Do you agree?

Watching dailies with this guy (who made a cameo)

Watching dailies with this guy (who made a cameo) in one of my new feature projects.

This particular film is an amazing experiment in embracing limitations and going as small as possible.

For years people told me to get more financing. Hire a bigger crew. Scale up my productions.

But right now I'm doing the opposite and going truly micro. If nothing else I want to prove it’s possible to benefit from a minimalistic approach, and show that anyone can do it.

So far it’s been a more fun creative process than I could have ever imagined. It will be hard to go back, especially as I juggle other larger feature projects too.

My philosophy on this approach along with a full workflow breakdown in this week's post. Link in bio!

The new 2022 line of LUTs from CINECOLOR.

Much like how you might choose a different roll of film to shoot a landscape vs. a portrait, you can now do the same with your LUTs.

Each look has been carefully designed to serve a different type of shooting situation. And as always they have been tested rigorously to ensure they are up to the most demanding professional uses.

They officially launch in 2 weeks, but pre-orders are open now. 30% off for the first 100 orders.

About half the pre-orders are spoken for already. If interested, click the link in my bio to reserve yours today.

And check your email on Feb 20th for a priority download link.

Enjoy!

Fun first day on one of my new feature projects with @joshpafchek (and a cameo from my 2 1/2 year old). I shot these frames in 1.66:1 aspect ratio on the Fuji X-T4 with my Leica R 50mm. The entire film will be shot with that camera and lens combo, all handheld.

Blog post coming soon.

If you love creating art, you don’t care about the scope, you care about the process.

That’s why indie/micro filmmaking is great. It’s immediate, and there are no excuses. If you actually want to do it, you will.

Developing longer term/bigger budget projects is great too, but not at the expense of your ability to create now.

The best art is always made just for the sake of it. It never starts as a business plan.

Some over-scanned Super 8mm I shot a couple weeks

Some over-scanned Super 8mm I shot a couple weeks back. Mostly Kodak 50D with some 500T… Pro 8 in Burbank did a great job with the processing and scan as always. Going to post the finished piece and a BTS breakdown to the blog next week.

Still my favorite camera to shoot with. Super 8mm

Still my favorite camera to shoot with. Super 8mm format with pro 16mm controls for frame rate, shutter, and even a built in light meter.

What’s your favorite camera to shoot on?

I also recently calculated what it would cost to shoot an entire 90 minute feature film on Super 8mm.

Broke down all the findings on a blog post today. Link in bio if you want to check it out!
