Gravity

Most of you out there know my love of cinematography and that ultimately is what I want to do with my life. Get behind the camera, plan shots, make the cinematic world beautiful and "wow" audiences. And because of these, some of my favorite movies have always been the ones that are the strongest visually. Many time this can be attributed to the cinematographer for said film, but sometimes there is that rare director that sticks with one style for the entirety of their career - essentially taking the reigns of the visuals.

An example fo this is Alfonso Cuaron. He may have the most consistently beautiful movies I've ever seen. Not only that, but he is a fan, my like myself, of the long take. He doesn't like cutting when he doesn't have to, rather, he prefers letting shots run their course, lingering until they absolutely must end. If you haven't seen "Children of Men" - please go do so. The camera work in this is absolutely stunning and the long takes Alfonso utilizes are mind boggling.

But this is all beside the point.

There is a new film I'm lucky enough to be working on now called Gravity. It just so happens to be Alfonso's next film. Did I also mention I've been waiting seven years for it? I can't begin to describe how insanely beautiful, masterfully crafted, and awe inspiring this film is. It stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Thats it. Yup. A two person cast - but ultimately it is Sandra's tour de force. Any hype you may hear about this film, whether it be from me or anyone else is justified. This is the real deal. You need to see it. If you're familiar with Alfonso's other films or even just "Children of Men," just know the camera work, editing, and overall atmosphere of this film is unlike anything you've seen before.

I can't dive into a ton of detail about it, but know it comes out in October and you must see it on the big screen.

This is an absolute movie game changer.

And please, please, please watch this in HD. You owe it to yourself.
