Two or even three camera set-ups are not uncommon, but it's unusual for the director to shoot, Soderbergh is one of the few I know of who does. Kubrick also used shoot hand-held, often as the other cameras were rolling. Hand held shots in 2001 and Clockwork were his work.
thanks. i meant unusual for the director to shoot not that they would shoot with multiple cameras. whenever else ive seen directors out there they are in the makeshift kiosk watching on a monitor with headphones on more often than not.
i should add as far as i noticed they used no staged lighting. everything was natural light during the day and then period street lights (which they installed) and interior lighting at night.
The candid street shots with old and new are great. Red cones and wagons. Get out there with your cell phone camera.
good advice but then i would just be cribbing your aesthetic. ill admit to having never developed much of an eye nor had equipment to toy around with to really understand how best to get the most out of it. as it is the camera on my cell phone is less than rudimentary. and im generally uncomfortable invading peoples privacy (unless im comfortably above and at a distance) even if they are at that very moment being paid to be part of the scenery.
