Geoff's eyes always seem to light up when he's talking about personal discoveries found through his journey in cinematography... nice to see when there are many others that seem they've lost that childlike excitement
I don’t know any film school in India that talks about this stuff. The information this man just gave is a treasure. All of his videos on Cooke optics channel are the best of UA-cam in Cinematography.
Love the diffusion test at 1:28. Keep your eye on the right side of the frame and you’ll see different Tiffen filters being added to the lens to help soften the highlight roll off. Pro Mist, Pearl, etc.
Anybody knows what year is this interview from? It seems like there were no HDR monitors around. I also still use my spot meter on set, but I usually combine it with waveform, although it's not 100% necessary. One argument in favor of waveform and false color, is that these alternatives measure what actually goes on in the sensor, instead of the lighting reflected by subjects ou objects in front of the camera. In film, we trust the manufacturer of film stock, for an expectable response to a certain level of lighting. Sensors don't behave like that.
04:16 can someone please explain how one uses the Ansel Adams system with a spot meter in cinematography? I have a light meter too but just confused about integrating the Ansel system. How would I go about calculating what he’s talking about: “Mid gray is 5, caucasian skin the lit side is 6...”?? I cant seem to find any clear videos on this subject. I would greatly appreciate anyone explaining. Thx in advance ;)
There's an irony here. The Camera used to record this video about dynamic range most likely has poor DR, the editor masked out the blown-out windows to try and draw the viewer's eye to Geoff, and as a result, I'm distracted by that mask, lol. :)
They over exposed them but brought them down in post so they weren't so overpowering. Doesn't look the greatest, but helps bring attention to his face.
Reason movies be shown in balck box theater be not for it be ideal view condition. It be for immersion. Ideal view condition accoradnace to occiptal lobe it be not darkens black room. The etechnology can be make for make two streams in capture one for raw next one for debayr in set live. The debayer in set may not be duplicato in completeion for this be effects on series of sensor sites accordnave for luminance levele in each sotes. However, it ccan be serve like comparison in post. Alhecvron may pervance as we goance further.
I love Geoff's extensive knowledge and experience, but often when I hear his interviews I get a feeling he is a man who like to listen to himself a bit much, don't you get that feeling?
What you are hearing is a man who enjoys what he does and is passionate about it. Shooting images is fun and a joy to do for work. Its not enthusiasm for himself I hear. Its the joy and passion for the craft.
Thanks for nothing. Roommates called the police and I am sitting like an idiot with a burka in my evenly painted Black room trying to color correct in peace.
"Check with a spot-meter and squint." Great words to live by.

I could listen to Boyle all day long

Great stuff! Going out to buy a Burqa now! :D
Great information.. becoming a big Geoff Boyle fan. Appreciate his playful and pleasant demeanor and wealth of knowledge and experience.
love this guy . tells how it is . no BS . hopefully will get to work with him one day :)
Rest in peace
Awesome advise and perspective for us up and coming film makers. Thank you Geoff for your wisdom!
lol this was awesome
I love this video! Geoff Boyle is awesome and tells you exactly what you need to know.

amazing, Gotta get me a spot meter now.
Great interview as always.
Mom: Why are you painting your walls black?
HDR, you wouldn't understand it mom!!
Me: I now follow the Dark Lord...
Mom: Oh, ok. Your Dad was worried you were going HDR.
I love this channel! So much knowledge :)

Geoff, thanks so much for all your hard work over the years with CML, your camera tests and taking time out for videos like this.
@Geoff Boyle Any news on that one? Would love to understand the relationship as well. And thanks for a great video!
I'll see if the guys at Cooke want to do a Zone system piece. If not I'll put one on cmltests.net

What about the "controlled" grading rooms? Isn't light reflecting of the grader's face as well?
Thomas exactly
The grader wears a burka obviously.
this is great! thanks Geoff
crushing me with quality as per
Exposure roughly in the middle?
Excellent
Great!
The hell is happening with the windows? They're obviously overexposed, but they look like a dull grey.
They over exposed them but brought them down in post so they weren't so overpowering. Doesn't look the greatest, but helps bring attention to his face.
That closing statement cracked me up
Is balaclava enough?

What did we get from this ? Protect the highlights maybe, especially on the skin if shooting people .

Indeed. Hehe. I just watched a marathon of interviews the other day and yes you do talk a lot. And I learned quite a bit too. Cheers! :)

Buying a burka to watch HDR content as it's intended.
Lol that last comment 🤣😂🤣

The last sentence had me sweating
I always watch television in a Burka.
That HDR truth lol
Paint your face blac.. Oh wait. 🤦🏾♂️
