It’s no surprise this video went viral. It presents the truth on your face! This video demonstrates that the camera is just a tool, and the single most important component of a camera, is the 12 inches behind it (which is your brain). All filmmakers — watch this video!
The not-so-important parameters are dynamic range, bit rate, and codec. Picture by Ermia Ramez A camera is just a tool
How many times did you hear this slogan? Well, this video proves the point of it, but in a very….cinematic way. Filmmaker Ermia Ramez shot this beautiful video on his Sony A7IV. The video has a tricky title: ”How this tiny Camera has Same quality as Arri Alexa?!”, but the title doesn’t do good with it, since this video needs a better title as it’s a gem for filmmakers.

Key to the ongoing conversations about Latino representation in the U.S. entertainment industry is the need for the diversification of stories, which in turn would breed valuable specificity. Rather than expecting one production to speak strongly to every single subset of the vast Latino community, projects should reflect the unique microcosms and experiences that speak to groups such as Cuban Americans in Florida, Mexican Americans in Los Angeles, or Dominican Americans in New York City.
Enter the multi-hyphenate Rudy Mancuso, whose charmingly inventive and loosely autobiographical feature directorial debut “Música” highlights the Brazilian American community of New Jersey’s Ironbound neighborhood. In addition to starring in the film as a fictionalized version of his younger self, the talented Mancuso — who started out making videos on the now-defunct app Vine before moving on to YouTube and live shows — co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Lagana and, fittingly, also created the integral music.

Música releases on Prime Video on April 4th, 2024.
I don’t know if what I’m about to state next will provoke reactions of shock or total indifference, but Rudy Mancuso was completely unknown to me until I watched Música. I was entirely unfamiliar with his apparently famous work on Vine and YouTube. Personally, Camila Mendes (Do Revenge) was the main ‘attraction’ of this film and who made me sit in front of the television, such is her talent and natural charm, but curiosity peaked when I realized that Mancuso was not only going to act but also direct, write, produce, and compose the score for what’s ultimately a movie based on his life.
Música tells the story of Rudy (Mancuso), a young man who has synesthesia – a perceptual phenomenon where stimulation of one sense leads to involuntary experiences in other senses, such as hearing a sound that evokes...

On the surface, “Música” feels like a very standard story about a talented guy who finds himself caught between two girls he likes, and — rather than be honest with them — starts dating both at the same time. Hilarity ensues. Thankfully, much like the fictional Rudy he plays here, the real Rudy Mancuso is more than meets the eye. His feature directorial debut is a smart and charming coming-of-age love story that is also a musical and such a good cinematic portrayal of synesthesia that it’ll make you forget all about the other, misbegotten attempts to thread the same needle (does anyone remember “August Rush”?).
We are in the era of social media movie directors, but the days of “Fred: The Movie” are thankfully gone. Between Bo Burnham’s “Eighth Grade,” and Danny and Michael Philippou’s “Talk to Me,” YouTube is starting to seem like a viable incubator for worthwhile film directors.

“Not even one Canon camera in that list,” said the readers right after we published the Emmy 2023 Camera Chart, showing zero Canon cameras used to shoot this year’s Emmy cinematography nominees. Although Canon is pretty much popular in the docu arena, why is it so weak in the narrative world? Does Canon need to pivot its strategy regarding Cinema Eos in order to attract more Dp to use its cameras in narrative productions?

Jonathan Goldstein's and John Francis Daley's new film "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" follows the hilarious adventures of a ragtag group of, well, thieves who were separated years before in a heist gone wrong. Edgin Darvis (Chris Pine) and Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) spent a few years in prison before escaping to find their old compatriots and return Edgin to his teenage daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman). They find that Kira has been living in luxury with Forge (Hugh Grant) a former conman who has become incredibly wealthy while his friends languished in prison. It's Forge did not come by his fortunes honestly, and indeed has made some shady deals with mysterious -- and clearly evil -- red wizards.
Because Forge is played by Hugh Grant, however, he comes across less like a calculating villain and more like an affable cad. He is one of the film's antagonists, but...

