Green tiles in bathroom is now becoming fashionable, houses will soon have green energy and some people have even painted their houses green.

Not long now before we seen ‘green’ camera’s powered by the sun, they already have solar powered LED’s!

The T12 created the sunlight effect and the 2Ks were set to bounce soft light into the corridor and the room. There were no lights inside the set.

I was shooting the opening scene of ‘Sicario’ on set and a deeper stop, with more depth of field, would, in my opinion, felt more like it was shot on location.

I don’t know the exact make of laser but it can be done. I have tested lasers with a standard Alexa so an LF should be no different. Any laser should give a beam in a haze if it is set correctly.

Yes, the scene was shot on stage with a dollies tracking various lights that were snooted down and on dimmers.

Changes cannot be made until Roger and James return from their promotional responsibilities until then you can chat to each other, there are lots of subjects to debate that relate to the film industry. The film business is changing all the time, new studios are being built especially in the U.K, new people are being trained and new facilities being set up, business is booming even with Covid still hanging around so the future is looking bright.

Thanks, Max! Got it. That means it isn’t possible to actually use the forums search or structure, correct? Just clicking on the individual links without really knowing what content to find?

Hello Halfgrain,

So, when you click on a link in the list, the website shows you a series of dates (years pattern), Then you have to ‘pick’ the last date where you see there is the ‘vertical line’. Then in the months’ list below, you have to find the date (that I think is when the backup was made) and then open the link that shows up.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope it is a bit clear now.

Have a nice day.

Max.

Hi! I recently found out the exhibition is going around in Europe, I am not sure rather there are more book signing or exhibition in the future schedule. Hope there are more events in different continents.

cheers.

I love board games!

I’m sorry for maybe missing the obvious, but how exactly can I navigate through the “backup” on web.archive.org ? All I can see is a list of URLs saved, but clicking on it seems to only reveal statistics but not the actual content. Would you be able to guide me in the right direction? Thanks!

I’d love to ask a question about the process and lighting for this scene in The Big Lebowski – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDVrrZkUFeE

Over in Perth, Western Australia, myself and others are members of the Professional Film Crew WA — a cohort of below-the-line members across all departments. We sometimes go to Universities and Colleges and showcase how crews work together and we’ve been asked to do a sim-trav demonstration for the students. We usually prefer to showcase well know works over our own since (surprisingly) more students watch US and UK productions than Australian ones. However we want to show that the process is usually the same.

In looking at this scene, it very much feels like sim-trav, but I could be wrong and I was hoping you could help shine a light (pardon the pun) on the overall process used at the time.

Thanking you in advance.

Dear Roger,

this is somewhat trivial, but I just watched the trailer for “Empire of Light”, which by the way looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see the movie in the theatre. I couldn’t help but think of a very similar looking shot in ‘No Country for Old Men’, when I saw the shower scene with the dark green tiles. So I wonder, is there a story behind this? Is this a coincidence, or maybe a hidden easter egg on your part or did you maybe not even think of it looking the same?

Just curious 🙂

Thanks and all the best!
Ingo

I have to say, this clip looks pretty digital to me. What I mean is, it seems to me the overexposure and blooming effect could have been done digitally, no matter if it was shot on film, couldn’t it?

My guess is that if you shoot a high-key scene like this without blowing out any highlights, it should be relatively easy to tweak it in post to get the desired look.

This is a 2005 music video shot for the japanese band Tokyo Jihen, seems like they shot it with film but overexposed it right to the edge of clip to give the talents a very pastel look. Because as you can see when they exposure ramped down to normal the skin looks very nice and saturated. I was wondering how you guys would approach lighting to recreate a look like this, of course the set design plays a big part as well. But I’m also wondering how to create these kind of look in the coloring suite with digital, since I can’t bruteforce exposure and force it to clip like film does, since the roll off on digital is quite a bit harsher. Also if anybody worked with film back then and knows anything about the telecines or colorgrading suite they would use for these kind of projects I would love to know!

Hello Mike and all the forum members. Here are the two links with the various pages. Every page was saved on a certain date that you can find in the “calendar”.

As I said before there are not all the topics and some of those are without attached images, but in a scenario where everything is lost, this was a great rescue for me.
There are more saved pages on the ‘Deakinsonline’ old Forum.

I hope this can help.

I wish you all a peaceful Sunday,
Max.

Ps. I had to remove the HTTP etc. because the forum block the reply (I think it is a safety reason for hacking and virus)

Hello Mike, Mr. Deakins, Mrs. James, and all the people that follow this fantastic platform.
I don’t know if I have understood correctly, but are you a forum moderator (Mike)?
Last week I “open” a new post on the lighting session but the topic is still pending moderation. I don’t know if it is a Forum issue, or if is Mrs. James who control all the topics to avoid spam and uncontrolled topic and of course I know they are very busy with the ‘By Ways’ promotion.

For what concerns the old forum(s) for everyone like me that are addicted to the Mr. Deakins Forum, I have found an archive thanks to one of the best websites since the Internet was opened (in my opinion).

The archive doesn’t contain all the posts and images as if the original forum was still there, but I recovered a lot of things and there is also a “backup” of the “old” website (Deakins Online).
As I said before there are not all the posts because it depends on the backup date that the “machine” did.

If you want (and I can) I can share the links. But if Mrs. James is working to recover the “full and the original version” of the forum I don’t want to appear impatient, my “suggest” was only a safe option.

I wish you all a peaceful day.
Max
