I don't have Photoshop. I have a simple, free program I downloaded. I only began manipulating images a month ago. Up until 6 months ago I hated photography and didn't own a camera. I only do what the images demand I do: where to crop, b&w or color, intensity, texture, all this is implied in the raw photo. So it is difficult to explain where my skills come from. I would say my skills come from years of living without a television, drawing, living in a basement, rejection, sobriety, a late entry into puberty, kettlebells, and a domineering mother.
These pictures are all visual training for a film to be made this coming summer. It is my hope that you will be the camera man for the scenes I am forced to act in.
So I own a Nikon D300s, which has 720p video capabilities and will accept external mic. Very high quality picture, and uses the best lenses (i.e. the same lenses I use for my photography). This is the new wave of cinematography, using D-SLR cameras. However, there is much to learn about stabilization, etc., for a guy who typically shoots stills. Look up the work by a guy named Vincent Laforet for examples of what can be done with these cameras.
Your camera looks excellent--better than the ones I was thinking of purchasing. Will check out Laforet. Will be practicing techniques on a cheap camcorder I already own.
Here's his new one. These are basically experimental and designed to show what is possible with these amazing devices. He's also a visionary and extremely talented artist and journalist.
Where are your photoshop skills from. Actually, they are not skills necessarily, more an interest in creating something unique. Where are they from.
