  1. Saying Claudio Miranda didn't deserve the Oscar or saying that he doesn't appreciate the VFX team is ridiculous. Yes, the VFX companies are not payed enough. Yes, they shouldn't have cut off the mic. That was all wrong and unfair, but Claudio Miranda had nothing to do with it. He did his job and in the opinion of the academy, he did it better than anyone else. Though he was not filming actual sunsets, he still had to mimic the look of a sunset with his lighting. He had to mimic the look of Day, Night, Sunrise, Sunset and more, all while being limited to shooting in a water tank. A DP has to overcome a lot of obstacles throughout a production and sometimes having VFX-heavy shots make the job of the DP more difficult rather than making it easier like most people think. His job was to make those scenes look believable even though they are being shot in a water tank on a blue screen. I think he not only accomplished that, but also made the cinematography of Life Of Pi memorable. And this is coming from a huge Roger Deakins fan haha
  2. I was wondering how they did a few In-camera effects in this video: 1.How did they make the the camera shake at 1:41-1:42 In the video? 2.How did they do the flare at 0:46-0:48 In the video? 3.How did they do the "mirror effect" in-camera at 2:03-2:05 in the video? I watched the behind-the-scenes and they used something to do the effect, but I have no idea what it is or how it works. You can see it at 2:24 in this video:
  3. For #1, are you saying they shot the mirror instead of where the artists were actually standing?

  5. Can it be done with lights? Would it look the same?
  6. Does anyone know how they lit this? It seems like they are reflecting light of the lake but I'm not sure. Go to the video to get a better look at it: http://rivetingentertainment.com/thework/musicvideos/new_boyz_chris_brown_better_with_lights_off.htm Any help would be appreciated
  7. . Wow, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for helping me understand it better. For some reason I thought that you had to take the light source further away to achieve the "Softer" look. Do you know where I can purchase the type of diffusion you mentioned?
  8. I was looking at images of The Dark Knight and I found this picture. It gave me a better look at how the scene looked off camera. It looks like one source of light which looks like it has some type of diffusion in front of it. Does anyone know what type of diffusion is used for a scene like this and where I can get it? I've used softboxes, but it still does not look as soft as this. Can anyone help?
  9. Please let me know what you liked and what I can do better. I am always trying to get better and improve my skills. I am the Director of Photography on this project and I need to correct all the errors from this trailer so the final product will be better.
