Gull Lake, 08 view from the water. I choose to manipulate this photo to desaturate it so as to create a more rustic feel to it. To portray to the viewer the "kickback, no worries, enjoy nature feel" of the Lake.
The second of my 3 part movie review is that on, O Brother, Where Art Thou, starring Georgee Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, with John Goodman. It won an Academy award for best cinematography (Roger Deakins). The movie is a slow moving adventure, where 1 inmate, Ulysses Everett McGill, escape from a Mississippi prison. Crush rocks all day is what they do there. He escapes dragging along 2 other inmates, Pete and Delmar, for an adventure( because they are chained together). He tells them they are going on a treasure hunt and their adventure begins. They encounter a river baptism, record an album,( in the middle of no where), meet some "sirens" at the river and go along for a bank robbery with a bank robber. Their luck seems to have no bounds and somehow in the end they get away with it all. I probably would have appreciated the humor in it more if I could have understood the thick drawl of the actors. The music was unique, and I was mildly surprised when my 15 year old said he liked it.
The amazing part of the movie was it's cinematography. The entire film was created using a digital process to desaturate the film. The film has bonus features, one which is "Painting With Pixals" in which they talk about the process they used. They suggested that desaturated the film and balancing the tones in the scenes , gave them the flexibility to shoot the scenes at different times of the day, year , etc. . The purpose of desaturation, to almost a Sepia, was to create the
"Dustbowl" feeling of the time period the movie is to portray. They felt they could not convey those types of feelings in other ways. If you are into gadgetry, or How-do-they- do- that moments, this little extra bonus would be of great interest to you! I would give this movie a 3.5 out of 5 and a 5 for it's cinematography.
