Agreed! But he wasn't working with a cell phone either.

You should have hired youdiejoe to handle the cinematography.

All I can say is... EFFF YEAH! The crips visuals, the simulated 2D perspectives in set cinematography, the effing awesome Daft Punk... I'd've qualityd this in an instant if not for Sarzy. Simply stunning.

Watch for the Black Hole "Remake"

Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski takes on 1979 sci-fi film
"Disney are going back to the eighties with a reinvention of the sci-fi classic The Black Hole. The remake has a top team behind it with direction from Tron Legacy's Joseph Kosinski and screenplay courtesy of Travis Beacham who penned Clash of the Titans. They have also have producer Sean Bailey involved on the potentially 3D project.

The original, directed by Gary Nelson, at the time was the most costly Disney film ever made, and saw the longest computer graphics shot at that point in history leaving it with nominations for cinematography and visual effects at the Academy Awards that year.

The remake will recount in much more detail, the story of spaceship Palamino discovering the presumed dead Dr. Hans Reinhardt in a lost, robot controlled ship hovering over a black hole. Reinhardt, even after twenty years, remains to determind to find what lies beyond the hole - be that immortality or oblivion...

True,
"Gary Nelson", the director was not a true visionary but he has brought us things like "Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold"

Interesting and funny. Makes me think of JOB. Would have employed far fewer extreme close ups, though. Those need to be just a seasoning of cinematography. Especially from a low angle. Nostrils aren't viewer friendly.

Cinematography by youdiejoe.

Very nice video. I've only told one person my secret and I'm certain I'll never tell another.

I don't keep track of what's going on in the movies these days, so the vast majority of these are completely new to me.

Shutter Island looks like it could be an interesting story and probably very well acted. It seems it might fall prey to being a predictible rehash of overdone ideas and cheesy "Boo!" cinematography.

I'll keep an eye open for Black Death. Hopefully it's shot more like LoTR and less like 300. Hopefully it can rise above being another medieval action movie riding the coat tails of LoTR.

A Couple of Dicks... yeah, no thanks.

Phillip Morris seems like another brainless comedy. Pass.

I hate Iron Man. The end.

Robin Hood... I'll have to see more. The idea of another remake of this story doesn't thrill me. I'd have been more interested by the original concept, probably.

Predators... Seriously? Didn't we run this far enough into the ground 19 years ago with Predator 2, nevermind the AvP disasters?

Inception... need more info.

Based solely on the cast, The Expendables seems, well, expendable.

Tron Legacy... against my better judgment, I'm looking forward to this. It will almost certainly be fresh and unique even if it's not good.

Hereafter, Mute... need more info.

Paul... Doesn't look like my kinda thing.

How can people be negative about this?!

These are some of the most genuinely happy people I've ever seen. It's so innocent and good natured.

And as it happens, the cinematography is (coincidentally) quite excellent at 3:00 when the groom stands up, straightens his tie, and the rest of the procession swims by. If I made a montage of the best Internet videos ever, those 30 seconds would be in it.

Vimeo: Filmed at the end of the 2 day F-Stop Academy Cinematography workshop in Dublin when we were in wind down mode. Shot on a pre-production Canon 7d.

I took the Canon 7d, Zacuto Tactical rig, Z-Finder V2 and one lone lens, a Canon 35mm f1.4, which becomes more like a 50mm lens on the 7d. So a bit like what I did with Sofia's People (but I didn't have the Zacuto rig for that).

I shot 1/50th of a second as I was shooting 24p and to match the 50hz frequency of the artificial all around me in Temple Bar.

I also shot some stuff 720p 50p with shutter at 1/100th to get the slow motion shots of the juggler which were conformed to 23.98p in Cinema tools to create the beautiful slow motion.

Sound on the last bit was just the internal mono cam mic as I didn't want a big mic on top of the camera.

Big thanks To Darragh and Emma for organizing the workshop. To all the people attended and especially the people who came to the intensive 1 day Cinematography practical workshop on Sunday. Jala (from Germany), Cathal (from N. Ireland) and Jean-Jacques (from France) stayed on another night and joined me for the night shooting. We had a great time. You may also spot my partner in crime Den Lennie a couple of times here.

Music is appropriately by the great THIN LIZZY and is of course Whiskey In The Jar.

Minor colour balance grading was done. That's all to take out the yellow of the sodium lights.

Smoking may look cool on camera kids but it's bad for you! The reason so many smokers in this? All the smokers are outside, all the non smokers are inside due to smoking ban. I hope you notice the one in my mouth was not lit! :-)

Good call. I awoke this morning with disgusting imagery in my head. Maybe I'll throw in a Pixar movie to cleanse the palette.

Yes, I did see Paranormal Activity. I thought it was boring, amateurish, un-scary and about an hour too long. Antichrist isn't so much scary as it is just foul. Since you aren't going to see it, I'll tell you what you're missing:

(SPOILERS)

*A woman hitting a man in the penis with a log.

*A woman masturbating said penis, which ejaculates blood.

*A woman drilling a hole through a man's leg and attaching a heavy weight, secured by a large bolt.

*A woman cutting off her own clitoris.

Wow. So it really lives up to the hype, eh? I don't think I'd make it through the whole thing, based off your description.. couldn't even make it through 'Paranormal Activity', although that was kinda shitty to be fair. You seen it? Kinda Blair-Witchy. Thanks for the heads up about this Antichrist, though. I'd rather watch a movie and have to think and be entertained than be revolted and scared! Horror movies never really appealed to me because of that, but some of them do indeed make for great cinema. If anything, I'd watch Antichrist for the cinematography - it looked beautiful.

OK, I can honestly say that Antichrist is the most disturbing film I've ever seen. I'm a fan of horror and a fan of dark, but the final act of this film pretty much put me in a fetal position. I have no idea what this film is supposed to mean. Though it touches subjects of grief, evil, nature, human nature, misogyny and sexuality, I came away with nothing but nausea.

That said, I can't give it a thumbs down, because it is a well made, well shot, well directed, well lit, well acted, provocative piece of art. Even before the brutality begins, the sense of dread and gloom that LvT creates using hushed voices and darkness left me breathless and uncomfortable, and the moments that come later on...... It takes some doing to create something this truly bleak and brutal without causing me to just shutdown and move on to something else.

That said, I can't give this flick a thumbs up either, because it's so self-consciously offensive in the way it pushes the bounderies as to what constitutes art and entertainment.

No thumbs up, no thumbs down. Instead I'll go with two thumbs covered in menstrual blood shoved deep into my skull, via the eye sockets.

It's a fucked up film. I wouldn't recommend taking a loved one unless they have a cast iron stomach. Whatever horrors you might have imagined over my description will pale in comparison to reality. You may be better off just skipping it. If your curiousity does get the better of you, you've been warned.

If you need me, I'll be in the bathroom vomiting.

Awwww man, does that mean my hard drive is full of gayness, and because I'm connected (via a series of tubes,) to the rest of the world, I'm gaying up the entire world?

This'll teach for admiring the cinematography of Naughty Night Nurses 5!

Sweet cinematography and editing!

I wish I could single handedly promote this video to the front. It's very enduring, as it has an obvious film student vibe going on, but it's clever, quick, and has good cinematography. I love it because it really shows his potential.
