In this episode of Cinematography Style I’ll be analysing the work of classic Hollywood Director of Photography, Robert Elswit, looking at his relationship with regular director and collaborator, Paul Thomas Anderson. This video essay will examine how his philosophy on creating a visual style, and the technical camera equipment and gear he frequently uses, contribute to the timeless images he creates.

I'm just after binging all of your videos! Amazing channel man, please keep this up. I feel the RU-vid Cinematography scene is very much missing your style of content. So much of the Cinematography content on here, while they are fantastic learning tools are often based on either gear or technique and sorely missing the discussion of philosophy, emotion, and visual style which you always include. Thank You and please keep it up!

@InDepthCine 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback! I think that often RU-vid channels are more preoccupied with reviewing every facet of technical gear rather than discussing how that gear can be used to tell stories. I think that filmmaking should been seen as a balancing act between the technical side and the emotional side.

@VideoBakery 4 года назад

Excellent work! I love how in-depth you got regarding the kind of gear he prefers. That's always helpful for new filmmakers like myself.

@InDepthCine 4 года назад

Thanks! Glad you found it useful. I'll continue posting more videos which are technically orientated.

i just want to say that with all that mess going on in the world lately, some of my classes being cancelled, not being able to physically go to school, zoom classes ect (which is obviously torture since im in film school) youve been such a great help. your videos are not just well done, theyre SO intresting! i learn so much from you, seeing how much knowlege youve got is just so motivaiting. thank you for creating such wonderful content, lots of love

@brobiak9548 4 года назад

Loving the videos man. Would definitely like to see a breakdown of Jeff Cronenweth and his work with David Fincher

@InDepthCine 4 года назад

Will definitely put that on the list for future videos. I've actually worked on set with Jeff before, he's a great guy as well as being a legendary cinematographer.

@ngonzale3 4 года назад

Id so love if you could document, Jan De Bont or Conrad L Hall. Jan De Bont played a massive roll in action cinematography before he became a solid director himself. And Conrad Hall is well, the great Conrad Hall. Many thanks for your videos.

@InDepthCine 4 года назад

Good suggestions. Will probably be making a video on Hall soon.

@tawwwm 3 года назад

Phenomenal work! This breakdown was an absolute delight, just as all your videos are!! Your attention to detail is fantastic and so incredibly fascinating to people like me unfamiliar with the inner workings of the cinematography universe.

@CitizenDevi 3 года назад

Also important to note he did shoot Nightcrawler on film, just not the night scenes because of the low budget.

@emilianobolado7763 3 года назад

Your breakdown, especially of the use of lighting techniques and gear, is incredibly insightful. Thank you for taking the time to educate on the art of cinematography. As an aspiring director, I find that most of my study-time lately is being spent on trying to understand lighting more than anything else.

@rachittiwari874 3 года назад

I started watching your videos from the past two months and it's brought back my faith in the RU-vid algorithm. You are right amount theories and techniques for someone learning, thanks for this!

@davidrojascastillo898 2 месяца назад

Hey men, i'm loving this series!! an idea came to me watching this episode. First, I realised this DoP has shot some of my favorite films... that was a great dicovery!! Now, the idea... since you talked about the New Wave hollywood era (70' 80'), it would be awesome if you could talk about styles by eras, not only by DoP... just an idea... heheh. Thanks for your videos, they are great!!

@cinesheikh 3 года назад

Love these videos of yours! Can you do one on Wally Pfister? I feel like his style of heightened naturalism is overlooked because of his age.

@DatrysiadMedia 3 года назад

I always thought that when I would start my cinematography I'd be more exuberant and faster paced but I fell I'm love with the slower pace, simpler lighting and slower movements all to try and draw you in. Don't get me wrong I love action films and what is being done today is stella but when I plan and get behind the cam I find that is just not where I get drawn to. Love these keep doing them

@user-mx6il5xo5g 3 года назад

Thanks, man! That was cool!)))))

@scottyskywalker5768 Год назад

Word of advice if you want to be a well recognized cinematographer Ro Rodger deakens, Robert Elswit , Robert Richardson , Rodrigo Pierto .

@intrinsiccinema7374 3 года назад

I grew up looking at films and I just can't stop the love of film grain in a movie it just has a timeless to it I see some movies today and they look like video cameras to me with just a lot of resolution just my opinion

@anthonycoolboi7781 3 года назад

I need to make a video essay on a cinematographer and I have no idea how I'm supposed to do this. I chose Robert Elswit as well.

@johncummings8602 2 месяца назад

Elswit's latest work on Netflix's "Ripley" is a visual feast. Very stylish and sophisticated. Choosing to shoot black and white in a region that's legendary for the quality of light and beautiful color palette is a bold choice. He obviously has been given wide latitude to create and has used it well. For an aspiring young DP, this series is a masterclass in taught, suspenseful sequencing, interesting camera placement and great use of natural light. A fresh contemporary take on Film noir.

@mhtuaes 2 года назад

I love your breakdowns, and I love how art is so subjective. Because I do understand how Elswit works and I do like his work in Boogie Nights, but the rest of the times I just dislike everything, I just feel like it could have been made differently in a way that would work more logically for me. It's nothing personal, just liking the visuals, that's all. Not the way he uses the camera, I do love that, but the lights and colours.

@andrewburgemeister6684 Год назад

His work with PTA is gold, it’s a shame they haven’t come back to work together. Funny you mention Boogie Nights (his photography on which is great), he said in an interview he said after reading the script he was drawn by the whole surrogate family theme and the concept of family roles within that movie and hence why he wanted to work on it, and his wife said “You’re so full of shit, you just want to see naked girls!” 😂

@Garrett1240 7 месяцев назад

Not sure what there's to dislike about his work. He's the best in my opinion.

@quxotic 3 года назад

I am highly influenced by his work. He likes to keep the light and shots as it is by playing with right choice of cameras and lenses which It self adds up best shots naturally.

@manojpandey7517 3 года назад

@bachelorchowTV 4 года назад

You kept using the word “classic”, but didn’t explain what that is or what it’s different from. I’d suggest providing some more background and context. Great video otherwise.
