Shane Hurlbut is a cinematographer that has been involved with all sorts of productions, from music videos to Hollywood blockbusters. His work is renowned, and one of the best resources currently available on the internet is a paid membership to the Shane Hurlbut cinematography website.
The Hurlblog
Anyone who is interested in improving as a cinematographer should regularly visit ‘The Hurlblog’ on Shane’s website. For the most part, it has lens and camera tests, technology news and other really hand tips.
Shane’s Inner Circle
Really stepping it up a notch is Shane’s Inner Circle (SIC). SIC is a monthly subscription-based resource that is nothing short of brilliant.
Shane isn’t afraid to go into extreme detail. The ‘On Set With Shane’ series is invaluable. It details all of the processes involved in bringing a production to fruition and makes for compulsive reading.
The monthly podcast is also brilliant. Submitted questions are answered in turn and the insights gained are well worth it.
