David Nguyen
Director of Photography, Cinematographer and cat aficionado from Toronto, Canada.
Congrats to our amazing Cinematographer David Nguyen @reeldavid for wining best Cinematography at 2 festivals, The Flight Deck Film Festival of NYC @flightfilmtfdff and the International Independent Film Awards. Hard to do justice to his stunning lighting and style with just stills, but here’s just a taste #canadianfilm #cinematography

One aspect we were always fighting was the green spill onto the reflective uniforms. We tried to have the cast as far away from the green screen as possibly, and backlight tungsten. Ben (Director, and Post VFX) had a great keying process that eliminated any green spill that we were not able to take care of on set.
When working with so many unknown variables, it's great to be surrounded by a team you can fall back on.

My favourite shot from this project has got to be the dodgeball sequence. This was one of our last scenes of the day and almost every crew member got to throw a ball. The last ball that is thrown might have been by our director Ben himself. Shot with available gym lights, with an skypanel S60 to the far right of camera to give an edge light and a bit of wrap to Juan-Mi

One interesting challenge was to frame for the full gate for any singles to maximize our resolution and image fidelity, and to frame for 2.35 for anything that needed to fit within our final output frames such as group shots, OTS and anything where props could not be digitally extended.
In the BTS photo you can see the 2:35 top extraction frame for both A and B cameras.

For Dex's Bedroom, I had Igor prep the lighting as we were finishing up another scene. 2 x Skypanel s60s outside the far camera right window. Dana dolly for a camera push in.
For the skateboard shot we tried to rig the skateboard to the dolly, but we ended up just having Dex stand on the doorway dolly with the camera as we tracked backwards. Alastair rigged a 4x4 Frame overhead to soften the fluorescent lights.

In late 2019 I was the cinematographer for a tween sci-fi teaser trailer for Little Engine Moving Pictures. This was my first larger studio job as the DP.
A big challenge was trying to design the lighting without knowing what the background plates would looked like beforehand, and balancing the levels to make the world feel real. Sometimes you have to put a lot of faith into the VFX plates and not complicate things and overlight.
One thing we did was have a roaming green wall to hide a skypanel s60 to backlight the characters everytime we had a chance. By having it on a stand instead of on the grid, it allowed us to change the height to optimize the angle for each shot.

In late 2019 I was the cinematographer for a tween sci-fi teaser trailer for Little Engine Moving Pictures. This was my first larger studio job as the DP.
A big challenge was trying to design the lighting without knowing what the background plates would looked like beforehand, and balancing the levels to make the world feel real. Sometimes you have to put a lot of faith into the VFX plates and not complicate things and overlight.
One thing we did was have a roaming green wall to hide a skypanel s60 to backlight the characters everytime we had a chance. By having it on a stand instead of on the grid, it allowed us to change the height to optimize the angle for each shot.

Depth of Pyaar (2019)
Winner Best Cinematography - Feature - Mindfield Film Festival Albuquerque
Nominated Best Cinematography - Feature - Idyllwild International Film Festival of Cinema
Early in 2017 I was brought on as the cinematographer for my first full length feature film. To say that this was a micro budget film is a bit of an overstatement.
With the extreme limitation of gear and crew, I tried to use as much natural light as possible while using what little rags and fabrics I had to shape the light.
On this project I really tried to flex my blocking skills, as that was one of the few things I could do to try and make our high page count days.
Being limited by how much we could see on our wide angles, I tried to include a few roaming tight angle shots to tell more of the story silently. A lot of flashlight play, even wrapping myself in bleached muslin to raise our levels for the leading shots.
Charles had a lot of creative shot ideas he wanted to accomplish on this film. The interesting thing about being restricted by the budget is that some shots are just not possible, so you have to find creative ways to translate those same ideas into shots. Usually the solution was reblocking the action to fit our frames. Another problem that arose was having the scene feel too staged. In those cases we either had to forgo having people lit a certain way to keep the authenticity or we had to change the actions and script slightly.
I am very proud to have worked with the cast and crew and of all our creative solutions we came up with.

Working with @simonjmcnally, I really admire how passionate and excited he was about the film. Even when he was building sets all night, he would always be attentive to the cast and crew the next day. Simon put a lot of trust in me and for that I am forever grateful.
About a year after we wrapped, Simon called me and wanted to do some pickup shots of the end credits. @justin_lovell was gracious enough to help provide gear and a small space to film the end title sequence. Seeing my name hand written by Simon brought me joy knowing that this was his way of ending the film, showing appreciation to the cast and crew.

Seeing my name hand written by Simon brought me joy knowing that this was his way of ending the film, showing appreciation to the cast and crew.

In For Christ Sake, everything is seen from Sebastian's point of view, and we wanted to keep the visuals organic and fluid, so we opted for shooting mostly handheld, which also fit in with the budget constraints.
Framing-wise we would also have wide tableaux, and close intimate shots, trying to use over the shoulders for when we wanted to bring people into Sebastian's world, and close singles when we wanted a bit of isolation.
To juxtapose the contrast between his cold childhood home with the warmth of his friend's home, we desaturated skin tones when we are in Sebastian's house, and kept the colour vibrance when he is with his friends.
Shot on Alexa Mini w/Canon CNE Primes
Gear generously from @justin_lovell @frame_discreet @zero1.1zero
Our entire lighting package was a few custom LED Flexible Panel I made with @mossleddotcom, an @aputurelighting 120D, and a few cuts of fabric I have been hoarding.

In early 2019 I started working on the short film "For Christ Sake" with @simonjmcnally
This would be my first short film as the cinematographer where I would have time with the director to develop all the looks and motifs we would use throughout the film in preproduction.
I had a lot of ideas about what the creative development process would be like, and this wasn't it. Instead of planning out every shot meticulously with every aspect having some sort of deeper meaning, Simon and I created a set of rules for ourselves and used those to guide our decision making on set. Being a low budget film we already had a lot of constraints to work around, we needed to create a language where we would utilize our constraints and turn that into our look for the film.

In 2017 I was part of a project everyone dreams of doing once in their life: filming puppies all day.
Cutie Pugs was my first television series for TVOkids and also my first 2-camera project that I would be the director of photography on. I knew I needed to be fast with my setups and I needed to give as much space to accommodate the actors and our puppies, which meant a very limited filming time.
Being part of this project brought me a lot of joy that I still look back on foundly today. Also surprisingly one of the least stressful projects I have ever worked on.

Cutie Pugs was my first television series for TVOkids and also my first 2-camera project that I would be the director of photography on. I knew I needed to be fast with my setups and I needed to give as much space to accommodate the actors and our puppies, which meant a very limited filming time.
Being part of this project brought me a lot of joy that I still look back on foundly today. Also surprisingly one of the least stressful projects I have ever worked on.
Big shout out to @littleengine_ent Ben and Maria having the trust in me to head my first series. My camera assistants @13_hofff @dandd905
Camera Operators Dan Caruso and Yves Dupaya
Sound: Mike Rosiana
Makeup @kyoungmakeup

This was the 2nd feature film I was the cinematographer on. Crew was extremely minimal. Big shout out to Mike Hofman @13_hofff my 1st AC, who was not only the sole camera technician, but also jumped in as a lighting technician also.
Shooting Bloody Romeo taught me a lot about what you can achieve on a micro budget film, and what tricks you have in your bag to get you out of difficult situations.
