If You Could Star in a Film....

For many of us, the idea of being in a motion picture - in either a small part, or a leading role - is something dreamed about since childhood. For most, that dream may never happen. Or at least, not until now... If you take a few moments and read through the posts on this blog you will see that I have been honing and fine tuning a specialized type of photography with a very cinematic approach. The newest development is something called Single Shot Cinema. What is it, and why should you care?

              Have you ever wanted to be in a movie? What would it be? Western? Action film? Romance? Comedy? Single Shot Cinema creates an image that looks like it came straight off of the silver screen. The lighting, the props, the locations... Whatever it takes to make it look less like an ordinary 'picture' and more like a frame-grab from a film. When someone comes into your house and sees one of these shots on the coffee table, I want their first reaction to be: "Hey what movie is that from..? Wait... This is YOU? Whoaaa..."
              Not just a traditional portrait - a SCENE. You can even act out something dramatic with a friend or family member. This is Single Shot Cinema! Let's see a story! And let's put you in PICTURES!

"Casting Calls" begin for some sample work that will be 'broadcast' on the website. Your image can be the one that tells people what this is all about!  Contact us at www.seefranke.com for more information.

Playing With Dramatic Light

I have this image that keeps recurring in my mind. It involves the cold blue feeling of a dark winter and the glowing orange of a firelight. So far it seems to keep eluding me, although I think this is largely because every attempt I have made to capture this "mood" has been done in a hurry, or in the rain, or some other situation that forced me to run through it rather than walk it out. This shot is one such version. I may need to go back with a slightly different lighting setup and try some more. Perhaps in a different location.

Everything Old is New Again...

Due to events that would take far too long to explain here, I now find myself working with a camera that I have not used for more than half a decade. Granted, it will largely be used only as a back-up at this point, but the question of why  anyone would 'go back' to using such "antiquated" technology as a 10-year old (at the time of this writing) digital camera that is only 12.3 megapixels and has a max ISO of 3200 has an interesting series of answers. Let me cite the method to my madness. The camera in question is a Nikon D-90 with a vertical grip. At the time it was released it was considered a top-shelf pro-sumer model, and it was the definitive purchase that pushed me from film into digital. At 12.3MP, it was quite the heavy hitter for it's time, considering it was not all that many iterations down the line from the days of the "5MP cieling", where even high end DSLRs were still climbing out of the 3.2 range. To show you just how far things have co
