What do photographers love more than cinematography?

TALKING about cinematography.

Seriously, we get hard-ons for it.

My girlfriend Lindsey and I saw La passion de Jeanne d'Arc for her french film studies class. It's a silent film made in 1928, which in English translates to "The Passion of Joan of Arc". Throughout the years, the feminist pioneer's story has been written in hundreds of books and seen on the silver screen, depicted in many ways.

The cinematography was incredible. The simple lighting, set design, strong use of "the-rule-of-thirds", simple pans, and creative angles had me wide-eyed and note taking.

silent films are kinda awesome, who knew?!
