Back at it with cinematographer Sam Levy (@samlevydp ) for another Julio Torres visual dream! 🎬 ✨ "Color Theories" 🎨 marks Torres’s Off-Broadway debut, and TCS was on hand to support the live-taping with our fiber-backed Alexa 35 multicam build and Optimo 12x zooms to capture every moment. Watch it now on HBO, and if you missed Sam's work with Julio on "Fantasmas," catch that while you're there, too. Projects like this are exactly what our Live/Multicam packages are built for. We design fully customized HD/2K engineering flypacks from the ground up, backed by experienced field engineer teams on location.

#FBF: One year ago we hosted Jackson Jarvis (@jjarvis.film ) here at TCS to co-host Episode 7 of That's a CAT podcast, a Spanish-language podcast run by Jesús Haro, AEC @jesusharodop and Julio Ruiz @julesruizdp out of Madrid that's a resource for Spanish speakers who are interested in learning how to work on set in English. Each episode focuses on a different aspect of production and breaks down terminology and set slang. This episode? Build Your Camera. 📽️ Link in bio to the full episode available on @bettercallus.mentoring . --- #FBF: Hace un año recibimos a Jackson Jarvis (@jjarvis.film ) aquí en TCS para grabar el Episodio 7 del podcast That's a CAT, un podcast en español creado por Jesús Haro, AEC @jesusharodop Julio Ruiz @julesruizdp desde Madrid, para personas que buscan aprender a trabajar en un set en inglés.

Practically everything." — Orson Welles, Cahiers du Cinéma, 1958 Cinematographer Russell Metty, ASC, shot nearly all of Touch of Evil on a single lens: the Angénieux 18.5mm Type R2. Introduced in 1951, single-layer coated, and pairs perfectly with our B&L Baltars. ZERØ OPTIK (@zerooptik ) gave it a modern rehousing without touching its soul: precise mechanics, compact body, ready for handheld or gimbal work.

Pictured: Ernest Dickerson, ASC, and Spike Lee. On the set of "School Daze," 1988. On the last day of Black History Month, we're reflecting on the 40+ years of Black stories we've been trusted to support. From the equipment in this frame to "Roxanne Roxanne," "Black Mother," "See You Yesterday," "The Forty-Year-Old Version," "Between the World and Me," "Colin in Black and White," "Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power," "Till," "Soul of a Nation," "Highest 2 Lowest," and the upcoming Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic "Samo Lives." This list is incomplete. The work is far from over. To everyone behind these stories, thank you. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackFilmmakers #Cinematography #ErnestDickerson #TCSfilm

🏆 Teyana Taylor is making history. She is the only actress this awards season to be nominated across all five major awards. A Golden Globe win, and Oscar, BAFTA, SAG, and Critics' Choice nominations! She's most recently in the ensemble cast of the @netflix crime thriller, "The Rip". We were proud to support this film and cinematographer Juanmi Azpiroz (@juanmi_azpiroz ) in New Jersey, shooting on Sony Venice 8K with Vantage Hawk MHX Hybrid Anamorphic primes and Angenieux Ultra Optimo zooms. @artistsequity @hawkanamorphic @sonycine @angenieuxlenses #TheRip #TeyanaTaylor #Cinematography #AwardsSeason #Anamorphic #TCSFilm
