Cinematographer Roundtable: Short Cuts With Robert Richardson, Roger Deakins, Caleb Deschanel | THR 

Great cinematographers, but a terrible format. In the old format, the cinematographers could really bounce off each other and offer some depth. Now it’s just boring questions with what feel like highly edited, sound bite answers. Let these legends actually talk for a while!

These use to be longer. What gives?

Please get rid of this format and bring the old one back.

This should have been an hour longer.

One does not simply do 13 min edited interviews of the DP god's.

wtf where is the 1 hour round table footage like it used to be

While everyone is complaining about the short format, can we all take a moment to appreciate what a lovely and competent moderator she is. She does her job to the perfection and keenly listens to what everyone is saying. She belongs here.

Are they not going to do an actual cinematographer roundtable this year?

you cannot simply bring these 3 legends in one room and only produce a 12 minute video. that should be illegal

"if you care about your job, you're nervous." The Great Roger Deakins, Amen

I don't know if was just me, but I really miss the real roundtables with the different talents around it. I think there's more feedback between them than these videos with just three people in it.

1:09 turn the caption on guys! Things escalated quickly there!

yeah they really missed a opportunity with this one. way too short. should of been a round table. disappointing.

Wish it was longer. Felt like a therapy listening to Bob & Roger

All great films I still think Roger Deakins is the most talented after seeing No Country for Old Men and Blade Runner 2049. Everything Tarantino directs I'm the first in line and Jon Favreau's too.

Three great cinematographers, but I have to say that Robert Richardson is my favorite. JFK and Natural Born Killers are visual masterpieces. Although Deakins’ lighting rig for the burning building in 1917 is absolutely mindblowing to an old gaffer like me.

his realization that everybody around him was also nervous was so valuable and couldn’t be more accurate. feels great to hear a legend admit it. great episode, loved the diversity in their projects.

Man those are amazing cinematographers and you guys did them dirty, they deserves more genuine exciting longer interviews

Hollywood Reporter failed us. This format does not go into the depth, only touches various topics superficially while the talent sitting here is so immense. The three are the best, most distinct DPs out there. I’d also like to make a request to call the legend Chivo Lubezki. Only he is missing from here. Please come up with a longer format, this is a disheartening format!

Really love these guys work. Very inspiring and great interview. Richards anecdote about lancing his eye- wow! " like a boxer in a title fight. "Stay committed"- indeed.

The subtitles on this video are WILD!

Cool boots gentlemen. Kudos!

These are DP Gods

we-need-full-roundtables

Bob makes an important point of focussing through the eyepiece rather than the monitor. I think that a lot of filmmakers today are just seeing it on the monitor and that's why the quality of the acting has gone down as compared to like a decade ago. The tools may get fancy but one should not lose sight of the main target.

I always look forward to the cinematographer round tables, but it’s a bummer they are shortcuts now. Bring back the original format.

bring back the old roundtable interviews.

Most people complained about the format last year already and it seems they're not listening to our feedback. Wake up THR.

@7:10 the exchange of looks for the question is priceless 😂

Lmao this seems so tense with the way they cut to the reaction closeups with zero emotion

These guys could all be brothers.

Roger Deakins (UK) (12 nominations / 1 win) (1995-2018) Robert Richardson (US) (6 nominations / 3 wins) (1987-2016) Caleb Deschanel (US) (6 nominations) (1984-2019) Deschanel (seated next to the interviewer) is actress Zooey Deschanel's dad

Terrible format. Go back to the actual roundtable with more cinematographers.

Release the full Abrams cut of this roundtable

Worst interview ive seen in a long time, so stiff, so old style. Love all of them but couldnt pass the first minute of it

13 minutes? What a shame.. Anyways, great stuff.

Jesus she's beautiful.... Her smile

Please tell me there is a real roundtable discussion coming out

The table isn't even round here, for god's sake!

3 masters of lights and shadows , is about time that Caleb Deschanel gets finally his Oscar , maybe not for The Lion king but for sure in the not so distant future : The Right Stuff , The Natural and Fly Away Home some of his gems.

those subtitles haha

Okay so no round table...

Caleb seems like the best type of DP to work with. Seems like a Very understanding and personable guy

Roger Deakins...forever my cinematic crush...

oMG i really want to be this lady interviewer, She was sitting with all the Legends.

There is somekind of a play hidden in the captions. It's wild ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pYF1qLatvhg.html - He in there? - Yeah, just knock. (knocks) - Look, just put him in the wardrobe, all right? What's it gonna hurt? Then if you need him. (snaps) You got him, all right? - Then I gotta have a conversation with that wardrobe assistant and man, she's a bitch. I just don't, please. - Look, look Randy, I'm asking you to help me out, man. If the answer's no, the answer's no, not no with excuses.

white haired gods

Deakins and Richardson are my favorite cinematographers))))

Por Roger, let him speak

What's up with CC not matching?

U KNOW WHAT WE WANT

That's the boringest place and the blandest color. At least saturate the image lol

This ought to be two hours! You know you got the heavy hitters of all time in the room when Roger Deakins is the least accomplished!

Release full roundtable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah this new format sucks, bring back the roundtable

the captions are going wild

You could at least get a fucking round table

The fucking lion king guy?? Come on guys

The Lion King? What the fuck?

I wonder if the crew were nervous!..

I want my 60 MINUTES! WHAT IS THIS SHIT

Don't do this format again 😭

This is so great! Love!

Longer, please

Wow, these short cuts are not good. Please have the old conversational style with a full hour. Please. So disappointing.

You wanted to 'tease' us with the 'teasers' before doing the hour long roundtable coz you have an entire year ahead of the oscars. How's that plan working out now?

Make this an hour and add in Bradford Young and Jeff Cronenweth and I can die happy

Mr. Deakins could’ve spoken a bit more ..

the best of them, deakins, said so little...only at the end...he's f..king great...

Why would you invite a DP from a movie that isn't live action even though the marketing team tries to convince the world it is?

I think the brief was to subtitle DPs not a DP scene from a porn film.

why did you publish this? uninteresting and should not have been so.

All awesome.

Roger Deakins is just so fucking cool!

Bring back the full roundtable

The Grip, The Grip was not nervous

If you care about your job, you are nervous .

The photos in the thumbnail look horrible

That table isn't even round!

And the table is not even round.

"...Okay." She's so cute.

No now under 50 in this club.

Where can I get some more of this good stuff?

The reason why we admire cinema

I want more! Like the rest of people :D

thank you! ill subscribe to this masterclass

Masters behind the camera

EVERYDAY WE GOT CLOUD

L E G E N D S!!

Great video

What a waste

Legends👌👌👌

roger 🧡

What a trio!

As a camera operator I would have a heart attack in that room

OG’s

Roger Deakins getting nominated for the Oscar again...if not winning one

Oh, come on -- like Deakins and Richardson know anything about cinematography. (Kidding!)

Damn this lady must have had expensive dental work given by how often and how many of her teeth she seems to want to show at every opportunity

Cringe interview. 0 rapport between interviewer and interviewees. Maybe next time an interviewer who can balance talking about the nuances of cinematography while not keeping casual film fans alienated.
