Haunted Universities 3: Phee Take (2024) on Netflix Thailand, @netflixth “We were aiming for a very classical but not super-obvious vintage look and feel, reminiscent of 90s US horror films like Scream (1996), but with a more modern, flamboyant, and expressive twist, à la Saltburn. That’s why we chose the classical Alexa Mini with the S35 sensor, but framed for open gate (1.5:1), and combined it with the T-Tuned BLACKWING7s and some glimmer glass filtration for creaminess, flares, falloff, and an overall painterly quality. I think we’re really happy with the results” - Simon Dat Vu Dir: Nontawat Numbenchapol, @nontawatn DP: Simon Dat Vu, @simondatvu Shot on ARRI ALEXA Mini with BLACKWING7 T-Tuned lenses. #blackwing7

Tonight world premiere of @nohardfeelings_futurdrei at @berlinale.panorama ! Trailer in Bio Many techniques of detuning an image went into creating the softy softy pointillistic experimental velvet fairytale look of this movie, that we saw fit our main character Parvis‘ perception of the world. We used old uncoated lenses at their most open and diffusion filtration aswell as color filtration to shift all colors towards a warmer brown tone in camera, then in post we tried to twist that around by infusing some lavender rosé flavors before softening even further and dipping it all in the most organic of bio grains. You should probably watch it yourself. @farazshariat @hildesivy @raquel.dukpa @juenglinge.film @bananafshi90 @eidinjalali @friederikeamhohmuth @mike_bothe_colorist many many more . . . . .#cinematography #zeiss #highspeeds #uncoated @arri #amira #colorgrading #screengrab #framegrab #vegan

Last year we created something special - Deafened Giants - a film that I directed with the help of an amazing group of people, now out in the world and doing festival rounds. It tells the story of Kai, a 12-year-old boy caught in an inescapable sea of noise, while separated from his mother. His ordeal mirrors the marine creatures’ struggles with the underwater noise pollution that jeopardises their survival and is one of the most underappreciated environmental issues of our time. You can catch Deafened Giants at these festivals: - Cinemare International Ocean Film Festival in May in Kiel 🇩🇪 @cinemare_kiel - Mexico Surf Film Festival in March in La Saladita 🇲🇽 @mexicosurffilmfestival And I just heard that we made the long list at 1.4 Awards Planet Positive 🇬🇧 @_onepointfour 🤩 fingers crossed for the short list now 🤞😆 More festival news on the way. This wouldn’t exist without these amazing people who made it possible for me to bring this vision to the screen. Thank you for your talent, hard work, and for just being so wonderfully kind ❤️ Written & directed by me 🫠 Co-written by Saurabh Rao Director of Photography Simon Vu @simondatvu Underwater Cinematographer Andrés Prado @andreslizanaprado Aerial Cinematography UpUp Berlin, Robert Thürmann @upup.aerials Production company Renegat @renegatberlin Executive Producers Dagmar Garber @dagipagi & Sebastian Cordes @cordes_s Producer (and the landlord in the film) Vera Mayskaya @vera.mayskaya Starring: Kai - Philipp Stangl Mary - Reiki von Carlowitz @reikivoncarlowitz Skater Boys - Mattias Balbiani, Kembi, and Leo Kuhn Full credits in the first comment ❤️‍🔥

„Mir selbst macht der Part mit am meisten Spaß, gemeinsam mit der Regie zu überlegen, was der Zu­schauer wann und wie zu sehen oder zu spüren bekommt. Es gab Phasen, da wollte ich zum Beispiel möglichst verrückte technische Sachen ausprobieren oder ein möglichst großes Team und Budget verwalten lernen, dann wiederum Phasen, in denen ich das Gefühl hatte, ich möchte nur Projekte machen, die inhaltlich irgendwie mit mir zu tun haben, mit denen ich mich intellektuell oder emotional irgendwie identifizieren kann.“ Die Filmbranche gehört zu den größten Bereichen der deutschen Kreativwirtschaft. Welche Leidenschaft, welche Werte und welche Haltungen treiben die Menschen vor und hinter der Kamera an, Geschichten zu erzählen, die uns berühren, verstören oder verändern können? Das haben wir verschiedene junge Akteur:innen gefragt. Diesmal: @simondatvu Protokolle: Hilka Dirks @erwinbiel , Fotos: Diana Pfammatter @dianapfammatter #fazquarterly #filmbranche
