Crank, Knowing

I've been going through the film shot by shot coloring. It's gratifying in the sense that the film looks so much better but it takes a long time.

Pick up this month's American Cinematographer for interesting features on Crank High Voltage and Knowing. Crank was shot on a Canon AH-10. This is the same camera we use at school.The whole production with its small cameras and home-made rigs (you should see their home-made "bullet-time" rig) sounds totally "DV Rebel." See the trailer here. In the article, the DP said he doesn't go for the 'shoot gray stretch in post' approach. He keeps his histograms right-leaning.

Knowing, with Nicholas Cage, was shot on a Red camera. So a lot of mainstream digital cinema action out there.
