  1. Hi there! My graduate essay is on directing Thrillers (not horror movies such as Saw or Scream but thrillers like Psycho, The others, sixth sense, etc) and I desperately search for books, articles or essays on the subject. Any online or printed article or book about thrillers and Direction of Thrillers, even Cinematography on Thrillers would be a GREAT help! If anyone knows something please tell me! Thanks!
  2. Hi there! I'm going to shoot a short film, and the director wants lighting and color palete similar to the look of the golden age of Hollywood cinema (you know Marylin's movies and others). How can someone achieve that?
  3. Hi there. I'd like to ask you, if there is a steadicam for miniDV cameras, and how much it costs. Is there a chance to order one from the internet? Thanks...
  4. I've just watched Campion's "In the Cut", photographed by Dion Beebe and I was wondering how you can achieve this look ( you know, dark, saturated, vibrant reds, greens and yellows). Is something you can achieve with lighting, or something you can make in the post production. or maybe a combination of these two?
  5. Interesting question...where to begin? I'd say Roger Deakins (especially for his work on "the village") Emmanuel Lubezki ( for his extrodinary lyricism) Rodrigo Prieto (for doing great job with small budgets) Janusz Kaminski (for reinventing himself with each new picture) I also love the work of Bruno Delbonell in Amelie and A Very Long Engagemant and Seresin's and Pratt's works on Harry Potter 3, and Harry Potter 4. Oh, and Harris Savides for his work on Elephant, Birth and Last Days
  6. Hi there, Well, call me stupid, but since I never had a proper Cinematography teacher at the Univesity, I would appreciate a brief listing of lighting equipment for low (very low indeed) budget (digital) films. Am I asking too much? Well, just a brief list, somewhere to begin. The thing is I read the American Cinematographer magazine for over a year and I have some difficulties with the technical terms about lighting equipment. So if anyone could help I would be really grateful (By the way I'm from Greece, I hope my English won't shock you that much)
