Sean Ryan Finnegan Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hey everyone, just finished cutting a new reel. Check it out and let me know what you think! And don't be easy on me just because I'm a student. :lol: http://www.seanryanfinnegan.com/Home/Reel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nelson Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I think the most important thing is to light with more subtlety and nuance. The lighting tended to look a little "sourcey", but you had nice placement of shadows and compelling shot design. What year are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) I'd say light sources can look "sourcey" as long as there is a motivation for it. Sort of finding a happy medium between soft even lighting and strong directional lighting, as required by the scene, project, etc. But I agree. I didn't really see a motivation for the strong lights in the first section. Also, the reel is overall dark and brooding in its lighting. If I were hiring a DP, I'd be looking for someone whose reel showed me range in lighting and mood. Edited April 11, 2010 by Saul Rodgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
