It’s all about the practicals 💡
For DP @chrisbstacey, that’s the first thing he checks out when he walks into any scene...because the best inspiration can come from what’s already there.

Transform that mundane moment into cinematic magic with a 600D Fresnel setup, some crafty ND on the windows, and a little creativity.

How do you create 🌓💡 when filming in a sound stage?
We sat down with “Last of Us” cinematographer @ebenbolter to see how he approached this incredibly difficult feat.
The gist? He used a soft flat top light, back lights, and ambient room tone to create the essence of a naturalistic world. No fake theatrical moonlight here.
