  4. incredible article, now 25 years old, on the lighting and cinematography of Conrad Hall & Sam Mendes' Road To Perdition.

    "The palette for the movie was very muted," Mendes says. "Very early on, Conrad and I talked about creating a sense of great contrast within images by using hard light from the side and chiaroscuro. We wanted dark backgrounds and dark sets with dark, muted greens and grays.

    "For example, he'll use black silk for daylight exteriors because it cuts a perfect amount of light to make a scene look as though it's in the shade. White silk makes light flare, but black silk doesn't bring all that flare back and doesn't fill the whole scene up with fill light. On this film, we never shot in harsh sunlight; we always used black silks to dim down the scene and then relit it the way Conrad wanted it to look. He also uses different papers and double softs, and mixes hard and soft light almost constantly."

  14. #Cinematography in 1902 was nowhere near advanced enough to fake a moon landing so we have to accept Georges Méliès' "Le voyage dans la lune" as a record of the first successful French moon shot.

    It's a shame that they lost their moon base to the Germans in 1940 & never got it back.