Hugh Grant has picked the hill he wants to die on: A “Notting Hill” Easter egg, to be exact.
The deadpan actor revealed during a Wired video alongside “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” co-stars Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez that he found the ending of 1999 rom-com “Notting Hill” to be “nauseating” due to a small detail director Roger Michell included.
“Notting Hill,” which has been considered by many a rom-com classic over the years, stars Julia Roberts as Anna Scott, a famous actress who falls for local British bookstore owner William Thacker (Grant) while filming on location. The final scene shows Anna cuddling with William on a park bench as he reads a novel, one that had a special meaning to late director Michell.
“In that nauseating moment on the bench at the end, I’m reading ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ by Louis de Bernières, which was going to be his next film,...

Hugh Grant is finding honor in opening up about losing his temper. The “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” actor admitted to getting angry at a woman on set whom he assumed was a studio executive. However, she was in fact a chaperone of a young child actor. Grant noted he did a “lot of groveling” after realizing his mistake.
“I lost my temper with a woman in my eyeline on day one,” Grant told Total Film (via Yahoo! Entertainment). “I assumed she was some executive from the studio who should have known better. Then it turns out that she’s an extremely nice local woman who was the chaperone of the young girl. Terrible. A lot of groveling… ”
Grant added, “I did a Christian Bale.”

Christian Bale is a great actor who, if his exceedingly rare interviews are to be believed, hates acting. Loathes it. Kinda wishes he'd never done it in the first place. But it's a living, and he's awfully good at it, so he keeps snagging multi-million paydays because it beats hosing down dumpsters out back of an East St. Louis Denny's.
Sometimes, his distaste for his profession, and the lesser talents with whom he occasionally comes into contact, turns into full-blown fury. You've probably heard his freak-out on the set of "Terminator: Salvation," where he goes nuclear on cinematographer Shane Hurlbut for futzing with his lights in the middle of Bale's take. While it's horribly unprofessional to excoriate a co-worker like this in any line of work, it's still a hilariously colorful dressing down. And somewhat understandable. If you find yourself making a half-assed Terminator movie directed by McG, you might be a tad on edge.

“His influence will never wane; there simply isn’t anyone who’s any good who isn’t standing on his shoulders.”
That’s what Steven Soderbergh wrote about Gordon Willis, the cinematographer who changed the American cinema forever with his work on Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather.” Though other filmmakers had used some of the same techniques as Willis — John Ford and Gregg Toland made extensive use of practically motivated light sources on “The Long Voyage Home,” and many noir films experimented with placing their characters in darkness — the revolution didn’t really take hold until he applied the approach to what became one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful movies of all time.
“The Godfather” celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and Willis’ work continues to inform the ways in which cinematographers approach their work; look no further than Greig Fraser’s character and psychology-driven lighting on “The Batman” for proof.

— if audiences can get past the conceit that an attractive, self-respecting woman would be so desperate for a boyfriend that she’d stick around after a potential beau pulls a despicable deed by “catfishing” her. For those who find that completely implausible even by dumbed-down genre standards, the remainder is hard to love. The ensuing shenanigans not only do our heroine a massive disservice by letting men manipulate her agency — they also cause us to question what exactly we’re rooting for when the perky protagonist stoops to equally lowdown behavior.

My generation has been educated in an entirely different way from filmmakers of the past. For many young filmmakers, YouTube channels, Blu-Ray special features, online blogs, and podcasts have taken the place of summer camps and even traditional film schools. My own endeavor into filmmaking started at 6-years-old, in the golden age of online content.

