How do you use water in filmmaking to make any shot look better?
That's the question we ask Phil Rhodes, a writer for the American Cinematographer and Red Shark news, who presents us with 3 easy ways to utilize water on set. Afterwards, we demonstrate these techniques by recreating a scene similar to what you see in Blade Runner.

    @@infopimpsrock3631 Debatable. The captions are auto generated and he said Mark II which suggests it's more likely a 6D and considering a 6D is full frame which is more appealing to filmmakers. Could still be either tho as both are popular vlogging cameras.

    The Korean Cyberpunk film "Natural City" used water effects to make a couple of the most memorable fight scenes I've ever seen. A lot of high action combat but with actors standing in a couple inches of water with rain effects coming down makes for some big splashes and some great kung fu gunplay.

    I visited the "Alamo Village"" film set at Brackettville Texas where John Wayne filmed his Alamo. Happened on a small production I think for PBS with 4 or 5 speaking part actors, half a dozen cowboy extras, six or 8 camera and sound crew. But the thing I saw I could use in my own amateur films and low-budget TV commercials- - wetting down the dusty dirt street just enough that it would photograph beige instead of stark white.

    I've been on a lot of urban location shoots and water trucks are used 90% of the time. Most types of road surfaces look washed out (at best gray) without a wet down. I've seen set dressers use push brooms to spread out water so it eliminates any stray dry spots.

    For my most recent short film, "Rain", some of the shots we took we had the PA holding an umbrella over the DP, and I sprayed the umbrella with a handheld weed sprayer. Decently convincing drips, if I do say so! Of course, strapped for time and bouncing around through the city kept us from anything fancy, so most of the actual "rain" was After Effects. Ah, to have had a budget for wider licenses.....

    I just shot on my 6D for the first time. It's mainly my photography camera, but it worked great. It's missing some auto focus features, but the image quality is amazing. When I put the same lens on any of my crop frames sl2, sl3, t3i the difference is huge. I'd rather look at 6D 720p footage than sl3 4k footage any day of the week. It's like the difference between looking out a perfectly clean and clear pane of glass vs a dirty and hazy one. I think it might be the codecs... because all the cameras can take great stills.
