The Mandalorian and Grogu, if it were shot, printed, and projected on film. This was just for fun. The movie ended up looking pretty good in a Dolby theater. I just wanted to see how it would look in a movie theater circa 2007. (Watch in 4K) I graded this using my powergrade Film Depth for the 5219 + 2383 color emulation + Filmbox for the spatial elements like halation, grain, gateweave, dust, flicker etc.

REENTRY| Plunging through reentry, a lone astronaut clings to fragments of another life. This short was made in my garage with no budget, no crew, and NO AI. I retaught myself basic VFX compositing in After Effects, and put many hours into making this a fully-human-made piece that I could be proud of. Special thanks to my wife and children for putting up with the process and making a few guest appearances. I hope it connects for you! If it does, a share or a repost would mean the world :) Many thanks! - Scott #FilmTwitter #shortfilm #astronaut

This blocking and camera movement breakdown is from Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. This one's a little different because it's a steadicam shot so the compositions flow very quickly at times. I don't like to call ALL of Spielberg's multi-composition shots oners because, typically, they are just old-school blocking, staging and cam movement. Actor's moving at specified dramatic blocks, and the camera moving to reframe for unique compositions, that these day's would more likely be broken into shots on most films. This one could arguably be called a oner though since it's a full scene in one continuous shot. I count 11 compositions in this steadicam shot.

3rd Breakdown of Steven Spielberg's blocking, camera movement, and staging in Munich. This one is fascinating because he uses the car to dolly, the lens to zoom, and Eric Bana's blocking to stitch 4 shots into 1. It's so low tech but it's exquisite. It's also a reminder to throw out the rules. I don't think it's natural to crouch beside a car, but it works because it looks great. This of course might be a negotiation with your actors, as the blocking needs to feel truthful for them to sell it, but IMO sometimes it's okay to just make a shot look cool. #FilmTwitter #spielberg

Been wanting to do another one of these blocking and staging breakdowns for weeks now. Here's a shot that I've always marveled at this shot from Steven Spielberg's HOOK. With blocking, staging and camera movement Spielberg manages to combine 11 compositions or what I'll call here "Shots" into one shot. What's amazing about this shot is that most people probably wouldn't even notice. And that's a good thing. It's no surprise he went on to make multiple 3D movies, because he really is a master of depth. There's some dollying and by my count, one zoom, but otherwise, this shot is entirely conceived by his use of pan, tilts, actor movement and rack focusing. It's a masterclass in using depth as a tool for storytelling. And on that note, what's so incredible about this shot is how purposeful each composition is in telling the emotional story. As annotated in pink. Hoping to do some non-Spielberg ones soon too, but it's hard to resist because, even though many came before him, I think he's truly the master of this old-school type of blocking and staging.

(4/4) One more blocking and camera move breakdown from Steven Spielberg's Munich for today. This shot is truly insane. Essentially 6 "shots" in 1 (or rather compositions) As to how they did the dolly move in a car (My guess the car was split in half and flown in and out, or maybe there is compositing with the mirrors) that's above my pay-grade, and some things are just best left to movie-magic. Gonna do some other films soon! Thanks for watching and sharing. Munich 2005 Dir Steven Spielberg DoP Janusz Kaminski

New blocking and staging breakdown of THIS SHOT from Steven Spielberg's, THE FABELMANS, which has arguably 9 unique compositions or "shots" in 1. It's one of the most complex shots in The Fabelman's, which overall leans a little simpler in the way of staging and camera work than Spielberg's other films. But what I love about this shot is the way in which it tells a story. In this one shot, both of Logan's lovers now see him in a new light, and suddenly, Sammy's girlfriend has a reignited interest in him because his film brought down the house. We also see Logan's feelings of being a fraud from his rejection of his pals. It's old-fashioned but really lovely storytelling through old-school blocking.

Another great bit of blocking, staging, and subtle camera movement in Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence to continually reshape this moving master shot. Arguably six unique compositions in one. What I always love about these shots is the way in which they are intentionally telling an evolving story. This film often uses perpendicularly connected room layouts to enable a number of these kinds of evolving shots. Love it. A.I.

REAL-TIME | A Man builds a time portal in his garage in an attempt to reverse a devastating family tragedy This short was a massive labor of love. No crew, aside from some help from my wife and son. Under $500 budget. Made start to finish in 7 days. Lots of late nights and early mornings. I hope the story moves you, and helps you pause and take a second to soak in life's precious moments and people. If it connects, it would mean the world if you would reshare it. Thanks, all. - Scott #FilmTwitter #shortfilm #timetravel

Here's a fun one. 4 compositions in 1 shot in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. I like this shot for how it utilizes depth. It's all pans, tilts and focus pulls. There are no zooms, tracks, etc, and yet it's dynamic and tells the story in a really effective way. We don't see Anderton's face, and yet we picture it so clearly. It's so simple but very smartly conceived. God bless the focus puller though! By the way, with these breakdowns, I know I'm far from the first to talk about these multi-composition shots/ blocking and camera work from Spielberg. I'm not presuming to be. And I'm fairly certain every notable director ever has studied these shots for years, as I have. It's nothing new. For me, it's simply an exercise in dissecting it for myself and understanding the shots better. I'm not saying that the shots were necessarily constructed/conceived in the exact way they are deconstructed. I'm just having fun, and sharing for those who are also curious.
