Carmen…

January 27th, 2010 | 18 Comments | Posted in Media, Mood

Am rezolvat “mica” problema cu domeniul intr-un final dramatic, abia dupa ce m-am luptat putin cu aia de la Romarg, dar nu despre asta vreau sa vorbesc acum…

De ceva vreme ma tot manca sa incerc sa filmez, e o provocare pentru mine.  Fotografia e frumoasa, are putere de evocare, dar din multe puncte de vedere ne limiteaza, ii lipseste complexitatea de care avem parte in cinematografie. Am incercat pentru prima data acum cateva zile sa filmez si inainte sa incep aveam o “imagine” in cap care rula la fel de fiecare data cand ma gandeam la cum o sa evolueze.

Am inceput foarte static, prin a filma o serie de portrete, mai mult sau mai putin in miscare. Abia mai spre final am animat un pic atmosfera si am creat senzatia de dinamica. In timp ce montam clipurile scurte in Premiere Pro, ma gandeam la cum puteam sa fac lucrurile diferit, sa fie focale diferite, incadrari diferite, unghiuri diferite, compozitii inedite, etc. Intr-un fel m-am limitat la “partea fotografica” a filmatului, probabil din obisnuinta.

Clipul nu are un concept sau o tema anume. Am vrut sa filmez ca sa vad cum simt camera, cum ma simt eu cand filmez, daca e pentru mine, etc. Trebuie sa recunosc ca e extraordinar sa filmezi si ca abia astept sa filmez ceva mai elaborat, ceva bine pus la punct, ceva cu un “story board” in spate.

Am invatat niste lucruri din filmarea asta si sper sa invat la fel de multe si din urmatoarele.

Multumirile merg catre Carmen pentru rabdare si incredere, catre Miru pentru aparat si suturi in fund si nu in ultimul rand catre Marius pentru ca mi-a dat voie sa-l stresez pe Skype cu intrebari stupide despre Premiere Pro.

Student Fest 2008

May 18th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Concert
I caught the last couple of Student Fest days and decided to try out my new Tamron lens, which by the way works great even at f/2.8 where its suppose to not be so sharp.
Can’t say anything bad about the lens, especially that its a third party.
Had lots of fun, met some of the colleagues from around the country, everything was great.
Here are a few of the shots.

Busy as a bee…

April 26th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Diverse
Haven’t blogged anything in a while… I know.
Had a big project these last two weeks and just didn’t find the time to post anything.
Good news! I’m finally buying gear!
To be more exact:

2 x 500W Walimex – battery powered outdoor flashes
1 x Tamron 17 – 50mm f/2.8
1 x Kenko Flahmeter
1 x Reflector Panel – 180 x 90 (Gold & Silver) – with stand

More good news would be that now I use a Minolta XG9 (instead of the Minolta SRT100X I used before) wich blends perfectly with my MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.2. Also, I had my 58mm f/1.4 MC Rokkor fixed, at last…!
Other that those, I have my 28mm f/2.8 Rokkor, a 200mm f/3.5 Raynox and a 50mm f/1.4 MD Rokkor.

I would have to say, at least professionally, April was a wonderful month… and I only hope to “complain” this much in the future for not having time to post.
I’ll be posting some pictures probably after the gear arrives and also, after I finish studying the current book I’m reading.
I just need a break for now.

Cheers, Andi.
