With the advent of color correction in FCS2, I’m sure fewer DIY-ers are concerning themselves with lighting gels. But digital color filters are still no match for the natural effect achieved by rigging up those thin sheets if plastic.
Of the three basic types of gels, color conversion gels may be the easiest to work with. These gels convert one color temperature of light to another...
How to plan a fight scene
Hey, everyone, and welcome to the technical blog for Episode #17 (Kung Fu). I had the honor of working with Justin and John from Westhavenbrook on this one. This will be a very short technically blog considering we didn't actually build anything. I will try my best to write down and organize the wisdom John and Justin bestowed on me. Send in your butt...
In the last few weeks, for some reason, I have been bombarded with emails from friends and colleagues regarding Mumblecore . Maybe it was because of the New York Times article a few weeks ago, or The New Talkies screenings at the IFC Center, even the cover story in Filmmaker Magazine. That is all likely and possible, however I would like to think that it is because my contemporaries...
An adaptation of Pedro Almodovar's "All About My Mother" makes its West End (London's version of NYC's Broadway) debut on Sept. 4.
Before you cringe and moan "Why, Pedro, Why?," an article in Time Out London gives me reason to believe this adaptation hasn't gone the route of most film-to-theater conversions who copy the original word-for-word or inexplicably turn into a...

One of the keys to writing a screenplay that you can sell to your money folks and actors is having good descriptions of people and places. Sounds obvious - I know. All screenplays have some text that describes the main characters and important locations. The more scripts that I work on, the more I have come to realize that a good writer must dance a fine line between brevity and (in some cases)...

There's not much you can say about artists that they don't say in their work. Especially when you're writing underneath a video of the person explaining themselves, and why they do what they do. So, I guess all I have left is my humble opinion.
And IN my humble opinion, Jessica's work exemplifies what Vimeo is, and obviously, the people at Vimeo agree....
Summer is winding down and so are all the really great outdoor events scattered throughout the boroughs. While everyone else is going down to "the shore" for the long weekend, celebrate your New York-ness by sipping some brews on a rooftop and catching a great flick.
Everybody's favorite, "The Princess Bride," plays at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park on Aug. 30 as part of the
Amid the outcry over Mumblecore's overwhelming "whiteness" (until now), it seems as though Anish Savjani has been forgotten.
