Cinematographer Roger Deakins had a camera platform with a soft buffer built on the railroad tracks so the train could run into it safely and push the camera down the track for this incredibly visceral shot. Movie Magic!

RONIN (1998) A sneaky 'hidden cut' occurs when an extra walks past the camera to wipe the frame. The first shot is one location and the second shot is in a completely different part of the French town. A cool way to seamlessly connect different real-world locations.

Testing out the Generative Fill feature of Photoshop (beta). Took an iconic film image and did a little set extension to see what AI thinks lives beyond the frame's edges. Impressive results in one minute. Very realistic shadows, textures and lighting. #Firefly #possibilities

DUNKIRK (1958) - A well-crafted example of a 'deep focus shot' that looks like a 'split diopter shot'. The focus was set between the foreground and the first man in the chair. By using bright lights and a high f-stop, almost everything is in focus.

🎥RAIDERS SHOT DESIGN🎥 Spielberg turns a cramped living room into 96 seconds of continuous cinematic choreography. A single moving shot gives Indy and Brody close-ups, wide shots, movement, exposition and visual variety without a single cut. Super elegant visual storytelling.

CONTACT The climax challenges the audience from two directions. If you believe only in science, it asks you to accept the unprovable. If you believe only in faith, it demands evidence. The film becomes a meditation asking: What if the most important truths can never be proven?
