Director Stefan Ruzowitzky (“The Counterfeiters”) gets that when you transplant noir from rain-slicked urban streets to lonely northern snowfields, the change of venue often adds a special frisson to this stylized genre. (Shane Hurlbut’s moody cinematography doesn’t hurt.)

In this very special 23rd episode of the NeedCreative Podcast, your co-hosts Paul Antico and Jason Sidelinger decided not to take a break because they were joined via Skype by special guest Shane Hurlbut, ASC in Los Angeles to discuss his history and experiences in making major motion pictures.

Director of Photography Shane Hurlbut, ASC, joins doddleTALKS Tech host James DeRuvo to talk about his experience using the Canon 5D Mk. II HDSLR for principlal photography on the hit film Act of Valor, and how DSLRs for filmmaking essentially makes a film crew as mobile and effective as the Navy Seals.

Cinematographer Shane Hurlbut (ASC) is already a fan, having been involved in several projects during beta testing of the Codex-Canon Cinema RAW workflow. “Taking my images to extremes is what inspires me as a cinematographer and the last time I used the Codex S recorder it was traveling at 160 mph at 12,000 feet falling from the skies in the Swiss Alps.  [It is] compact, lightweight, and obviously built like a brick house.”
