Article Comment – Here's How the Sony a7S III Holds Up in a Production Environment

Was that Tim Prindle as one of the players? I was in a karate class with him 10+ years ago! He's a great guy. Tell him I said hi :)

EDIT: I should look at the credits. Fun! How great to see Tim randomly here!

Article Comment – RED Releases Komodo Price Before Its Final Specs

Hitch would have ADORED the digital revolution, especially when it comes to CGI. He was constantly experimenting with new and different motion picture quality systems, from Vistavision to 3D. I imagine his work would be similar to that of Iñarritu or Cuaron - freed from the encumberances of a ginormous camera limited by physical space, he'd really let loose. Welles too - it would finally be cheap enough for him to get what he needed to make his work without a studio system, and people would see it - he'd be doing stuff similar to Soderbergh, making movies on his own terms with cheap equipment and getting Netflix deals and alternative distribution ideas.

I imagine Kubrick would probably be more of a camera purist (he used the outdated Mitchell BNC camera throughout his career and eschewed widescreen ratios because they didn't use the entire amount of available film stock), but who knows? Maybe he'd be like Steve Yedlin, Rian Johnson's cinematographer, whose extremely deep analysis of film vs digital is Kubrickian in its attention to detail and mastery of the technological process. Kubrick might have consulted with someone like Yedlin and then ordered custom digital cameras from a company like Red, much like Fincher did for The Social Network. Kubrick probably would have enjoyed having high speed internet and an editing workstation and dubstage in his home since he hated to travel. I also think some of the new Mandalorian/Unreal Engine virtual location tech would have been very appealing to Kubrick, who used rear projection with similar results in 2001. And he would have LOVED gimbals the same way he loved the Steadicam when it premiered. It would have been very interesting to see them all do stuff with these tools.

Article Comment – How John Krasinski's 'SGN' Pulls Off Its Highly Entertaining and Uplifting News Show

I don't have a very strong opinion on the show (I think it's more or less harmless) but it is a good example of how this "lofi" aesthetic they do is actually quite artificial and constructed. There is a massive team on this - they even have an OMF export and a sound mixer! - and they're packaging it aesthetically (and thematically) as some kind of homespun DIY project. I don't think it's morally wrong or anything, but it's important to understand that not all media that looks homemade/little-guy-ish actually is, and it's important to recognize when we are being sold an aesthetic that isn't necessarily reflecting reality.

Article Comment – How (and Why) I Made an Indie Sci-Fi Feature Film for $30K

Your brother Blaise is a friend of mine from film school - I saw him a few months ago when the film was in town for a festival, and the passion that he spoke about this work and your obvious passion here is for me one of the big takeaways - You guys really believe in your vision and your work, and because of that distributors want to see it. No one will care about your film more than you, so you guys are setting the bar nice and high. Congratulations on your film and your success! :)

Article Comment – An Essential Back-to-School Shopping List for Filmmakers

For me the one book every film student needs to read is "On Film-making" by Alexander Mckendrick, written by the greatest film teacher of all time, filled with totally amazing ideas that even veteran filmmakers would benefit from. Most film books are crap. This one is sensational.

Honorable mention: "Directing Actors" by Judith Weston, the single best book on how to be an actors' director ever written.