Hong Kong cinema expands its borders once more and brings us a new fast paced action/adventure film, starring the one and only Andy Lau and international known French actor Jean Reno. “The Adventurers” is the latest film by Stephen Fung, and it was known for some time to be a emake of the classic John Woo’s flick “Once a Thief”. The plot is, in spirit, very similar, but it is not a remake in its whole, just an action flick with a similar plot that plays in the same league.
“The Adventurers” is about a thief who has just been released from prison. Then, he brings together a team of professionals to make a final big score which will make them millionaires. The job is simple: steal the important jewel “The Rope of Life”, the last of the three pieces that form the invaluable Gaia necklace.

Terminator: Salvation definitely wasn't Christian Bale's finest moment. The movie started out with a decent concept but was executed terribly by director McG. On top of the mediocre level of filmmaking, it was also the moment where Bale completely blew up at one of the crew members and started yelling at him and the crew. Like I said, this wasn't Bale's finest moment. If you want a little reminder of that, you can listen to it here.
During a recent interview with The Playlist, Bale opened up about his time working on Terminator: Salvation and his "enormous regrets". Not only did he talk about how the film project went from bad to worse, but he also reflected on his foul-mouthed tirade. Things just didn't pan out for the film the way he was hoping:
"I said no three times. I thought that the franchise…I went ‘Nah, there’s no story there.

If all had gone to plan, the fourth Terminator movie, Terminator: Salvation, would have kickstarted a fresh trilogy. Directed by McG and starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, things did not go to plan however. If anything, the film remained more notable for Bale’s verbal attack on director of photography Shane Hurlbut, that was recorded and released online.
Bale's been looking back on Terminator: Salvation in a new interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, and sharing some of his regrets.
Admitting that he first said no to appearing in the film three times before accepting, Bale recalled that “it was an unfortunate series of events involving the writers’ strike, involving Jonah Nolan, who was able to come on, and really start to write a wonderful script, but then got called away for...

When George A. Romero died in July, the world mourned a legendary filmmaker whose work proved to be so influential that the repercussions of his 1968 feature length debut, Night Of The Living Dead, can still be seen in cinema today. Indeed, Romero is often heralded as the ‘father of the zombie film,’ and with good reason – that debut feature created an entirely new sub-genre within the realm of horror, and made it the one of the most groundbreaking and subversive releases of its time, to boot.
As you may know, Romero’s son, Cameron, is also a filmmaker, and has a prelude to his father’s movie in the works – titled Rise Of The Living Dead – about which he has just given an update.
To recap, the younger Romero began an Indiegogo campaign in 2014 to fund the production of his script, which was then titled Origins. That fundraising campaign was successful,...

Ah, the Halloween season. The weather’s cooling down, the sun’s setting earlier, the leaves are browning and pumpkins are being carved for decoration and pies. It also means you’re sure to find a couple of new scary movies trying to make their genre marks while holding their own against the classics. And while Hollywood is currently focused on the horror of lascivious producers, Netflix and director McG are focused on getting their fantastical little yarn called The Babysitter out to thrill and make you laugh. The success rate of that, unfortunately, isn’t what it should be.

Acting in a blockbuster is not all candy and sunshine. With hundreds of millions of dollars riding on the film’s success, a lot of pressure can be placed on the crew which is then transferred to the actors. That’s not to say that this is a frequent thing, but it has occurred enough to the point where it’s burst in sudden ways, such as George Clooney and David O. Russell’s fist fight during the filming of Three Kings or Christian Bale’s infamous rant against cinematographer Shane Hurlbut on the set of Terminator Salvation.
What tends to really happen, though, is things change during production. What someone signed on to do initially was altered while filming and set the actor on a different course without them even knowing about it until it was too late. This happens more often then we’d like to think, especially...

We’ve spoken to d.p. Shane Hurlbut about camera tests and other matters before. In this video, you can see him in action: with a model in the foreground, he sets about messing with c-stands, toppers, and other tools to systematically create the illusion of a latticed window shadow behind her. Light is systematically managed and reduced for detail when Hurlbut decides he doesn’t want it to spill onto the floor, which is exactly what thoughtful light manipulation (with an equipment budget) is all about.

