they started shooting.

He's a funny dude, super chill. This was right before his unfortunate loss recently.

30ft Scorpio Crane over a western town for a feature film

We used it for the big sweeping town shots with all the extras and animals walking around. Looked like a real town.

Condor Crane lighting our night bridge scene with lightning in the background

The Gaffer brought the condor down once the lightning got too close for comfort because it's basically a giant metal lightning rod.

Western town for a feature film at Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA

This is the same place they filmed the western town scenes in Django Unchained and Once Upon in Hollywood, as well as dozens of other westerns. We shot here for about a week.

YaegerPro camera cart on a western feature film out in Lancaster, CA

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/195871

I was 2nd ACing this feature and this was my 1st's cart, but I just got my own YaegerPro as well. Best camera cart in the business, built like a tank and modular enough for any situation.

This is a nice edit that I like to come back to and watch from time to time, some really powerful imagery.

This thing is awesome. For reference (probably it's most recognizable use), that's how they did some of the shots in Kendrick's "Humble" music video. They literally control it with a look-alike Xbox 360 controller.

This was also a really easy day for me to 1st AC because the focus pulls are also programmable so I basically just did lens and filter swaps.

Did a lens test recently at Old Fast Glass and got to mess with Arri's new camera

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/182456

This thing is a beast! Lot of improvements, some new features that were "meh" (mainly the burnt-in noise textures, why not just do that in post with more flexibility?) The operator-side menu is a nice addition. Really wish they'd give us internal ND 0.3 already though.

I 1st AC'd a Chris Brown music video a few months later and we had the 35 as A-Cam on a technocrane with a Mini as B-Cam. That was fun, the camera is nice of course and performed well, though it took us about 25 minutes to find the only D-tap port located on the bottom of the camera.

This was my "run around downtown and don't let the cops see us filming without a permit" focus setup for a commercial

It worked, I rolled around with my pelicans, we got our shots and went home.

Cartoni Lamba build for a test prep day at Bokeh Rentals

We had fun playing with this Cartoni Lambda 25. It lets you spin the camera around quickly and easily using a wheel and momentum. Mounts to any mitchell receiver.
