So you decided to censor my last comment on how nepotism, being wealthy, being an attractive white female, and being "a specific ethnicity" is pretty much the new current way to become a successful DP in Los Angeles.
Look I ain't white, trust me, good amount of people have done their best to remind me that in middle of america and even today in Hollywood.
By censoring what I last said, you are perpetuating the issues at hand, and defending the individuals that are causing the problem in the current state of cinematography. Which funny enough, those folks you're defending don't take NFS seriously.
In fact, they make fun of NFS. Probably behind your backs at NAB and Cinegear when you have a representative on the floor . I've heard them do it, and I'm talking some of the higher ups and ASC cinematographers.
But yeah, sure, keep selling this poor man's Tony Robbins guide to becoming a cinematographer and censor the comments.
Tools are there to shoot anything you want, that's the beauty of tech. You don't have to be in Hollywood to be a DP.
But if you want to play within Hollywood waste land especially in LA you are literally going to the back of the line. Literally said this in another article.
What puts you ahead is:
1. Nepotism
2. Wealth
3. Quid Pro Quo / Being an attractive woman
4. Being the "right" race. Even though caucasian folks like to talk about how screwed they are in the industry because of affirmative action, know this: not all "minority" races are treated equally in the industry. No matter how liberal the folks in the studio system think they are, If you are latino, indian, native, especially male, your chances of success are much much lower, since the opportunities and help is almost non-existent.
These are things that are given a blind eye and not acknowledged to be said to this day by articles and organizations like the academy and ASC. You literally have to be in the industry to see the bs and politics. Hopefully though it gets brought up more and called out
Yes, affleck is right. But i mean that latest movie of his looks really bad
To answer the question of the article:
Yes, woke culture is definitely apparent in the sights and sounds poll.
And it's fake woke culture btw. Clearly there was barely latino inclusion. Just the same ol' what trends and makes us look good.
It's kinda annoying that other DPs are shut out from shooting on IMAX. Clearly hiring Hoyte was a safe option. Granted the guys work is beautiful, but I would like to see some new folks' vision. Kind of don't want to listen to the same musician all the freaking time....
Remove "What color science best fits the aesthetic of my project?"
Seriously, this idea needs to be done with. It's a pitch that is lied to by companies and youtubers. Almost all current digital cameras focused on cinema or even a camera like the a7siii that can have a drastically different look applied to it. Cameras do not have "a look" to them. https://www.yedlin.net/OnColorScience/
