kye Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 We don't have a thread for stuff we're watching, and I was going to say that I'm currently watching Homecoming on Amazon and it's very interesting. The series deals with two different time periods as well as 'altered states' and it uses quite a range of cinematic techniques, as well as just being really well shot with interesting angles. Things that might be interesting: One of the time periods has a very distinct colour grade (normal) but also appears to be square or slightly-vertical crop (a first for me) - very cool Some shots are with 'clean' lenses, others with blurry edges for a slight tunnel-vision effect, and the occasional shot is full-on Helios territory with strange bokeh Really nice story, cinematography and editing etc. Recommended! kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Hummus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Grand Tour on Amazon. I watch it more for the exotic scenery, slap dash comedy, and the really well done camera work than the cars. Although they can be interesting sometimes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Harper Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Just started watching Season 2 of OA on Netflix and I'm liking the layered storyline and cinematography... although ideally it feels like you have to re-watch Season 1 to really enjoy it.

I watched the whole season and was very impressed. Good performances from everyone involved [Stephan James and Julia Roberts scenes in particular] and for the director to be allowed to hold onto the smallest of beats/emotions that the cast put out is so valuable. The visuals their DOP was able to make were excellent - and I really liked the 'sssshhHHWOOOOSSSSHHhhh' as their transitional device. I cannot wait for season 2! kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I started last summer re-watching all Star Trek, mainly to feel disgusted everytime I watch a Discovery episode, and I am in Enterprise second season currently. It is not perfect but some episodes are just great TV, the story is above everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