Hurlbut also reveals what he calls “the keys to the city”: how he conducts lighting tests with actors before production starts. Filmmaker: How did the “The Illumination Experience” come about? Hurlbut: Five years ago I started on this mission of sharing. I felt like mentoring was dead in this business.

I first saw cinematographer Shane Hurlbut speaking at a trade show held in New York City in 2010 hosted by Canon. Hurlbut had just finished shooting Act of Valor, shot predominately using the Canon 5D Mark II, and he burst on stage with enough energy to power the building. At the time I wrote that he was “loud, in your face, cracking jokes while dashing about the stage,” but it was also clear he had a passion both for the gear and for sharing information. Since then Hurlbut has lensed the pictures Deadfall, Need for Speed, and the currently in […]...

New Need For Speed movie received mostly bad reviews from major critics. DreamWorks Pictures released their new action flick, "Need For Speed" into theaters this weekend, and the top movie critics have submitted their reviews. Unfortunately, for the film, it seems that most of the reviews doesn't fall in its favor, getting an overall 38 score out of a 100 across 27 reviews at Metacritic.com. We posted a few snippets from some of the critics (below). The movie stars: Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots, Dominic Cooper, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek, Harrison Gilbertson, Scott 'Kid Cudi' Mescudi, Michael Keaton, and Dakota Johnson. Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun-Times, gave it a 63 score, stating, "The best parts of Need for Speed are the actual racing and chasing sequences — a true thrill ride for the audience as the story unfolds." Michael Phillips at the Chicago Tribune, gave it another 63. He stated: "When the actors are in cars,...

"Need For Speed" is several different movies at once, and most of them are very stupid. There is a rumor that George Gatins wrote the script for this film, but I find that hard to believe after sitting through the film. Sure, there are some people and there are some things that happen to them, but the only real reason the studio gave director Scott Waugh cameras was so he could film some admittedly amazing car stunt sequences. Waugh earns his action credibility honestly. He comes from a family of stunt performers, and he's been doing stunts in film since the early '90s himself. When he says that he wanted to make an ode to the great stunt driving movies like "Bullitt" or "The Blues Brothers" or "Smokey and the Bandit," I take him at his word. There are some very well-shot and well-staged car scenes in the film,...

Aaron Paul stars in the high-octane videogame adaptation, Need For Speed. Here's Ryan's review...
Once upon a time, videogame adaptation Need For Speed could have been a Tom Cruise movie, and not just because its title also happens to be a line from Top Gun. As stand-up comedian Rich Hall once pointed out - brilliantly - in one of his routines, all of Tom Cruise's 80s and 90s movies were broadly the same, and can be summed up thus: “He's a race car driver. A pretty good race car driver, too. Until he has a crisis of confidence and can't race cars anymore. Then he meets a good-looking woman who talks him into being a better race car driver."
Need For Speed’s petrol-head protagonist Tobey Marshall (Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul) is a hero in the Tom Cruise mould: he’s a race car driver.

Christian Bale has, somewhere along the line, picked up entirely the wrong reputation. Sure, he throws himself into his work with an intensity that can be dizzying to watch, and he's still living down the infamous recording that leaked from the set of "Terminator: Salvation" when he had a meltdown at cinematographer Shane Hurlbut. But the Christian Bale that I've seen when I've interviewed him over the years and the Christian Bale that is spoken of by his collaborators is not the guy who we see in those few human moments that people tend to judge him by. When we sat...

To select a camera for Scott Waugh's street racing film "Need For Speed," cinematographer Shane Hurlbut pitted nine cameras against one another in dozens of tests simulating every possible shooting condition. Then, Hurlbut had each camera’s footage color graded and presented with a 4K projector on a 42 foot screen. Hurlbut didn’t tell anyone working on the project, including the director, which camera was which. It would be a blind test. Eventually, Hurlbut revealed the details, but the unanimous, final decision was based on the picture alone. Needless to say, Hurlbut’s "Need For Speed" test is a cinematographers’ dream– to have both the budget and time to test nine high-end cameras. This test underscores an unprecedented change in the cinematographer’s job – understanding how a multitude of cameras and post-production workflows function together.

