Since it was lit snow on a black sky, it wouldn't have been hard to do. Just another example of simplicity being beautiful.</p> <p>Film,</p> <p>I agree. The thing I want newbs and intermedi8s to understand that until you master the basics you won't be able to take advantage of advanced capabilities like DOF and Selective focus. Not on purpose anyway.</p> <p>Sarge,</p> <p>I'm glad you and the others are enjoying this video. Too often I hear people get bent over having to watch something in B&amp;W. Shooting in B&amp;W and making it look good is in some ways more difficult than shooting in color. Light, Shadow, Tone and Contrast are all you've got to work with and if you can't adjust your video is going to look awful.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/black-white-is-still-beautiful#post-53912 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:25:23 +0000 film814 53912@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Beautiful.  The great depth-of-field possibilities in the new DSLRs like the Mark II are fantastic.  I think one can certainly masterfully control a lesser camera, but I also think that the the DOF and selective focus that is realized with better equipment is the one thing that would make many great videos greater.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/black-white-is-still-beautiful#post-53907 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 17:52:26 +0000 ophelia 53907@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks for bringing B&amp;W back into focus - haha - (a still photographer's joke).  Personally, I like B&amp;W best, and it always shows the caliber of talent of the shooter (or lack thereof...).  This is probably a noob question, but do you know how Mr. Bloom created the transition where the falling snow fades and then overlaps the next scenes?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/black-white-is-still-beautiful#post-53903 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:26:07 +0000 SargeHero 53903@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Amazing. When I was watching for some reason it remind me of Citizen Kane. The composition is so good and the music fits perfectly. Really like it. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/black-white-is-still-beautiful#post-53902 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:57:24 +0000 composite1 53902@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Awesome indeed. My main hope is that any beginners or intermediates will look at this stuff and not get 'punked out' feeling that they couldn't possibly do well with what they have. It's not that Phillip did anything spectacular, in fact the shooting is really simple and he used the basics many of the regular forum contributors always hear me harping on. This video is startling because with his command of the basics, he took a great camera and made a beautiful memory of a night in Prague. I guarantee the guy (or anyone else with similar skills) can do the same thing with a lesser camera. Now, obviously the imagery will not be the same because of the capabilities of the Mk II. But, you could still get a similar look using good composition, good focus and  good exposure. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/black-white-is-still-beautiful#post-53899 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:22:12 +0000 CraftersOfLight 53899@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> One word...</p> <p>Awesome!</p> <p> </p> <p>Just watching and studying the composition and editing techniques may take one several days and they will still find something new.

Shot at night in the city of Prague Phillip makes everyday life in that wintry city look like something that should've been in an Audry Hepburn flick. The Mk II is hardcore in color, but shows that in the hands of someone with an eye can kick butt in B&amp;W too!</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8324034">Prague: Canon 1DMKIV</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/philipbloom">Philip Bloom</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-35610 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:10:04 +0000 JoeKerr 35610@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>try Democracy Now! they might be willing to help you and they're base in NYC</p> <p><a href="http://www.democracynow.com/">http://www.democracynow.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34791 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:38:07 +0000 darlingrikki 34791@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Place an ad on craigslsit asking for contributions, then at the end credits note all the names of the contributors.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34238 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 06:41:22 +0000 Alainstamour 34238@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi OKAL_Ent,</p> <p> I don't know if any of the organizations below the dotted line will have what you're looking for, but they are progressive and they belong to the world of video and multimedia.</p> <p>In Solidarity,</p> <p>Alain</p> <p><a href="http://www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.crazyredacesproductions.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p> <p><a href="http://www.itvs.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.itvs.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peoplesvideo.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.peoplesvideo.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.videoactivism.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.videoactivism.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.indymedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.indymedia.org/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.labornotes.org/ " rel="nofollow">http://www.labornotes.org/ </a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finding-funding-for-a-documentary#post-34203 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 09:36:23 +0000 OKAL_Ent 34203@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello. I'm currently working on a low budget ($1,300) Documentary highlighting labor issues within NYC. I'm in the Pre-Production phase making the Production Booklet, and I'm looking for organizations or people that might be willing to help fund this documentary. Does anyone know of organizations that commonly help fund low budget indie documentaries? Or documentaries about injustices?</p>
