Sound is so important, especially in modern filmmaking; combining that with Howard Wexler's cinematography contributes, employing lighting and angles to craft a haunting, dreamlike visual landscape.

Thank you very much

"Honestly, though, the greatest strengths of Blade: The Iron Cross lie in its technical elements. I’ve been so used to a static camera in this franchise for so long that to see something else was almost jarring. Other entries, even ones that I like, often had an air about them that suggested that if something was in the frame and in focus it wound up in the movie. Blade has a very energetic, kinetic camera. It is constantly moving and that is very nice to see after all this time. It’s also the most impressive thing because, again, I watched a live stream of the entire principal photography and I know how much time they didn’t have. This is the most fluid camera work I’ve seen in a Full Moon movie since Castle Freak. And it’s not just the camera movement, either. Lighting plays a big role, too. There are a lot of period genre pastiches going on here, and they’re all lit very appropriately, from the snappy reporter stuff to the heavily shadowed noir elements and the seedy bad guy hideout".    www.wickethorror.com

 

Your greenscreen bicycle shots were perfect. The key was easy to pull. If you can do better, it's gravy!

While this could have easily been a small ensemble stage play, director Quincy Rose provides us with a cinematically active yet relaxed view into these lives. The gentle sway of Howard Wexler’s hand-held cameras is just enough to invite us into the kitchens and bedrooms of these friends. It’s intimate, as is appropriate, and draws the viewer into these stories.   FRIENDS F…ING FRIENDS F…ING FRIENDS  FANBOY PLANET

REVIEW

​

"Infection: The Invasion Begins is a fun, low-budget indie, deftly helmed by veteran cinematographer Howard Wexler, who not only knows his way around a camera and spooky lights but gets good performances from his talented cast, including Chuck Carter as the trailer park scientist and Mary Kate Schellhardt, who bookends the story as a reporter from the future who locates the aged Sarah."

..."I bought this DVD because I was curious about why anyone would shoot direct-to-video films in 2.35:1. The results are very beautiful given the budget and shooting schedule (DP Howard Wexler must be a master craftsman)..." E-mail comments to the producer/director of Brotherhood 1 and 11. (4/02)

These were two of my early features as DP...

...is presented in a full-frame transfer. I was quite taken by the transfer here, as the image looks excellent and puts all previous editions to shame. The print used shows some minor flaws, but it is cleaner than any prior home video version, with minimal debris and grain evident, very impressive work. The colors look lush and vibrant, with no signs of errors, and flesh tones are natural as well. I saw no reason for concern with contrast either, as black levels are sharp and on the mark, no problems in the least there. I figured the image would be better than before, but I am very pleased with the result here, as Picasso Trigger has never looked better. Picasso Trigger

Hard Ticket to Hawaii is presented in a full-frame transfer. After seeing Picasso Trigger, I had hoped for the same kind of results and thankfully, this movie also looks terrific. The print looks clean and shows no real wear signs, which was a pleasant surprise, to be sure. No issues in terms of colors either, as the tropical hues look beautiful and bold here, while flesh tones are natural and that's crucial in this movie. The contrast is smooth and never wavers, so detail is well defined and black levels are dead on. I never expected this movie to look so sharp and clean, so I think fans will be nothing less than thrilled with this presentation.