Tightly paced direction and a stellar cast can’t salvage the lame new crime thriller Deadfall. Though it functions as a diverting 95-minute machine, it’s got a half-baked script and a story that vanishes from your mind 10 minutes after the credits roll. Eric Bana is Addison, a mad dog killer on the lam with his sister Liza (Olivia Wilde) after a Michigan casino heist leads to a car crash that kills their third partner. Addison murders a state trooper and, with a deadly blizzard swirling around them, the two split up in the snowy woods and make a run for the Canadian border. Addison kills an Indian and steals his snowmobile. Liza flags down Jay (Charlie Hunnam) who’s on the lam himself, and a love affair immediately blooms. Police woman Hanna (Katey Mara) is the only one on their tails and all parties wind up at a Thanksgiving...

Austrian filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky is best known for his movies Anatomy and Anatomy 2, and he won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for The Counterfeiters. His latest directorial effort is Deadfall, a crime drama which stars Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde as brother and sister who have robbed a casino and are now on the run. The movie has earned high marks for its beautiful cinematography, courtesy of Shane Hurlbut which captures the snowy landscapes of Canada like few others have before, and Bana delivers a terrifying performance as a man determined to make it across the border at any cost.
Throughout Deadfall’s 95 minute running time, Ruzowitzky maintains a high level of intensity right up to the movie’s violent conclusion. Recently, I got the opportunity to speak with him one on one when Magnolia Pictures held a press conference for the film at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

New York – A modern outlaw Western that brings Southern Gothic flavor to the wintry North, Deadfall is slicker and more compelling than its overdetermined script has any right to expect. Headlining Eric Bana in wryly subdued psycho mode, the sinewy genre piece builds to a bloody Thanksgiving dinner faceoff over roast goose and pumpkin pie. Magnolia might want to consider ditching the title for something less generic and positioning this as a nasty slice of holiday counter-programming.

Warning: The following post contains angry, politically incorrect, and often drunk celebrities…and A Lot of swearing!
With the news that Community show runner Dan Harmon has made steps to bury the hatchet with funnyman Chevy Chase, the case of the celebrity rant has become part of the cultural forum yet again. Following a recent spat with his boss, Chase left a “drunken” voicemail to let Harmon – in no uncertain terms – what he thinks of him. Harmon then played the recording to a select audience, one thing led to another, and now its all over the web.
The Celebrity meltdown has always be the source of amusement and humor. Not because its fun to laugh at other’s misfortune – which it isn’t. But rather because people losing it and unleashing a tirade on tape, is always a refreshing display. Celebs are always so worried about their ‘image’ that we...

So, the audio of Chevy Chase’s voicemail message for Community executive producer Dan Harmon is making the rounds today, complete with the sound of people laughing as they listen to the actor calling the showrunner a “fat f—,” “sh– stinko” and “g–damn bad writer.” This was reportedly in response to Harmon leading chants of “f— Chevy” at a wrap party, after Chase walked off the set before finishing the last episode. Such antics, by both Chase and Harmon, would have seemed a whole lot more shocking a few years ago. Before Charlie Sheen. And Christian Bale. And… well, let’s just go through our favorite examples of celebrities telling off their bosses is a way none of us would ever dare. Then vote and tell us which you think was the most outrageous.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Call of Duty: The Movie. Act of Valour may look like the sort of pro-military visual orgy that Michael Bay would more often than not end up as producer on, but it in fact has another gimmick up its sleeve that is altogether its own. The entire cast of war heroes in this film are in fact real Navy Seals, the very soldiers who have inspired countless shoot ‘em up video games, and as is to be expected, their involvement is both a blessing and a curse for this stylish yet rote action war film.
Narrative does not figure much in Act of Valour. The crux of the plot consists of several garden variety missions which could have been ripped from just about any level in a counterpart video game, be it extracting a kidnapped contact or finally, stopping a gang...

