I threw this together quickly for a job i applied for. Please let me know if you think there are any shots worth compltely dropping! Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJs9qPiyI2E

I was in the cinematography program over at SVA and found it to be overall pretty good. Their two cinematography teachers were very helpful, but like most things at film school you really learn everything by just going out and shooting-shooting-shooting. The equipment they have at SVA is decent as well, I shot my thesis on the SRII and was able to take out a ton of lighting and grip from the equipment office. I also went to SUNY Purchase for a couple of years and although the film program is alright the campus does not do much to foster creativity...Id stay away. Dont hesitate to send me a message if you have any specific questions about the program.

So Im shooting a limo scene using 7222 stock...I have a power invertor and I will only be able to run 400W through it to light the scene which will likely be done with a Kino Diva, and inkies or clip lights.... I want to be able to have a very shallow depth of field and shoot around a 2.8...but at the same time I would like to have high contrast in the scene. Using a red filter on the camera would block far too much light, but I was thinking I would just gel all of my lights with deep red.... The scene involved two grey suited caucasion actors....will the red gels have the proper effect Im going for??

My favorite B&W films to watch to steal shots and lighting setups from: TOUCH OF EVIL DARK PASSAGE MURDER MY SWEET CANE (of course) IN COLD BLOOD PERSONA THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
