Michael Schmucker
Producer, Cinematographer, Animator
Founded LampHouse Films in 2009. I love creating beautiful visuals, through cinematography and motion graphics animation. I thrive when stretching myself creatively.
I can't emphasize production design enough! We produced a pre civil war period short film, and I was the DP. We were on a very tight budget, but I was determined to keep my equipment costs at a bare minimum, to keep the budget in the production design. Because I knew if what was on screen looked good to begin with, my job would be so much easier. You can watch the film's trailer here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/carrymehome.
I think you meant Dead Alive, not Evil Dead...
Effect, not Affect in the title...
I was under the impression these new regulations were way more lenient than the previous laws for commercial use. I was surprised to see that this article sees them as more strict than before. I'm pretty sure you had to basically get a pilot's license to fly commercially!
Revenant was shot on digital.
EVA1 is just so much lighter than the URSA. That fundamentally allows me to move faster, and get more shots (and thus more good shots). Ursa file sizes are also insane...
