Periodicals/magazines/blogs for cinematography?

Question

I want to stay up-to-date on cinematography techniques -- not just regurgitated press releases on camera technology. What regularly updated resources (not books) should I follow to continually learn the craft of cinematography?

Answer 1

For basics in digital cinema the Vimeo School is a great start.

There are tons of blogs for cinematography.

One of the most interesting blogs that covers gear and on the set experiences is by noted DP, Philip Bloom, a real major force in modern digital cinema: http://philipbloom.net/blog/

Coen Brothers too: http://thecoenbrothers.blogspot.com/?zx=2bb8d66a241d6286

For me the best way to find what's up is to see if your favorite director, studio, camera manufacturer, or whatever has a blog via Google.

Answer 2

American Cinematographer is a magazine and the leading publication on cinematography. At the very least, you should be reading this.

Also, these forums have great communities:

• http://www.cinematography.com/
  One of the oldest communities on the web about cinematography.
• http://www.reduser.net/
  A forum focused on the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company but is very active and a good place to stay up-to-date on cinematography techniques.
• http://www.rogerdeakins.com/forum2/
  A website where 9-time Oscar nominee Roger Deakins answers questions submitted by readers.
