Davi Silveira

Thank you Abhilash, I was trying to make it very Naturalistic, in fact those aren't even actors. The couple in the film is actually a couple in real life, they know nothing about acting. The hardest part was trying to get them to pretend fight or argue. :) Thanks again for the kind words Davi Silveira www.davi-silveira.com Cinematographer

Philip, thank you for your comments. You brought up a very good point to me in expressing gratitude to David Mullen ASC. I just recently signed up to the site and this is in fact my very first post. I couldn't believe that David Mullen replied to my little post.. it made my day and I constantly re-read his comment looking for further secrets... ha I'm always fascinated at the inner workings of the mind, our thoughts as cinematographers and filmmakers. I believe our love for this expressive art makes our eyes and heart merge into one. Phillip I'm grateful for your comments and all the comments made by professional and students in this blog. This site is awesome! I'm not sure what EWA means I've tried looking it up but to no avail. I assume you didn't really like the field shots due to their wide nature?? I will keep a closer look to the distortion regard and shaky camera. btw, I agree with the shot's being a bit too fast.. shame, due to the shakiness of almost all the shots I think I was trying to cycle through them at a pace that matched the shakiness.. Sometimes less is more, maybe staying on a shot would of helped people connect a little more. Davi Silveira www.davi-silveira.com Cinematographer

I agree with you, shakiness was not my friend. I shot this without a rig of any kind just holding on to the camera so it was a challenge to keep it steady. some kind of hand held rig would of done the trick real nice I think. Between a little more smooth movement and shaky. The purple twilight was on the 70-200mm if you can believe that! :) Thank you for the comment. This was a very educational experience with natural light and composition.

**Camera Test I shot this all with Natural light. I had the camera for the weekend and so I was alone in this shoot and with my limited time I wasn't able to really control the natural light like I would want to. Nevertheless it was a good shoot, I wanted to push the camera to the very dark and bright places. **Concept Idea I want to make a kind of poetic visual and lyrical film. Think, Terrence Malick. This is a proof of concept. Please leave comments with Ideas, thoughts, questions. I shot this handheld without a rig. Some shots are pretty shaky, I'm sorry. Thank you for your time.
