    archived-videos Gunhand - A european western feature film (2017)

    I echo these sentiments wholeheartedly. Personal genre conflict aside, the production values look modern and polished. No denying well done in that regard.

    High action feature film

    I'd just like to add to this that the attachment of named/known talent has nothing to do with procuring a micro budget for an indie film. However, as someone (Walter B maybe?) mentioned, showing via proof of concept (or at the very least, for Christs sake, the production value of your pitch...

    cinematography musical technique in film?

    Oh my this is a̶b̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ used constantly. Every action movie I can think of in the last decade or so... and the music often coincides. Character is charging an opponent at normal frame rate, then suddenly jumps into the air with weapon/fist over their head as the film slams to a crawl and...

    iPhone Filmmaking. The New Indie?

    I came into a couple of iPhones and pretty much thought I had won the lotto. Did a bunch of shooting, editing in Premiere and was set to take on the world with my first serious short (approached 100% like a feature, trust me my credit card can still attest). A week before we began principal...

    Stunt Swords used in Inagaki/Kurosawa films?

    Looking for a straight definitive answer on either what was used or where to purchase directly. Not interested in DIY, similar alternatives or guesses and I am about two decades and a Japanese language class too late to ask the source. (RIP Yoshio Sugino) Too clarify I am not interested in the...

    Official Selection - Las Vegas Lift-Off

    This is very fresh and I'm still a little shocked (haven't announced it on my own socials yet), but "Shoot in Any Direction and You'll Hit a Bastard" just landed a much higher profile festival with international reach... and in my neck of the woods. Additionally, I've been asked by the...

    Official Selection - Zero Film Festival

    Though not our intention with this project, the peer recognition is still a nice thing. The location ain't too shabby either ;) Fest: http://www.zerofilmfestival.com/#!zerola/vzxjg Trailer: https://youtu.be/cpgw3oipdRI

    editing Colour correction before or after LUT? Premeire Pro CC

    Did you happen to shoot the footage using the cinestyle profile by any chance? If so there is a slightly more enhanced two-step LUT process available to you via PPro, but as it turns out it's not a very intuitive workflow because adobe jacked up the LookLabs process a bit. If you just shot with...

    Behind the Scenes Photographs

    On set in the Eldorado Valley (NV). The secret to good "filmic" exposures with DSLR's = Available light, followed by available light and then throw in some available light until you have a chance to crank up the available light. 'Shoot in Any Direction and You'll Hit a Bastard'

    editing LUTS for desert southwest

    As they describe it's the 2 step process as I mentioned. (Log). Linear is a single LUT, aka the workflow you would be used to more traditionally. This LUT takes your footage into a log space on the front end and then on the backend applies a second LUT that takes it to a film stock. What this...

    editing LUTS for desert southwest

    I work exclusively in the southwest deserts of Nevada. Bearing in mind that I am always going for a more venerable cinematic look I shoot (Canon 5D MKiii) with the Technicolor Cinestyle profile and then, IN POST, utilize a 2 LUT process from Look Labs. All of which is intuitive, integrated and...
