Roundup of Profound Cinematography Knowledge from the World's Best DPs

For those who are unfamiliar with these fantastic little videos, they are short “bite-sized” interviews with the most accomplished DP’s in the world, in which they expound on all sorts of questions about the art and technology of cinematography. Since we last wrote about these videos a couple of months ago, a veritable plethora of new videos have been published. So without any further ado, here’s Bruno Delbonnel, Sean Bobbitt, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Chris Doyle to drop some mad cinematography knowledge on you! One of the questions that is often asked by Cinefii is what advice these titans of cinematography would give to budding DP’s.

But now, Brian Eno is turning his efforts to something a little more downbeat – an hospital art installation designed to relax patients. The Montefiore hospital sits in the small town of Hove, in the UK. Even at a small establishment such as this one, the atmosphere can be hectic and stressful, which is exactly why the artist has installed “77 Million Paintings.” A display where color and shapes gently transform and melt into each other across 8 carefully arranged plasma screens. Software used by the display means that there is an almost never-ending combination of shapes and colors. If this isn’t enough, there is also a slightly more immersive option called “The Quiet Room” – a room featuring Brian’s music along with three panels that continuously change color. Jordan T.

Les meilleurs chef-opérateurs : Autres messages cinéma

Que des très gros noms célèbres pour ma part, je suis pas un fin connaisseur, mais pour les dernières années quatre géants pour lesquels je peux me déplacer même si le film est nul. Emmanuel Lubezki (La petite princesse, Sleepy Hollow, Les Fils de l'homme, Le Nouveau Monde...) Dans une décennie qui s'est gavée d'images sur-contrastées, et souvent mal (sans finesse, sans richesse, en automatique), c'est le seul qui me semble avoir produit une image à la fois séduisante, chiadée (noirs hyper denses), et à la fois vivante et intelligente.
