FRAME FILTERING BEGINS

I make it habit to take screengrabs compulsively now, so I thought it'd be nice to share them with some friends. I called it "Frame Filter." Not everybody will see these movies, but it's still kinda nice to see some of the photography. Anyhow, enjoi.

ps. Here are some good links for extra knowledge about cinematography:
-Wiki cinematography
-Allen Daviau Interviews
-Another still frame site (hasn't been update in a while). Lots of film links on left side.
-Oscar List of Best Cinematography Nominees
-Moreabout lenses, angles, etc.
-The ASC
-A great video interview with Janusz Kaminski
-Awritten interview with Kaminski.
-Great Conrad L. Hall interview about Road to Perdition and his process in general.
Slawomir Interview

Kelly said...

What a cool idea. It's so easy to get caught up when I'm watching good movies, and not study them like I should. Thanks for the help!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You have no idea how much I appreciate the time (no matter how compulsive) youve taken to share these with everyone. From someone who likes to watch films youve really opened my eyes to what I take for granted that goes by frames a second. This is really a gift man and the best blog ive come across.

Enis said...

Really great blog. Very inspiring! I also have lot of screen shots from various movies that you didnt upload here, if you want I could send it to you. My email is: enis@fabrika.com

Karel said...

Ha! Steve, I'll probably link to your site in the future. I use screenshots all the time for my Story Analyses (http://thestorydepartment.com).

What software do you use? Do you ever manipulate the image before posting?

Cheers,

Karel

samacleod said...

Hey Karel,

I just do screencaps. Whatever standard screencap/printscreen comes with the computer.

I don't manipulate the images, I do crop them, as you'll see, some of the images have the apple logo in the bottom right because I screencapped a trailer from their site.

Jelter said...

i agree with other people's statements that it's hard to pay close attention to the shots while watching the movie. thanks for putting this together!

Katy Hargrove said...

Hi Steven,
Nice post!

I'm a bit nervous to ask you this but could I have an interview with you? I am a student at Westwood College and I have a project report about Design Industry Research with one interview with a designer in the field that is related to the my chosen area. I really enjoy your work and hope you to promote more of your works. If you have any time to spare, I would like to do either a phone or email interview with you and I will understand if you cannot respond. Thanks for taking your time to read this response.
