Coffee & Content - Breaking Down VFX & Story through Cinematography

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

Last weekend, we hosted our monthly introduce yourself weekend, and I want to personally say thank you for engaging in the most exciting one yet! We welcomed hundreds of brand new creatives to Stage 32, and exchanged warm regards with long-time members. Join the conversation anytime in the Stage 32 Lounge! Your next amazing connection is waiting for you right now. 

Now, without further adieu, I hope you have your coffee in hand and are ready for this week's dose of content. First up, when it comes to filmmaking, there are countless ways to drive your story - from the way an actor delivers a line to the shots the editor and director decide to cut together. However, one vehicle of storytelling is often overlooked: cinematography. The folks over at CineFix have put together an amazing video detailing the many ways in which camera movements can drive your story. 

Next up, visual effects are now a staple in films. Sometimes, these effects create sprawling, imaginary worlds. Other times, VFX simply adds more trees to a suburban street. In this video by StudioBinder, they walk you through how to recreate a famous scene from Inception. Better yet, they do it all from less than $350. 

Here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below! You can keep up with all of our content by subscribing to the Stage 32 YouTube.

Cheers,
