      That's one reason I buy Japanese. Rightly or not I have faith that sweatshop conditions are unusual there.

        Todd, This may have to wait until November.  On my next Japanese visit, I will be going to Kojima with Winchy to document a lot of this…...

                        Really great questioning :). Giles I'm not sure if you've been following Kyle@TFH's updates on their processes, I think you've covered it off pretty well (and gone further 😉 ), but not a bad comparison. #exciting.

                          "motivation"

                          is one of my favourite videos online of all time. If I still smoked weed I imagine I'd blaze away to this once a week or something.. Honest Key Factor 1080p minimum. Don't skimp on quality. As time/technology moves forwards any lower is going to look quickly outdated…

                              I would like to congratulate and thank the cinematographer for Man of Steel for almost single-handedly ruining a movie with camerawork alone. I didn't think it was possible but there you have it. The latest mutation of cinema verite, where you as a cameraman must pretend you have palsy when you zoom, focus, or move the viewframe.

                              Think it, be it.

                                  Didn't bother me at all, but I know loads of folks who hated Cloverfield and thought the camera work was awful whereas I thought it was genius.

                                  I guess it's not everyones cup of tea, but it's a style I quite like.

                                    Turns out it's the guy from Fast and Furious, a Transformers movie, and the forthcoming Wolverine flick (damn):

                                    While Snyder worked with cinematographer Larry Fong on both 300 and Sucker Punch, the cinematographer for Man of Steel is Amir Mokri whose previous works include Fast & Furious, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and  The Wolverine, which is scheduled to be released in July 2013. That shift in talent shouldn’t change Snyder’s individual convictions though, and we can expect something extremely stylised, even if it resists the temptation to go full comic book.

                                          Got my first real soaking in the rain riding my bike home tonight. 10c out, can't imagine how cold the rain was, and ended up with puddles in my shoes with no feeling in either my feet or hands by the time I was home. I enjoyed it tho. So at least partial rant? 🙂
