16DP/Cameraperson Needed ASAP - San Francisco and Portland
Hey everyone - this is really important. Please reblog to help me spread the word.
Looking for a San Francisco-area DP or camera op, ASAP, for a low-budget/indie documentary on queercore and queer punk rock. Own equipment optional, should be willing to travel (driving from SF to Portland for more shooting), LGBTQ+ affiliation a huge plus. Shooting starts in SF on April 22nd and will wrap in Portland on June 1st. If you or someone you know would be interested, PLEASE shoot me a message - and please reblog to help spread the word!
Thanks so much!

Before the popularization of matte and matte painting, filmmakers used the Schüfftan process to create their fantasy and sci-fi worlds. Utilizing a partial mirror and a lens with a very wide depth of field, cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan would seamlessly blend the partial model reflected in the mirror with the set (or location). This technique, a type of trompe l’oeil for the camera, is said to be the inspiration for glass panel matte painting and other matte techniques.
Though it has been almost completely replaced by more modern matte technology, the Schüfftan process is far from dead: Peter Jackson channeled the German cinematographer for scenes in his 2003 feature The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
A super-interesting article on the shooting specs of Black Swan, and how Aronofsky turns stunning visuals out of consistently modest budgets.
This is an interesting interview of Matthew Libatique the Director of Photography from the new film Black Swan. I had no idea they used some HDLSRs for a couple of scenes. Especially in a very tight spot (location) literally.
We used a Canon 7D or 1D Mark IV for all the subway scenes; I could just carry a 7D and shoot on the subway all day with a very small crew. I did some tests with my wife beforehand to figure out my ASA, my stop, and how I was going to deal with the focus. I didn’t use any rigs with it because I wasn’t trying to shoot in the traditional way.

In response to Pratt’s post about an eco-friendly wedding dress that dissolves in water.
I stumbled across this video a couple years ago, probably via Cool Hunting. Helen Storey is widely recognized as the end-all in disposable/biodegradable fashion, and the video of her Wonderland project in action is really beautiful.