You might be wondering why we would be covering a film like Act of Valor on our website. Not only do we cover horror films, which is pretty much our bread and butter, but we like to cover action films which we think covers the “fantastique” portion that we mention on the site. Also, there is no doubt that the advertising of this film is a obvious exploitative method. Out of everyone I asked who was excited about the movie, none of them could tell me what they thought the film was about. The only reason why people would want to see it is because it looks like it will be action packed and that the advertising tells them that it has real, active Navy SEALs starring in the film. While you might hear some people claim the film is a modern propaganda film, I beg to differ.

The Navy SEALs got a massive PR boost when the killing of Osama Bin Laden was announced. Not that the special forces team really needed a boost, given that the SEALs are one of the most highly-regarded military teams in the world. But the boost came regardless, and one of the aftereffects is that quite a few companies want to make movies or TV about the team and the operations it undertakes. While Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal seemed to have the jump on everyone [1] with their film that has been referred to as Kill Bin Laden (not the final title [2]), it turns out that another SEALs film has already been shot, and Relativity just bought it for an early 2012 release. (Think: President's Day.) The film is called Act of Valor (once called I Am That Man) and it stars actual Navy SEALs. Some images from set and more info are after the break.

A few weeks ago I got an invite to see a NYC test screening with just the information of Aov and it involving someone who worked on 300. Due to not normally attending these types of screenings and having absolutely zero interest upon further examination, I turned it down. A new report on Deadline and a wealth of new details are making me rethink that decision.
The film, a “mission movie involving Navy Seals,” is titled Act of Valour (or Act of Valor on IMDb) and stars actual, active duty members of United States Navy’s sea, air and land teams, while also being backed by the military. Written by 300‘s Kurt Johnstad (300) and directed by Mike “Mouse” McCoy and...

Christian Bale has his next project set in stone: According to Variety, the actor will re-team with The Machinist director Brad Anderson for Concrete Island, in which he’ll play “a wealthy architect who finds himself stranded on a section of fenced-off wasteland in West London and is forced to survive on only what’s in his crashed car and what he’s able to find.” You know what this means, PopWatchers: Bale will surely be going Method.

It’s awards season which means, among other things, that those in the movie industry must smile and make nice with their enemies and competitors while cameras are rolling. We all saw the nominees’ thin, tight-lipped smiles as host Ricky Gervais roasted them at this year’s Golden Globes ceremony. What else can they do? The world is watching.
However, on the movie set, it’s a different ballgame. Actors and directors may say everyone was a joy to work with during interviews. However, tensions run high on-set and creative types can be explosive by nature. The film set is where bridges are burned and arch-nemeses are made. As proof, we look at the 10 most-explosive on-set fights (that we know about).

Actors can be a delicate breed. Ruffle their feathers and some are liable to stomp off to their trailer for the rest of the day.
Then there are actors like Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. These guys don’t get “miffed.” They get raged. Step on their lines and the police might have to be called. And well, that’s part of the reason we love them.
With the pair co-starring in the new film “The Fighter,” the levels of testosterone on set must have reached Ufc levels — it’s a wonder Amy Adams didn’t grow a beard. These rugged fellas don’t seem like the types to shy away from a fight. So why not pit them against each other in a totally scientifically valid comparison that will decide, once and for all, objectively, who’s best?

AMPAS used to hide their membership roster like the vote tallies but in the information age, they've opened up. Now we get to see the whole list of new invitees each year. I wonder how they keep they're membership around 6,000 given how many people they invite annual. Maybe enough people reject the offer, stop paying their dues, or pass from this mortal coil each year to balance it out?
You can read the full list of recipients at Indiewire, but as is the Film Experience tradition, we like to pinpoint the newest (potential) members whose future ballots we'd most like to see. So let's have at it.
