Technologies come & go…

Posted by Rich Lackey on July 7, 2011

“I think students of cinematography should have a solid understanding of the elements of graphic design, such as composition, color, tone & scale, and their deep psychological effects. Technologies come & go, but the underpinnings of good image-making remain.” - Hiro Narita, ASC
