Gabriel Beristain ASC, BSC
The Ring II, There Be Dragons, S.W.A.T
GABRIEL BERISTAIN’S is the look that launched Liv Tyler in her father’s Aerosmith videos, reenergized the filmography of David Mamet (The Spanish Prisoner) and Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2), and broke new ground in films like ‘S.W.A.T.’, ‘The Ring 2′ and ‘Blade Trinity’. His latest projects are “There Be Dragons” for film legend Roland Joffe and the TV mini-series “Magic City”.
WORKSHOP: “Hell in Paradise”
When Gabriel Beristain, ASC, BSC, shot his second feature film after film school: Derek Jarman’s masterpiece “Caravaggio” he understood that Lighting was beyond a narrative tool for the filmmaker. Lighting was an art on its own, able to go beyond the narrative barriers and the frontiers of technology.
In the Workshop, “Hell in Paradise” Gabriel will confront the notion that digital technology transcends lighting.
Using specific recreations from his most recent experiences shooting in Hawaii and Miami Gabriel will walk the attendees through the magical process of lighting a scene, which may justify that digital technology can do without elaborated lighting or debunk the myth that lighting, along with film, is dead.
Gabriel will also introduce some of the newest LED lighting fixtures in the market, will also show what was probably the last formal test made for a photochemical film stock… and discuss the evolution of digital technology in its recent furious drive to finally produce images that can equal FILM.
