Cinematography Explained - Make Boring Look Interesting

[@spfcrod]

Some inside information: this ad was shot during the pandemic, early stages, and no big teams were allowed in Brazil (things were bad around here at the time). The DP is shooting with his girlfriend if I'm not wrong. I think she's the actress. The directors worked remotely on this with him. And the directors shot the old lady scenes (which happens to be one of their mothers, If I'm not wrong). I was at the agency who came up with it, and a friend was the writer on this... But well, it's a great example of how we can shoot great things using the knowledge we get and basically playing around at our own houses with the light that gets inside. Happy to see it here. Thanks for the knowledge, man!

where i can find the original video?

[@spfcrod]

Oh, and of course, the ad was released during the lockdown days, so the story is just showing a lady isolated on a lockdown (the reason why she's so bored).

Yes. I was at a garlic event this weekend. There were some images I wanted on a treed terrace with a great poured concrete wall on one end. The dappling light was awesome. A street performer was watching me, as well as a CTV correspondent, as I twisted and slithered around looking for the best contrast for my shots. As I was walking away, I noticed both of them gravitate toward the demarcation line between light and dark and the dappling I had been using and set up their kits.

nice man

[@ryanwhite4855]

"a garlic event" 😁 Nice anecdote! Thanks for sharing.

[@antonzavarzin7208]

Great example of breakdown. I love how simple it is and that you can do it alone in your studio just for practice or some *cinematic reels*. This ad reminds me of Perfect days movie. Love that boring and real stuff.

Its so accurate too lol

My fav DP!! Always great stuff!!

[@ToussaintProductions.]

Could you talk about working with color? Would love to learn more about the process as it relates to creating lighting schemes that involve rich color contrasts.

[@patrizioseraofilms]

When I start looking around the room trying to conjuiring the cinematography spirits, I end up thinking "What would WanderingDP do??". Love your videos and thanks for always putting a smile on my face :)

I started out in Middle school with a camera. 45 years later I’m still shooting pictures plus my cinema camera. Got to keep the artistic edge

There is a great book by Jeff Hawkins called On Intelligence that gives a theory behind how the brain works and what intelligence really is. It boils down to the following: intelligence is pattern cognition. If you want to get good at anything, it just takes being exposed to something a whole bunch of times. Cinematography is no different. If you have 8-10 go to shots under your belt that can be applied in any area, what else do you need?

[@chillezxlast311]

Nice video as always! Any chance that you could talk more about shooting under bad conditions, like white wall houses ? Might there be more to it than contrast, shadow or reflections? I'd be interested. 😏

[@wanderingdp]

not really. you failed before you got to set if you are shooting in bad conditions

[@dathofilms]

bro this is a comedy sketch 😂 I am dying laughing over here

[@A.S.H.PHOTOGRAPHIC]

And here I thought all those days of shooting boring-assed nonsense was a waste of time!...Whew! Validation!! Thanks sir.

That edible comment had me crackin up 😂😂😂

[@lucapaluca8537]

Good analogy!

There is a chance that a future Oscar winner in cinematography might have watched and learned from you. These are lectures dedicated to the craft.

Good Video Patrick 😊 I am learning a lot from you. Btw i am also a beginner filmmaker and have made a short film series in zero budget , its available on my channel ,can you please review it

[@antonzavarzin7208]

I’m not a Putrick but I checked the last one. Exterior shots is 2/10. There is also a lot of shots that are just completely flat without any contrast. But I do like the dark sequence. Not perfect but solid 7/10. 😊 Just buy some black plastic bags and stick it to walls for next shots to create contrast in white rooms.

[@NamasteMyths]

@@antonzavarzin7208 Sure ,btw these are in zero budget
