Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

First, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from around the globe. Whether you are a long-time member or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend.

First up, in this video from Variety, you'll learn from Oscar-winning Directory of Photography, Erik Messerschmidt, as he breaks down the opening of David Fincher's new thriller, THE KILLER. You can currently check out the Michael Fassbender-starring thriller on Netflix and see all of Messerschmidt's incredible work on the project.

Next, Nerdstalgic explains 'The Dutch Angle' in this video. You've likely seen this angle countless times with no idea why it's used, the impact it creates on the viewer, or how you can use it to great effect. Here, you'll go into the history of the shot and why it's still so popular today so that you can use it in your own projects.

As always, here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below!
