"CARTIER" @carolinamclucas in Palm Trees by KOMET. -- Last summer we all got together and really wanted to make this music video happen. We had great ideas for a different project but Covid didn't allow. Despite the lack of means and a crazy pandemic we were still able to push things in the right direction and create something new for @kometmusic . This is my "Cartier" shot as I like to call it.

#3 If you are getting "Arrival" vibes so were we. A homage to one of the greats at soft lighting and exploring darkness with the camera. ⚡🌌 I really have much to thank for Bradford Young's work and talks, they are a great source of inspiration.

How dark do you want it? "- Yes." Adding light is nice but removing it can be just as interesting. The experience of real darkness in a cinema projection, combined with sound, is quite powerful. Just keep an eye on your exposure values and ratios. For the water reflections and ripples we really just used water and some china balls. No CGI or VFX. * Exposure of these frames may appear darker than intended. For better quality and details visit my website. Inspired by @timives @the__asc on Stranger Things. Also seen in "Under the Skin" (2013) by Johnathan Glazer. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trapped" (2019) Director: Laura Posson @possony DoP: @fredcvelez 1st AC: @lumaoquendo Key Grip: Bjartur Sigurðsson @bjarturs Gaffer: Isaiah Mancha @ismancha Art: Vanshikha Singh & Mithila Joshi @letsgetboxed @mithilaajoshi Talent: @liljairengjerde Special thanks to @ali.habib.shreim Alexa Classic EV Zeiss CP.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #filmmakers #filmmaking #filmmaker #film #cinematography #director #cinematographer #gaffer #filmproduction #movie #cinema #behindthescenes #shortfilm #indiefilm #indiefilmmaking #creative #video #art #setlife #light #lights

Honour Thy Mother CRLS Panels, crystals and candles. @thelightbridge Usually conventional units and tools are your go to solution but in some cases using small modifiers and practicals can go a long way in lighting your scenes. To wrap up this last selection of stills I decided to add a couple of bts photos so you get a feel of what it is like to shoot in Czech Republic during winter. Let me tell you, it's freezing cold but beautiful. ❄️✨ @honourthymother IMDb.com/title/tt11150954 Director: Yinghui Fu DoP: @baughmankyle Gaffer: @fredcvelez . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #filmmakers #filmmaking #filmmaker #film #cinematography #director #cinematographer #gaffer #filmproduction #movie #cinema #behindthescenes #shortfilm #indiefilm #indiefilmmaking #creative #video #art #setlife #light

"19 years later." A splash of foam on a car windshield mixed with some red gelled light gives off the impression of blood. Easily one of my favourite shots of the film. If you ever watch the film it will definitely stick with you. This one was actually lit by @venkmarg on an extra shooting day. Filmmaking at its best is a team effort. ⚡ @honourthymother IMDb.com/title/tt11150954 Director: Yinghui Fu DoP: @baughmankyle Gaffer: @fredcvelez . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #filmmakers #filmmaking #filmmaker #film #cinematography #director #cinematographer #gaffer #filmproduction #movie #cinema #behindthescenes #shortfilm #indiefilm #indiefilmmaking #guerillafilmmaking #video #art #setlife #light

The beginning of a new era. Never thought my first post on Instagram would be @filmlights . For a kid like me this was quite cool! I guess I was hiding for long enough. Let there be light! ✨ Honour Thy Mother Director: Yinghui Fu DoP: @baughmankyle Gaffer: @fredcvelez Special thanks to @thelightbridge for supporting our short.
