Id like to “excise” the asshole that came up with the “excise tax” from planet earth. I'm so tired of arbitrary and ever-growing surcharges for almost everything conceivable. Stop casting Michael Fassbender as an urbane spy and/or hitman. I've had it with “Grandma-la Anderson;” PUT SOME MAKE UP ON, YOU FUCK. The stranded astronauts came back to earth, but there's more to this story than we really got. No one cares about JFK assassination. I spend a lot of time talking about 70s crime film “Prime Cut.”

Si tratta di un film storico che trae il proprio soggetto dal romanzo Le memorie di Barry Lyndon di William Makepeace Thackeray. Nonostante all'uscita nelle sale non abbia prodotto incassi cospicui, Barry Lyndon è oggi considerato uno dei migliori film di Kubrick e una delle più importanti opere cinematografiche di tutti i tempi. Per creare un'opera il più possibile realistica, Kubrick trasse ispirazione dai più famosi paesaggisti del XVIII secolo per scegliere le ambientazioni dei set. Le riprese vennero effettuate nel Regno Unito, Irlanda e Germania. Le scene e i costumi vennero ricavati da quadri, stampe e disegni d'epoca; grazie a questa attenzione ai dettagli, il film ottenne i premi Oscar alla migliore fotografia (John Alcott), alla migliore scenografia (Ken Adam) e ai migliori costumi (Milena Canonero e Ulla-Britt Soderlund) nel 1976. Le riprese vennero invece eseguite con l'ausilio della sola luce naturale o, tutt'al più, delle candele e delle lampade a olio per le riprese notturne. Questa scelta implicò l'utilizzo di lenti rivoluzionarie, studiate dalla Zeiss per la NASA (come lo Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7, uno degli obiettivi più luminosi mai realizzati nella storia della fotografia), e di nuove macchine da presa messe a punto dalla Panavision. Il film di questo episodio è “Barry Lyndon”. Con la partecipazione di Lucia Pareti (Cast), Mariangela Ungaro (Colonna sonora), Fernanda Cherubini (Cast), Giulio Tiezzi (Critica), Marco Pieroni (Trama), Bruna Iacopino (Copertina).
Cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC was in post on In The Heights four years ago when director Jon M. Chu let her know their next project together was adapting the world-famous Broadway musical, Wicked. With such a huge fan base, Alice and Chu wanted to make sure they respected the musical, but they both wanted to find a dynamic, filmic way to approach the material. “John kept instilling in us, don't make the obvious choices,” Alice says. “We were all creating a world of Oz together that no one had ever seen before, that was magical and wondrous and a little bit different.” Alice chose to go back to the source material for inspiration- the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. “Every single paragraph has an incredibly rich color description. Beautiful, poetic, just the world of Oz in color. It's unbelievable. And color means something, color is symbolism in Oz. No color is arbitrary.” Alice embraced all the colors of the rainbow for Wicked. They chose the color palette of pink and green for Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), with pink hued lighting to represent hope and connection between the two characters. In Wicked, good and evil are not as clearly defined as in typical fairy tales, since it's the origin story of how Elphaba becomes the wicked witch. Alice knew she could play with light and contrast between the two characters. Sunrise lighting would represent Glinda, while sunset and darkness represented Elphaba. Alice made notes in the script for time of day as references for each character. She worked closely with gaffer David Smith to create complex lighting cues throughout the film to match sunrise for Glinda and sunset and darkness for Elphaba. Early on, the production team discussed how to create the magical world of Oz without relying on bluescreens or virtual production. In London, they built real, massive, practical sets just like in old Hollywood movies. Alice remembers that Wicked used 17 sets that were 85 feet by 145 feet, with four huge backlots: Munchkinland, Shiz University, the train station, and Emerald City. Each was the size of four American football fields. “We had real tangible spaces to light and to create in,” she says. “And we didn't live in a blue screen world that so many movies do these days.” To create just the right green skin tone for actress Cynthia Erivo, Alice and makeup designer Frances Hannon did several makeup and lighting tests on different shades of green. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right shade of green- many hues simply looked like paint, or appeared grayish under the lights. As the DP, Alice also had to choose what lenses Wicked would use to capture both the scope and intimacy of the story. She worked with Dan Sasaski, Panavision's senior vice president of optical engineering and lens strategy, to create the Ultra Panatar II series of lenses for the film. For closeups, Alice chose a 65 mm lens for Cynthia Erivo and a 75mm lens for Ariana Grande because she found that a slightly different focal length for each actress worked best, due to the different shapes of their faces.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to Paul Todisco. He is a director and we are talking his film: Freak Talks About Sex. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. This is part three. So, how does Freak Talks About Sex come about? It all started when I was searching for my first movie to make. I met Jim Daddabo, a good friend of mine now, who produced Freak Talks About Sex. We bonded over our shared hometown of Syracuse and his college roommate's unpublished novel, which inspired the film. The journey to finance the movie was challenging, taking two years and involving various investors. We shot it on 35mm Panavision cameras, a point of pride for us at the time. The film captures the essence of Syracuse living and the struggles of young adulthood, reminiscent of films like Kicking and Screaming and Clerks. I aimed for authenticity in the dialogue, ensuring it felt real and relatable. The film explores themes of apathy and the longing for escape, resonating with today's generation. Despite some challenges with the final cut and music choices, I believe the heart and soul of the film remain intact. The title, Freak Talks About Sex, was a fun and quirky choice, but it faced pushback from distributors who wanted to change it to something less provocative. This experience highlights the conservative attitudes towards such topics in the industry at the time. Overall, I hope the film speaks to viewers and encourages them to reflect on their own lives and choices. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:10 - How Freak Talks About Sex Came About 00:01:45 - Challenges in Financing and Making the Movie 00:02:48 - Discussion on the Movie's Style and Dialogue 00:05:01 - The Setting of the Movie 00:05:53 - Discussion on the Character's Development 00:10:31 - The Authenticity of the Acting 00:11:50 - Thoughts on Possible Changes to the Film 00:15:05 - Discussion on the Title of the Movie 00:15:30 - Reflections on the Movie's Title 00:16:09 - The Misconceptions Around the Movie's Title 00:16:36 - The Challenges of Filming in Public Locations 00:17:17 - Humorous Thoughts on Filming in a Mall 00:17:53 - Closing Remarks and Call to Action

