When Youtubers claim to be „cinematic”, ask them if they made a Hollywood movie. There’s a LOT more involved than simply having a blurry background and applying some monochrome LUT. „Cinematic” is not just a visual formula, it’s a soul piercing energy that saturates everything, from the acting to the audio quality, the pacing, editing, timing, emotion, good writing, directing, acting, lighting… EVERYTHING! This is not something someone learns in a week. It’s a lifetime of experience.
In 1994, I made a real Hollywood movie (yes, 35mm negative!) with real Hollywoood cameras and it played in real movie theaters in over 50 countries. It was an undertaking of a lifetime. The budget was only 2.5 million (the price of a TV commercial) but it had over 300 people working on it, 400 effects shots (non of them CGI), great actors like Joss Ackland from „Hunt for Red October” and „Lethal Weapon 2”, Sarah Douglas from „Superman 2”, Billy Zabka from Karate Kid, Cobra Kai, Christine Taylor from the Brady Bunch movie, James Paradise from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, all kinds of exotic animals including Smokey Robinson’s million dollar horse, epic battle scenes with major pyrotechnics and stunt people flying through the air, and an epic soundtrack with a philharmonic orchestra and a 100 man choir… all for only 2.5 million! This video will take you on an exclusive VIP behind the scenes tour during the thick of action, and next week I’ll show you many tricks that helped make all this possible for such a low budget.
Much of it includes knowing all the tricks of photography, set building, props, visual effects, pyro etc. So when someone throws around the word „cinematic”, remind them what real cinematic filmmaking requires!
