New York Cinematographer

Are you looking for a Cinematographer in New York?

We are glad you found Pushkin Studio!

Alex Pushkin is a cinematographer living and working in New York. In this post you can see Alex working as Director of Photography for an independent film starring Hollywood actors Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Oliver Gruner, produced by Erken Ialgashev. Check out the photos below to see some of the gear that Pushkin Studio proudly owns. You can see that we use Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras. Many of the world’s top leading cinematographers agree that these cameras are the best video cameras on the market out of all cameras under $200,000. We love 5DMIIs because they produce crisp, juicy, and beautiful video in HD 1080p. We don’t have the rights to publish clips from this film, but if you would like to see how good the footage from this camera looks, check out Pushkin Studio’s Wedding Portfolio.

The Canon 5D Mark II camera came out few years ago and revolutionized cinematography world. These cameras are now being used by professionals all over the world for independent films, network television shows and big budget movies. Because of large size of camera’s sensor, you get shallow depth of field that you see in movies, where the subject is in focus and the background is blurred. To take our cinematographic look even further, Pushkin Studio owns a large variety of Canon’s “L Grade” lenses including 85mm f/1.2, 50mm f/1.2, 14mm f/2.8, 16-35mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 just to name a few. Alex Pushkin has worked at B&H Photo and Video, where he picked up his cinematography skills. Pushkin Studio is also a proud owner and operator of the Steadicam. And we work with a company who supplies Camera Crane. Check out Crane and Steadicam tools in action.

Wedding Blu Ray

Videos from Your Wedding & Private Parties burned on Blu-ray

I am writing this article to tell you that DVDs are last century. Don’t make a big mistake by hiring a video studio to record your wedding or a private party onto a standard definition DVD.

Most wedding videographers shoot in standard definition, and give you standard DVDs because they use old, Standard Definition cameras, computers & software incapable to burn Blu-ray disks. These old, Standard Defenition cameras shoot in 640 by 480 pixels resolution. But all currant TVs are 1080P, which means they’re 1920 by 1080 pixels. When you watch a standard DVD on any flat screen television, the pictures zooms to fill the screen. To be more precise, a 640 by 480 video is starched across the screen to cover a space of 1920 by 1080 pixels. This doesn’t look good at all. You loose sharpens, contrast and detail. If you have HD cable, you know what I am talking about. Ones you see HD, you never want to go back to SD.

As you might already know, Blu-ray is a new DVD technology created by Sony that plays High Definition video. You might have seen Blu-ray players in stores like Best Buy. Usually when people walk by a TV playing a Blu-ray disk, they stop in disbelief. The picture looks so sharp that they cannot grasp how it is possible. Well, this is how your footage should look (and will look) if shot with one of my HD cameras, and burned onto a Blu-ray disk.

I charge less for my High Definition service than most Videographers charge for their Standard Definition service. I have better Cameras, lenses lights, mics and skills in post-production than most professional Wedding Videographers.

Why do I charge less? Because, I don’t have as much expanses as video studios. I don’t have to pay rent, pay people to edit video, set chapter markers, burn disks, create labels for discs, etc. I do everything my self. And I do it from the heart.

If you don’t have a Blu-ray DVD player, it’s perfect time to buy one. They are going down in prices every day. You can get a decent one for under $150. Or you can buy Sony PlayStation 3, with it already built in.
