THE REAL STEVEN SPIELBERG

🗞 Yesterday I went to buy myself a hamburger that I allow my fat ass only about once a month or so. When it was time to take the finished package ( since I prefer to eat at home ) the cashier lady called me "Steven". I blushed and felt both amazing and embarrassing. No, she doesn't know that I do movies and that soon a movie of mine comes out. She has no actual idea who I a ...

CAMERAS AND STUPID SUBSCRIPTIONS

🗞️ When hearing that I don't have a smartphone, a lot of people ask me, how the hell then I take pictures. And I always answer that I have a dedicated camera specifically for this. I often argue that it's a way better way to take pictures. You know... The sensor is most likely better. The lens is most likely better. As so on...

Pushed myself and after getting a cut of the documentary episode sent off for review I recorded and almost fully edited a lighting diagram video. It *should* be a bonus video between this Friday and next Friday.

Had someone comment on a video today to say "this is exactly what I was looking for" and that made me so happy! My videos are more of lessons & info than gear PR.

In the Maverick vs. Viper dogfight from “Top Gun,” Maverick’s F-14A Tomcat goes head to head and produces a vapor cloud…

…which is just visual frippery. The F-14 is literally just dumping JP-5 #aviation fuel because director Tony Scott thought it looked cool. #Filmmaking

In 2019 I worked as co-producer on a short film, Blank Shores. Key pieces of the film were shot at No.1 the Thames, an old grain tower off the coast of Kent that's just been sold. It's a fantastic location which brought with it some interesting challenges for filming and gave us stories to remember.

The film Tautuktavuk (What We See) has won the Amplify Voices Award at #TIFF.

The film is co-directed by Carol Kunnuk and Lucy Tulugarjuk, who also play the leads.

It’s about domestic violence in Igloolik, #Nunavut, healing in #Montreal, and being far away from #family by necessity.

The jury said the directors “powerfully capture truth in its most unadorned form” and reflected “a rare purity” in their #filmmaking approach.

Just downloaded the Blackmagic Design camera app, and I have to say I'll never again miss Filmic Pro, which is now subscription only. I don't immediately see how to record in any kind of LOG color scheme, but since the app does allow ProRes 422 10 bit recording, I suppose it's just a matter of importing a LUT that goes from Rec.709 to something like Sony Slog, or Arri, or.... I'll be playing with this in the coming days and will post my results. I once again applaud #Blackmagic. #Filmmaking

Born of a concert pianist and Navy Seal. I pursued jazz sax through childhood, then, as a young man, Architecture & the Arts. This formal education led to early career adventures in feature film production. Have been doing my own thing since 1994. From age 10, I have trained to pursue understanding of the place where mind and body intersect. #50ten40 #meditation #neuroscience #martialart #mindbody #art #artist #creator #maker #weld #tigweld #migweld #torchweld #metalsmith #fabricate #design #film #filmmaking #iatse44 #union #encaustic #architecture #permaculture #permatecture #instructionaldesign #photography #istillshootfilm #photorealism #darkroom #mindbody #learning #edutech #fedi22 #foss #floss #opensource #loq #cio #cto #author #writing #scot #ClanLamont #FollowFriday

Also, it's an excellent study for filmmakers. Besides the 92-minute single-shot ( !! ) The director has really made the most of the story. He started with a 22-minute short film, got the feature made and distributed, and now a limited series is in post-production. He's done a tonne of interviews on his process. Excellent rabbit hole to go down.

THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS poster. Neo holding his hand out, backed by his allies. Over this the following words:

THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS Is One of the Greatest Blockbusters of the 21st Century

There's a good chance you disagree with me, but a deeper look at the metatextual work and the uncomfortable things it has to say about Hollywood, audiences and our culture today might change your mind

I know this is mostly a lot of hype and advertising, but there's also a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes footage in these videos.

'Meditations on Mortality and Cinema: Kurosowa, Scorsese, and Friedkin'

A bittersweet cinematic awakening awaits many filmmakers as they approach the end of their lives.

“Just when you learn how to do it, you're too old. Except in your dreams."

Director William Friedkin looking at the camera, holding up a finger as if to say, "No, no, no."

When modern day filmmakers make period films, they regularly go to epic lengths to successfully replicate the visual LOOK of films of the period they’re going for. I just wish someone would try that with the style of the acting. This wouldn’t obviously work for everything, but I imagine it could be really fun!

Another #intro #tldr since we have so many newcomers from the #TwitterMigration, here's the #introduction again. Welcome! I share my process more than products. If you want products, see my websites. Born of a concert pianist and Navy Seal. I pursued jazz sax through childhood, then, as a young man, Architecture & the Arts. This formal education led to early career adventures in feature film production. Have been doing my own thing since 1994.

Many years ago I made a short film with my kids. My 5 and 7 year olds helped me build a small city for my 1 year old to terrorize like Godzilla.

It’s called “Notiszilla” because the baby’s name is Otis and a family-friend’s kid was calling him “Notis.”

The film catches Otis’ first sight of the city. He was allowed to roam free without guidance in a single take. It’s set to John Zorn’s “Kol Nidre.”

A short film made with AI and the features of real actors. I think this is the sort of thing actors are on strike about.

A curiously odd, funny and compelling mashup.

#filmmaking #filmmastodon

It took me a long, long time to learn how to give and to take creative notes. There should be a required class on this subject taught by experts! It would have saved me a lot of grief, and it would have made me a lot more likable in my chosen career! Or at least less UN-likable!

(And, to be sure, goodness knows there are people out there you absolutely would NOT want teaching such a class!!!)

'Seriously, WTF Died Inside You That You Could Hate INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY?'

This article is not specifically about INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY. DIAL OF DESTINY is but one example of how so many of us have collectively ruined what was one of the most important communal experiences in American culture and in most cultures around the world: going to the movies.

Hi, I'm a young independent filmmaker chasing silver-screen dreams from Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Have been jaded with the direction of Film & Art over the past decade. Hopefully Mastodon is an attempt at a fresh start at creating a space for thoughtful, sincere film.

I'll be using using this to connect with other artists and support my own films from time to time.

Cinema isn't dead yet.

'The Best Note Sarah Polley, Writer-Director of WOMEN TALKING, Ever Received'
 
While developing her Oscar-winning screenplay for WOMEN TALKING, Polley was given a note by producers Dede Gardner and Frances McDormand that transformed her script and how she writes. It's a note all screenwriters – and writers, in general – should memorize.

There's a good chance you'll disagree with my take, but a deeper look at the film, why it exists, and the metatextual conversation it’s having about Hollywood, audiences, and our culture today might change your mind – and teach you a thing or two about how to push your own art to extraordinary places.

I vaguely remember tooting about this before but does anyone have some N-log sample footage I could have to test some video editing tools? Like a 10 second clip of something boring would be enough. Boosts appreciated

'The Resident' creator Amy Holden Jones turned down editing E.T. for Steven
Spielberg so she could direct her first film before she was even 30. It's one of many bold decisions in her trailblazing career that would eventually see her become an A-list screenwriter and major TV player.

This is my new Q&A with her (part 1 of 2).
 
Part 2 posts June 7th EST/PST.
