Filming Inception’s Corridor & Zero-Gravity Sequences

Matt Jeppsen | 07/29

Behind the Scenes featurette shows how they did it “in real life”

image

If you enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s film “Inception,” you’re going to love this behind-the-scenes documentary short on how the corridor and zero-gravity room sequences were shot.

Switching from Final Cut to Premiere

Matt Jeppsen | 07/06

My thoughts on the FCPX brouhaha

image

Since Final Cut X was released a few weeks ago, there have been a large number of Final Cut Pro post-production professionals looking into other NLE options. Final Cut Pro X is a very different animal, and lacks specific FCP7 features that certain users require or demand.

Digital Cinema Real-World Available Light Test

Matt Jeppsen | 06/02

35mm, 16mm, Alexa, Red MX, PMW-F3 and DSLR compared

image

We geeks are pixel pushers, and we love charts and scientific testing of camera systems. It’s an essential part of understanding where the system breaks, and it informs your creative freedom on-set. That said, it is sometimes refreshing to see a comparative test from a common real-world shooting situation - working with available light. This is one such test, compliments of John Brawley.
