    Tis the season for spooks, and The Haunting of Bly Manor is the perfect series to binge when you're stuck at home, eating trick-or-treating candy. Today joining us is James Kniest, Cinematographer for the Netflix show and many recent horror classics, to reveal how the show looks as incredible as it does. We also talk about what indie and beginner filmmakers can do on a limited budget to still make cinematic shots.

    A quick note on adding something to the back of your lens, you want to be very careful doing the especially with dslrs and mirror less cameras with an mechanical shutter. You probably should not take photos for sure but even filming you will still want to be careful.

    • @SIMPLIFIEDFILMING
      @SIMPLIFIEDFILMING 3 роки тому +3

      No joke especially for electronica lenses. You can’t just slap something on the back of it however I have tried the pantyhose and it works pretty good

    I'm in my last year of film school and I just finished shooting a music video. We were supposed to use a Sony F5 but one of the second year students dropped one of them so they were short on those. My group ended up using the Arri Alexa which gave us headaches because the gear house gave us 15v batteries which we ended up having to charge every 30 minutes. Ended up not getting everything. We did get a pickup on Monday though and I made sure to book out the external 24v batteries which is a good thing cos we ended up basically having to reshoot the whole video due to the original being too dark.

    • @splashyreacts
      @splashyreacts 2 роки тому

      The Arri Alexa weighs 50kg on its own. The og shoot took place 4 weeks ago and my neck is still stiff. I swore up and down I would never work with the Alexa ever again, but after the reshoot I realised our problems were due to the batteries and not the actual camera.

    I wasted enough time watching the series, so another 17:40 isn't going to be devoted to it. I'm just going to say, I _hated_ the cinematography. The contrast was terrible, strong light sources whited out scenes, leaving faces featureless, and dark. It was all in soft focus, and the depth of field was really shallow, meaning nearly everthing was out of focus. It was annoying, style over substance stuff, and eye strain inducing. It was like watching a worn out VHS tape, instead of a 4K TV with HDR. If the style had just been used in the Manor to make it look ghostly, maybe I'd have given it a pass, maybe, but it persisted when the story pointlessly moved to the USA. Oh, and one final gripe, the opening premise, that guests at a wedding sitting by a fire are told a ghost story,.... which then takes nine fifty-minute episodes to cover, then we return to the wedding guests at the end,.. who we are supposed to accept, listen to story teller drone on for SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS. Utter BS.

    • @alexman378
      @alexman378 3 роки тому +1

      With her narration, the story was probably closer to two hours. I highly doubt she was also doing the dialogues and little actions that could be summarized in a narration.

    • @engineeredlifeform
      @engineeredlifeform 3 роки тому

      @@alexman378 it took seven and a half hours to tell the story. If the wedding guests got an abridged version that conveyed all the salient points, consisting of only the narrated parts, that's what we should have seen too. It was a ludicrous vehicle to sell the story. Even at just two hours, nobody is going to sit through that at a wedding. Hell, the Moonflower monologue was tediously long by itself!

    • @alexman378
      @alexman378 3 роки тому +1

      @@engineeredlifeform Again, when you tell a story, you summarize, unless there’s key pieces of dialogue that people would need to know. When you show it in a film, you need to get through the details. And I will agree on the monologue bit, that must’ve been 5 pages of just dialogue, and they did the same in Hill House.
