Just finished making my own Citizen Kane cinegrid. I decided to focus it on great lighting and shadows shots.

Please rate.

Also recommend me films with similar aesthetics.

...

Macbeth the old one, for sure with Orson Wells

actually a lot of Orson Welles movies.

Vertigo

dig it, although for the top center i would've chosen a few seconds earlier (or later?) where his arms are stretched out

Seen it, don't think it has similarities in terms of shadows other than possibly this shot.

...

T O L A N D

John Alton
James Wong Howe

A lot of noir films obviously
Coens/Deakins homage The Man Who Wasn't There

...

...

Thaaanks, good replies. Will watch them all.

more with the camera work then teh shadow work... oops.

...

...

This one? I like it less, partially because the other journalist is looking the opposite way.

i like that the journalist is looking the other way, ignoring the impassioned speaker

to each his own i guess

...

Also check how on my shot the light is playing near his right arm, which is missing on the other shot, and also more layers around his head on the left.

thank you for making a worthwhile thread

I'm actually surprised, was expecting this thread to go bane and "watching movies before 2000" with the first reply.

Almost all of the recommended films are already in my list of what I'm going to watch. I was going to watch almost all Welles, The Third Man and the others. Adding new films to my list as well.

trolls know the /film/ community is a little harder to bait than your average capeshitter

No, they are as easy as all else. It's simply a matter of luck, coincidence that this thread has more than 10 replies and is absent of shitposting.

Keep in mind that of the 26 replies ITT, there are only 5 IP's...

i'd say the majority of threads that discuss noir and entry level arthouse usually turn out decent. they don't have too much analysis or in depth discussion, but people will rec and talk about their favorites. the threads that turn to shit are the ones where people have to actually express their thoughts, for example the godard vs. truffaut threads.

but again threads like this, where all you have to do is post some images you saved and rec movies, usually turn out well since most people like the medium enough to engage in this type of discussion and maybe get recs in return.

dat 30 minutes heist

HNGGGGGG

Is there a film that brings lighting and shadows contrast to such a level that many shots are almost half bright white half darkness black? But not Begotten.

>still cinegrids
pleb

This movie was pleb as fuck but pretty.

...

lol

took me a second lmao.

At first I was like "oh damn this is some sweet looking high fidelity french kino, apparently about american imperialism?" (because I mistook the jet for some kind of spyplane)

10/10

bumping a quality threada

Still the only one of these I've made.

Is there an easy way to remove the black bars from letter-or-pillarboxed movies?

That looks very, very appealing considering most grids look like utter shit and choose uninteresting shots. You've pretty much convinced me to watch it this weekend.

That's a big cinegrid
