Hello film world
New weekly newsletter about filmmaking stuff
Hello film friends, and happy new year!
Here are ten things on filmmaking I found interesting this week.
I’m trying to improve my handheld cinematography and found this Guide to Handheld Camera Operating with Sean Bobbitt, BSC, very useful.
Matt Porwoll has two great blog posts about his cinematographer “necessity kit”: Grip & Electric and Camera.
Film at Lincoln Center has a collection of movies from one of my favorite directors, Wong Kar Wai, in their virtual cinema.
DOC NYC PRO has released their winter 2021 season with nine weekly online classes.
This is not about filmmaking, but the birds have had enough.
I (re-)watched Citizenfour and There Will Be Blood the other day and started thinking about how both films had moments without dialog or narration. Films need to breathe.
Mayor is screening worldwide online. It has been on my list of documentaries to watch for a while.
New York Film Academy has a very long list of film festivals around the world.
This series of videos on creating dailies in Davinci Resolve for Avid Media Composer was really useful when I decided to switch from Premiere Pro to Avid for my latest documentary film.
The program for the Sundance Film Festival 2021 was recently released. And the film screenings will be online.
Thank you for reading!
