Maria looks stunning, Pat Alexander! I've never seen this kind of shot before. It's incredible! I need to watch this film!
Amazing!!
Nosferatu and Blaschke deserve an Oscar nomination in my opinion. Just a beautifully shot movie end to end with so many magnetic frames

This invention made Disney millions, but then they lost it. This video shows while shooting the use of SODIUM VAPOR compared to the Green Screen, and why using Green Screen certain collours in the final image are lost, but not using the SODIUM VAPOR method.

What a cool collaboration between the DP and Panavision to bring this to life.
Caught this fantastic article from IndieWire on how the Cinematographer and Director of the recent remake of Nosferatu (2024) "pulls you into night".

What a powerhouse lineup. So cool. Flagging for my network.
Thank you, Sam Sokolow.
In this great video from In Depth Cine, he explains what gear you should choose for your camera package and how to create a gear list for it.

Learn more in the below video and let me know in the comments what you think about this technique!
This is great!! I was actually looking for this type of effect to try in my next project. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome, Daniela Butini!
I found this video by Alex Zarfati. My favorite camera shots to see in movies and shows are the Wide Shot, Full Shot, Medium Shot, and POV Shot. What are your favorite shots to use? And are there any shots you haven’t used that you want to use?
