Movie Stills
Articles
Stills are the basic unit that all films are based on. EVERYTHING starts with the still. For this reason, we wanted to create a place for more explanations on the many ways that stills are used in the filming process. We have several articles to help step you through that process.
Importance of the Still - This article breaks down the job of the Unit Photographer and the Color Photographer and what happens to the stills they produce.
Production Still Numbers - This article shows how stills are marked for identification
Identifying Production Stills - This article shows different types of stills and how they are marked. such as Exclusives, casting stills and photographer stills.
