The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #401 – The Sound of Lighting

A bit of a different style of commercial on this week's breakdown episode.We try to recreate some of the classic looking pictures from the 1950s with a big wide dance number and a little 2d animation thrown in for fun.Hopefully you can follow along with the stills below to see how it all came together.Enjoy!New Course: Mastering Exposure is LIVEMastering Exposure is out now.  It is the latest course in the line up and so far the reviews have been awesome.In the course I detail how I learned exposure and I share how I would get up to speed the fastest way possible if I was starting over today.Cinematography can seem incredibly complex but underneath it all there are some fundamental decisions that must be made if you are going to get images you are happy with.  Exposure and understanding how to best manipulate exposure and why one way is better or more efficient than another is absolutely essential if you are going to work with a crew and on schedule.THis course is my attempt at sharing my exact process so you don't have to struggle to find answers like I did.If you are interested you can check out the course here:Mastering Exposure - The Language of Image Creation Patreon Podcast - Operators and Set EtiquetteI had planned to do a feature film breakdown but then late last week a conversation came up over on Discord about camera operators and set etiquette so I want to do a podcast to go over all the issues rather than typing it out.Working on set isn't complicated but there are a few things to look out for if you are new or inexperienced.  Even if you are super experienced it is still fun to hear how some people operate so in today's podcast over on Patreon I talk about how I like to work and what I like to see from people around me.If you want to hear the podcast or check out any of the past content you can find it all by clicking the link below:The Wandering DP Podcast Patreon
