The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have plenty more from the movie, if I can find them sometime. The Last Jedi looks great, really great.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Having thought about it. To me it does matter if a shot was at least partially captured with a real camera, or if it's all just straight from a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 If its straight from a computer, that does mean that it doesn't count as cinematography so much as it counts as special effects, which is why something like Avatar winning Best Cinematography is so odd. After all, when you construct a shot in a computer, you don't really have to worry about getting the blocking right or keeping the shot in focus; if you're doing a long-take you don't have to worry about the film/memory card running out, etcetra. But this thread is more about interesting compositions than it is about cinematography, per se. In that regards, its a fine example.

I remember wondering whether the human scenes in Avatar were real actors or did Cameron CG them too. Actually I still wonder. I haven't seen the movie in years.

Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My favourite Fincher film, is ALIEN CUBED. I know that it's not a popular opinion, but I get off on the whole "you're screwed"ness, of it. There's a deep-rooted sadness to the whole thing, that affects me. I really get off on the extended cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
