Hey.

 

It seems to me that many straight lines in The Life Aquatic are bended, creating a slight curve, is this an artefact of anamorphic that is unavoidable? To be honest, I found it quite distracting at times.

 

Thanks.

the war movie

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

was shot on hd

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

its too light in the forest

Kristian says:

no

Kristian says:

it wasnt

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

my only complaint

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

otherwise, it looks like a lowbudget war movie

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

thats all

Kristian says:

yes

Kristian says:

but what is it

Kristian says:

that doesnt make it look strong

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

well

Kristian says:

i have some concerns

Kristian says:

hear me out

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

first of all, the lighting is not in tune with hte mood

Kristian says:

VERY TRUE

Kristian says:

i find it too green

Kristian says:

however

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

there is no sense of danger

Kristian says:

first shot in slow mo

Kristian says:

works great

Kristian says:

as a hand held shot

Kristian says:

however

Kristian says:

notice the 3rd shot

Kristian says:

its a static close up

Kristian says:

of some leaves

Kristian says:

and some people passing behind

Kristian says:

that is a bad shot

Kristian says:

that is one of the reasons it looks amateurish

Kristian says:

the shot with the military car

Kristian says:

that comes into the picture

Kristian says:

he should have it start inside the picture more

Kristian says:

its like the camera is watiting for it

Kristian says:

instead of just capturing it

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

the 3rd shot is bad because its not continuous with the other medium shots

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

its not a closeup, and its not a medium shot

Kristian says:

right

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

its in between

Kristian says:

its just bad

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

its an ungly shot

Kristian says:

yes

Kristian says:

do u agree

Kristian says:

abotu the car

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

yes

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

but thats being anal

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

(the car)

Kristian says:

ok lets move on

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

its just afew seconds

Kristian says:

2 shots after the car

Kristian says:

theres a close up of a solider

Kristian says:

which utilizes low key lighting

Kristian says:

it is a great shot

Kristian says:

but all the other shots should have been low key too

Kristian says:

well not necessarily

Kristian says:

melick is high key

Kristian says:

but they are too light in an ugly way

Kristian says:

for ths trailer

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

malick is high key

Kristian says:

the tilt of the picture of the soilder

Kristian says:

bothers me

Kristian says:

im not sure why

Kristian says:

its prolly just cos we have signs of amateurishness preivously

Kristian says:

so this one seems corny

Kristian says:

altho there is really nothing wrong with it

hugo.rodas@gmail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

which one

Kristian says:

its a tilt up

Kristian says:

of a static soldier

Kristian says:

i pressume it is a picture of a solider

Kristian says:

then u have the music kick in

Kristian says:

the camera lying int he grass

Kristian says:

the second shot in that sequence

Kristian says:

is a hand that lies in the grass

Kristian says:

the shot lasts too long

Kristian says:

it should be faster

Kristian says:

and the green is really ugly

Kristian says:

plus

Kristian says:

he has just punched up the music

Kristian says:

to be really dramatic

Kristian says:

and then he still uses a dissolve

Kristian says:

from shot to shot

Kristian says:

dissolve is soft and nice

Kristian says:

it doesnt work with the drama of the music

Kristian says:

from there on

Kristian says:

its very good

Kristian says:

all teh shots

Kristian says:

look great

i believe vincent gallo did that shot before the Warzowscki borhters

hi.

 

is it true that a low t-stop (say 2.8) is not as sharp as higher stops like 5.6? why is this? are most films shot at one particular t-stop and lit accordingly to keep sharpness?

 

thanks!

thanks and sorry i didn't check that post first

hi.

 

as far as i understand, wide angle lenses have better depth of field than "less wide" (do you call them SHORT?) - i'm wondering what the technical reason behind this is?

 

thanks!

thanks!

hi.

 

mostly i see the fuji and kodak names used when discussing film stocks. but i wonder, are they the only ones who provide film stock?

Hi.

 

This might be a stupid question, but if I have a wider lens ) say 16mm, will there be less visible vibration than on a 80mm if i'm say, driving in a car?

 

Thanks.
