Your Photography/Filmography

I just posted about digital cameras in another thread and it got me thinking anyone willing to share some of their photography or filmograpghy work here to exhibtion?
would be nice seeing what members of theautuers can produce.

I’ll start it off with some of my photographs – 3 pages here, likes or dislikes would be nice to hear views either way, and how they make you feel etc.

also I really hope others follow my example and post theirs as I get a feeling that as well as being an analytical community here we also have an artistic one.

cheers

Great work, Jamie. I particularly liked Blank Face in the Window Pane, the mood that it conveys. This deviantart site looks great for posting photographs. Maybe I should look into that.

I have a link to one of my films on my profile page but I’ll post the link here too:

Not a bad idea. I just got a Panasonic LX3. It won out over the Canon G10 and Leica D-Lux4. I’m getting back into a street photography groove. I’ll see if I can post some photos up here.

I’m excited about Olympus’ rumored micro 4/3 camera with interchangeable lenses, and a viewfinder, set for later this year. That would be amazing. I’ve given up on an affordable digital rangefinder. Leica’s M8 doesn’t count. I said affordable.

Fredo, I LOVE your film.
Your actors are supurb, your cinematograpghy is supurb the script is supurb, the NVC is perfect.

have you got any more?

It reminds me of a sam mendes film, and he created my favourite film.

I applaud your choice to shoot in monochrome it works so effectively.

Thanks Jamie. I appreciate that. I have another film that I shot before this – I’ll try to post it online sometime this weekend – and I shot a film last fall that I’m currently still in post production on (it’s another short, very similar to Seven Years).

Regarding the look of Seven Years, I actually shot on color film but then changed it to black in white in post. If you saw the raw footage, it actually looks much nicer, which is what I didn’t want. I wanted that gritty, grainy, black and white look. I always knew I wanted it in b&w but for whatever reason, shot on color. If I had to do it over again, I would have just shot on black and white.

I have a lil’ bit of my stuff temporarily posted on my blog, whilst my website is being re-tooled and re-designed. (damn you XML integration!!)

I just have 2 recent videos from around January and I’m editing some nice footage from Montana now. Oh and a short film that’s, eh, just didn’t turn out the way it was remotely supposed to be, on a 1998 Sony Handicam, haha. Ah well.

Wow, good job Fredo! Am trying to revise at the same time, so I followed it up to around the 5 minute mark, then I lost track of what was happening. Will watch again, a bit more closely, after my exam. But props on the direction, its seems like you’re in great control of your actors. Have you entered it into any competitions?

Here’s my dA account. Finally got a b/w film developed in my Olympus OM-1. Will have to use that more.

Here is a video i made earlier this year. Kind of an absurd topic but i think it has one or two nice moments.

Hey Jacob that was a really nice ‘older’ demo reel on your website. What was most of that shot with?

There’s my Flickr stream. I shoot a Nikon 35mm SLR, a Lomo LC-A+ (compact 35mm), and a Leica D-Lux 3 (compact digital).

I don’t have any videos, but I’ve been starting to take more clips of things. Nothing narrative though.

Here is a short film I made three years ago based on an Ambrose Bierce short story. http://www.myspace.com/oneoftwins

I’ve gotten a lot better with the camera, acting and everything. But my most recent projects are too large to stream online.

You know you can post photographs/stills directly into the forum?
Get the URL and then put single exclamation marks around it. It will show up as image.
You can’t embed video yet. We’re working on the development of a new section of The Auteurs for that right now, however.

I’ll only post one photo just to give an example
but as posted earlier the rest can be found – http://mattick.deviantart.com/gallery/

Mostly HD with my HVX200. Some stuff was DV with my DVX100. I seriously need to update my reel, I have TBs of footage just laying around on hard drives… just thinking about starting to edit that sh*t down.. yikes!! But yeah, a new reel is on the way soon.

Thanks for checking out my work.

. whoops…. wrong thread.

Nice trailer Jacob.

Here is my senior thesis film that I did while in film school (this was shot on film and looks much better than it does on the internet but oh well):

Check out my new web series BOTSWANA, USA, the first two episodes can be seen right here: BOTSWANA, USA

Joriah – excellent series dude. Great premise for a show and it’s well filmed and edited. Very much looking forward to future episodes.

Whaddyaknow? I made a new short

I made a short with a few friends called “Together”

I really liked the first short you posted, Fredo! I’m excited to go through everyone’s links and watch all the great work.

Anyone else still prefer 35mm? I’ve shot about 4 rolls of film in the last couple of months that I’ve been sitting on, because I’m having so much trouble finding a good place to develop my film. But for some reason, I can’t let film go…

Here’s a link to my flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/caliali/

Hey Alley, I added you as a contact on flickr. I love my Yashica T4, it takes wonderful photographs in black and white and I know of a place that develops them just the way I like them, but the developing bill adds up, and right now I can’t afford it. I love Polaroids as well, I’m using up my last cartridges of film :(

Thanks Alley! I’m a big fan of 35mm as well. I have yet to switch to digital and still shoot all my photos on an old Canon A-1 – I love this camera and as long as there is a lab that will develop it, I’ll always shoot with film.

I love the luminosity of color slides. I shoot with an Olympus OM-4 I’ve had for over twenty years. I held on to three lenses: 100mm, 28mm and my favorite, a 40mm. It’s because of the 40mm lens that I’ve held on to the camera. I love that lens. I haven’t done any shooting in a good while. Digital shooting and learning all that digital processing entails has preoccupied me. It’s time to pick up a roll of slide film and get outside, and take advantage of “magic hour” during the summer months.

Yay, glad to hear of the film love! I think both film and digital are good to know and use, but it does make me sad to have never actually spliced film in film school. I use a Sony V1U for my video work. KJ, thanks for the tip on color slides. I’ve never experimented with that, but will definitely have to toy around with that now!

I’m with KJ – slide film is really wonderful stuff. I tend to stick to Fuji for slide film – both Velvia and Provia are wonderful stocks. I think I have a couple rolls of Scala laying around somewhere, which was awesome black and white slide film that I don’t think they make anymore.
