This should be interesting. List the films and the cinematographers who shot them, that have had a profound influence on your own personal style. They do not need to be in any particular order. Post away. Here are mine: The Third Man (1949), Cinematography by Robert Krasker Apocalypse Now (1979), Cinematography by Vittorio Storaro There Will Be Blood (2007), Cinematography by Robert Elswit

Reduser is not owned by Jim or Red, it is an offshoot of dvxuser. The moderators are not Red employees and sometimes, they do strange things. Jim and co are not all stuck up. There is a thread going on now where Jim has applauded Arri and the Alexa program and hopes that more companies will join in the digital cinema revolution. What Jim is tired of is all the pointless 5D vs. Red comparisons that turn into food fights. The other camera thread was eliminated not because Jim wants to silence discussion but because users could not act civil. There seems to be an awful lot of red-bashing on this sight. Very surprising.

The most recent film I can think of is Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, shot with a Red using only available light. According to Steven, they only used artificial light in one scene (not sure which one). Trailer Link: I hated the film and found it boring as hell, but there were some good shots in there and it is a must see if you want to shoot using only available light.

This is what a split diopter looks like... As you can see in my first post, the tv set and wall behind the actor at the far left is out of focus while the wall behind the three men is sharp. Use split diopters with backgrounds that will not draw attention to this effect.

The DePalma effect you are talking about uses split diopters, most recently seen in Tarantino's Death Proof. They were also used in some of the Star Trek films.