Michael Cioni is one of the film industry's most influential people in digital cinema and post production technology. He is uniquely gifted at identifying and following fads that turn into trends, and trends that convert into industry standards. Michael was always drawn to the challenge of helping filmmakers figure out their best workflows. “I really wanted to embody knowledge to help workflows, so that I could inform customers, partners and filmmakers. And then together we would figure out what's the best recipe for this particular film.” Michael began his career at post house Plaster City, then co-founded the post house Light Iron, which was acquired by Panavision. He then worked for Frame.io where he found several workflow shortcuts, including Camera to Cloud. Shortly after Adobe acquired Frame.io, Michael started paying closer attention to a new trend: AI. Last year he decided to leave Frame.io and together with his brother Peter, they founded Strada. With Strada, Michael wants to enable creative professionals the freedom to work entirely from the cloud, using helpful AI tools. “The most lucrative, and I think the most useful forms of AI is in utilitarian tasks. The first major part of filmmaking workflow that Strada wants to use AI to eliminate is the mundane aspects of creating a story. If creative people can get rid of the boring, mundane, repeatable, low-skill stuff, then it means we have more time to do the satisfying, creative, fun stuff.” Strada can transfer assets from cloud to cloud without having to download them and then reupload them. Using AI, Strada can provide a transcription and a translation of narrative content early and up front. It can also tag and analyze images so that it's easy to search using just one word for a specific scene, saving hours in the editing process. Plus, all the work can be done remotely, from any location, because everything is stored in the cloud. Strada is currently still in private beta but anyone can apply to try it. If you have a project you're working on, go to Strada's website to contact them about trying out the beta version. The company plans to start rolling out the public beta by fall 2024. The entire Strada team will be at NAB Las Vegas next week April 13-17 at the Atlas Lens Co. booth in Central Hall C5539 to provide live demos of the AI-powered workflow technology platform and allow filmmakers to test out Strada's capabilities firsthand.

Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC, (born 3 October 1975) is an Australian cinematographer who studied at the RMIT University. His most well-known work includes the films Zero Dark Thirty (2012), Lion (2016), Rogue One (2016), Vice (2018), Dune (2021), The Batman (2022) and The Creator (2023). For his short film Cracker Bag he was nominated for Best Cinematography at the 2003 AFI Awards. For his work on Lion, he won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Theatrical Releases and AACTA Award for Best Cinematography and received Academy Award and BAFTA Award nominations. Fraser shot Rogue One on the Arri Alexa 65 large format digital camera and Panavision lenses from the 1970s, making it the first feature film shot entirely with the Alexa 65. Fraser said of working with the Alexa 65, "The images are sharper and have more resolution, and those things are an advantage, but for me it is about the depth of the image -- there is a three-dimensionality to it. Often the beauty came from the texture; we found that the camera excelled when we were filming something with texture; it really enhanced the quality of picture." Fraser returned to the Star Wars franchise with the 2019 television series The Mandalorian. In 2020, for his work on the series, Fraser won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour). For his work on Dune he won his first Academy Award for Best Cinematography in 2022. Fraser said a feature of his work in that film was intentionally using simple compositions, "We tried to simplify the frames as much as we could. By doing that, we've been able to give the viewers that absorption of story and experience" and colour palette: "We tried quite hard to make sure that it all sat within a certain tone."

Her first job was a receptionist at “Animation Magazine,” with a goal to write stories and eventually run a magazine. She landed a job in the sales department of “Entertainment Weekly,” then “Fortune Magazine.” Eventually she did run a magazine, an entertainment trade called “International Cinematographer Magazine.” She pivoted to Director of Public Relations at Panavision when she was six months pregnant with her first child Owen, who was born with Down Syndrome. During her tenure at Panavision, she had two more children, and concentrated on finding the right inclusive setting for her son. Her original grassroots group of moms with children who have Down syndrome became a springboard into multiple support groups and non-profit organizations. After a brief stint with Bexel and Sim International as Director of Marketing, she ditched the corporate life and began consulting for Sony Electronics so she had time to finish her book. An excerpted chapter from her book was a recent Honorable Mention in the Writer's Digest 91st Essay Competition and she is currently working on a documentary short about her son's success in swimming. She resides in Westlake Village with her husband and three children. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/calm-parent/message

Steve McQueen, the Hollywood icon, had a passion for car racing. However, his long lost Formula 1 film project never saw the light of day – until now. Joining us to talk about this incredible story are the filmmakers behind Steve McQueen: The Lost Movie (2021), director, writer and producer Alex Rodger, and archivist Richard Wiseman. The film elegantly captures Steve McQueen's stardom and passion for car racing. It is set against the backdrop of the 1960s – glory days for both Formula 1 and Hollywood.

It's rare that a single artist can motivate an industry to rally behind a project or artistic vision. In the case of Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Eight, that is exactly what happened. Two of the key players in bringing this unique cinematic experience to moviegoers across the globe are Panavision and Fotokem. They are joining us in the Kodakery to discuss the challenges of bringing this movie to life using Ultra Panavision and the photochemical process. It's a great discussion about resurrecting a classic technology, Hollywood history and working with Quentin Tarantino. Please give it a listen! We hope you enjoy.
