The problem every cinematographer knows.
The conversations that decide how a film looks happen before the shoot, and they happen in pictures. A cinematographer needs the right frame for every sequence — the quality of light, the lens, the contrast, the camera height — and needs to find it again in a prep meeting, not the evening after.
cine.gallery keeps every frame you have studied, searchable by what is actually in it. Describe the light you are after and your own references come back. Group them per sequence and hand the gaffer, the director and the colourist exactly the frames you mean.
What goes in it.
Whatever you work from. These are the references kept here most often for cinematography, and the kind of thing people type to find them again.
