I have always been a big fan of how you can create a certain look with the right photography, but not everyone has that same type of creativity. I’ve been an avid photographer for a long time, when I first started, but the fact was that I had no idea how to edit things. So I taught myself everything I could about photography.
I do have a set of tutorials in case you want to learn how to edit things. In fact, I am working on a new tutorial that will teach you everything from choosing the right lens to choosing the right camera. I have also been working on a tutorial series that walks you through the various editing steps.
In this week’s episode of the show, I talk with my friend, film director, screenwriter, and screenwriter extraordinaire, Jeff Reichert. Jeff’s goal in life is to make “real” movies, which means making movies that are honest to the camera, not just for the sake of making them. After all, a camera is a camera. And if it is not honest to the camera, then it is not real.
I don’t really know if Jeff is just being a little self-deprecating, but I think he means that his movies are made in a way that tries to be as honest to the camera as possible. I think that’s why he is one of the best directors out there. He doesn’t make movies that are just there to be seen, he makes movies that are meant to be experienced. He doesn’t make movies to be watched; he makes movies to be lived.
That last part is so true. If you dont like the camera, then you dont like the movie.
I hate the fact that I have to say this, but I think Jeff is dead on with the statement that eg photography is a very real image. I think it is, as Jeff himself has said in many interviews, a camera that is constantly being manipulated. I think this is why it is so hard to make real people appear in the real world.
Jeff has said that he uses his camera to make people appear in the world as they are, and you can see the same idea in the latest trailer for The Last of Us. In the trailer, protagonist Joel is a man who is constantly being manipulated by a mysterious “monster” that is a constant source of tension as he tries to figure out what is going to happen to him and his friends.
Eg is the term for a type of digital still/video camera. The only difference between eg and point & shoots is that the latter allows you to take photos and video while the former only allows you to take still photos. They are all designed to be used like this, and the difference in function means that eg has the ability to capture live action with the camera on the move, while the point & shoots can only capture still photos.
Eg can be used for both still photography and video. Eg is also very similar to a camera phone in that what you take in is how you look. Eg will, however, have a much larger battery life than a point amp shoot and is able to shoot in various settings (including still) at a fraction of the cost.
The difference between a point amp shoot and eg is that eg has a fixed focus, while the eg can focus on moving subjects. Eg will be very useful for moving objects like a car, but would be limited to that very specific use. Eg will be able to capture a very wide range of subject types and can also be used for more creative subjects. Eg will be able to shoot in all five major shooting modes.
