Exigence...

Lamont Easter in a scene from Exigence. Even the wicked are not exempt from Murphy's Law...

I never want to merely film the actions of actors in a scene. When I film, I want to shoot in a way that creates a visually declarative statement about what the actors are doing and not merely show that they are doing it. Some of this is conveyed by framing and composition. Lighting also plays a part and much of what I am shooting in my new film Exigence is being shot during magic hour--the time after the sun disappears below the horizon producing a softer, more even light absent highlights and sharp contrast.

In the accompanying still, Lamont is seen in just such a light.
