Les meilleurs chef-opérateurs : Autres messages cinéma Pour compiler un peu toutes les bonnes adresses, suite aux discussions de cet aprem. 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. (j'avais pas de capture pour cette scène, mais cette photo de plateau est assez fidèle)Bon, ça rend pas du tout justice à son travail (j'ai pas pris les exemples les plus subtils), mais pour l'instant pour moi c'est le plus grand. Roger Deakins (Barton Fink, Les Evadés, Le Village, Le Liseur, True Grit...) Harry Savides (The Game, Gerry, Birth, Zodiac...) Les Chefs-op de Pixar

In the history of film, the role of the cinematographer is an often neglected one, and yet they have been as important and influential as directors, writers and actors. To commemorate them, here is a list of the ten greatest and most influential cinematographers. You may also like our Top 10 Cinematographic Masterpieces.

Fausses photos vintages Smartphones, Hipstamatic, Instagram et réseaux sociaux ont changé notre rapport à la photographie. Nathan Jurgenson s'intéresse ici aux photos vintages devenues soudainement très "trendy". Billet initialement publié sur CyborgOlogy et repéré par Owni.eu Nathan Jurgenson, l’auteur de cet article, travaille sur une thèse concernant la documentation de la vie privée et les réseaux sociaux. Sauf mention contraire, tous les liens de l’article sont en anglais. 1e Partie : Instagram et Hipstamatic L’hiver dernier, pendant une violente tempête de neige, mes comptes Facebook et Twitter ont été inondés de photos enneigées. Les photos (comme celle ci-dessous) provoquaient immédiatement un sentiment de nostalgie et une sensation d’authenticité qui manque souvent aux photos numériques postées sur les réseaux sociaux. Dans cet essai, j’espère montrer comment les fausses photos vintages, en apparence banales, illustrent une tendance plus large dans les médias sociaux en général. Poètes et Scribes
Tom in America | Jordan T. Parrott : Cinematographer, Director of Photography, NYC Director: Flavio Alves Director of Photography: Jordan T. Parrott While I read this script, I fell in love with it. I thought it was well written and a definitely a project well worth my time. Flavio wanted someone you could breathe life into the imagery knowing the arduous time schedule. At a party for their 50th anniversary, Michael and Betty share that the secret to their happy marriage is that they have no secrets, but nothing could be further from the truth. Huge thanks to Justin Hawkins (1st AC), Brenden Bradley (2nd AC) Eliya Akbas (Media), Omar Addasi (Gaffer), Alberto T. The story mostly takes place at the couple’s house, located in Long Island, in the town next to where I grew up. For the image below; I was on a 35mm at a T2.8. Our beach scenes were located in Long Beach, NY. For the above grab frame, I had a 1.8 bouncing into a 4x pebble through a window with white curtains. Flavio and I wanted a very natural feel to this piece.
Pantone Traces 50 Years Of Color History [Infographic] Brian Eno‘s music which has been played around the world, including at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. He is also renowned for his light installations which have been beamed onto the Sydney Opera House. 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.” 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. Brian Eno
