I Break The News

Hello everybody, Welcome back to your favorite blog about filmmaking and cinematography. Today, we are kicking off our new series – the 🎬Good Movie Club🍿. This club is obviously not about new, shallow movies with bad scripts that promote the erosion of values that have been presented to us repeatedly in recent years. It's about great movies from the past that were well made and fun to watch.  More than deserving of a rewatch! You know what sounds like an interesting job? Being a Production Assistant for good movies.  I find the movie-making process fascinating. Of course, it depends on the project. If I had only carried one cable during the making of ' La La Land' , I would have been very happy. What an amazing end result! 😃✨ Imagine, there was a 'La La Land' concert in London, an orchestra playing the soundtrack at the Royal Albert Hall! One time only. It was around Christmas and I was in Germany - so I missed it! Can you believe it?! I say 'La La Land' ...

Tonight is THE NIGHT! The 86th Oscars will take place in Hollywood and a few, lucky and talented winners will take home the shiny, golden Oscar® statuette . But how exactly are these beautiful awards being made and who is putting them together? We found it out for you! Watch the video below, to witness the trophy making process step by step. PS. We had no idea how many layers there are under that gold, until just now & Oscars are heavy !

Hollywood has a whole bunch of tricks up its sleeve to make us believe, that is something we all know. With modern technology it seems to be easier than ever to bring a whole era back to life - like the 1920's in The Great Gatsby ! To see the transformation from a scene that was shot in front of a green screen to how it appeared in the actual movie, is in our opinion pretty cool!
