A new generation of filmmakers are rising as they watch your videos

@VariTimo Год назад

One of the things you should mention when talking about the look being rich in color in contrast, is that his movies all (except Moneyball) have not just been shot on film, but were also finished on film. When he’s printing down, he is actually printing down. The digital versions were made by scanning a timed, printed, inter positive and grading that to match the analog master print. This reduces grain, and creates those rich colors with realistic feeling contrast. It should also be said that many of his lower light scenes have been underexposed by quite a bit to create realistic feeling shadows.

@jeffjefferson7384 Год назад

The blacks look really satisfyingly black too. TDKR definitely had that for me.

@VariTimo Год назад

@@jeffjefferson7384 For sure. The lighting and exposure when Blake first meats Bruce is nuts. And people still try to get that look and fail so often.

@waleedsokkarofficial Год назад

He always had the contrast and saturation down to a T even from Memento

@VariTimo Год назад

@@waleedsokkarofficial That's photochemically printed film for you there. You can't do much to change contrast or saturation with this process. You can do it some extend but most of it is just well exposed normally processed film.

@jeffreybablu Год назад

You can't imagine the sheer amount of lives you've changed with the knowledge you impart

@its_master_Roshi_Fkrs Год назад

Could you please do video about cinematography style of Robert Richardson?

@tatehildyard5332 Год назад

He made one years ago but I think it got taken down.

@jeevangopal112 7 месяцев назад

I love how contrasty, layered, and dimentional his images are. One of my all time favorites, I miss him

@RickJoaquim Год назад

Absolutely loved what he did on The Prestige. And his use of eye-lights. Great video

@jamesward3859 Год назад

Some suggestions for you Steve Yedlin, Bill Pope, Robert Richardson, Rodrigo Prieto, Dariusz Wolski, John Mathieson, Claudio Miranda, Dion Beebe, Ben Davis, Mandy Walker, Rachel Morrison, Bruno Debonnell, Phedon Papamichael, Dan Laustsen, Rob Hardy and Dan Mindel

@cugan83 Год назад

Has to be my favourite content on YT, a feast for cinematography nerds.

@scottysong Год назад

Thank you so much for posting this. Was waiting for someone to do a video on one of the GREATEST

@piusgyagenda Год назад

The video ended when am still interested to learn more. Thank you so much for this

@quickfilmmakingtips2870 Год назад

Brilliant video as always! I was wandering if you could do more videos on old-school cinematographers?

@TheWayOfDesert Год назад

Would truly like that you could take a crack at Jarin Blaschke, on his previous work and on his fabulous continuity with Eggers.

@JoeJoe-nb3lt Год назад

He got the best rag to riches stories ever , from shooting "porn" to shooting the batman lol

@deniss.6205 5 месяцев назад

@Chips-Lab Год назад

Very informative Thank you 🙏🏼

@jeffjefferson7384 Год назад

Nolan apparently has color blindness, so Pfister's talent is extra important in their collaborations. Hoytema is very talented (I love how Nope looks) but I don't think his movies with Nolan look anywhere near as good. There seems to be a big obsession with large formats and high resolution (65mm, IMAX, in monochrome, etc) and less interest in lighting setups.

@mateberg Год назад

I think that his most "artistic" work, to put it in some way, would be with Interstellar, besides being his first collaboration with Nolan, the colors, angles, and lighting of that film were beastly

@gideonMorrison Год назад

Disagree. Both Hoyte and Pfister are insanely talented, equally talented

@collin7818 Год назад

I hope you do Jan Debont one day. example of a cinematographer becoming a director. I love his work with John McTiernan and would be very interested to learn about his style

@RameshKumar-es7ep Год назад

Do a Cinematography Style video for Rodrigo Prieto and Robert Richardson please 🤜🤛

@geekmania1376 Год назад

Great video. Waiting for Rodrigo Prieto´s style

@Bluboy30 Год назад

Did he quit Hollywood for good? His first and only major directing gig was a failure, and I'm sure that took a big hit on his ego. I thought he'd come back and work with Nolan again.

@bobunitone Год назад

He directs commercials. He did the crypto superbowl ad with matt damon lol

@Bluboy30 Год назад

@@bobunitone Yeah, I know he directs commercials. I think he also directed a few of the Taco Bell commercials within the last couple of years. I'm sure he's well off financially after working on so many box office hits. But I thought he'd come back and be a DP again.

@bobunitone Год назад

@@Bluboy30 i feel the same. And same goes with Lace Acord, dipped out after Where the wild things are. Now just directing ads. Hollywood is a slog though and commercials is good money if you’re established. So I don’t really blame them for switching. But who knows, maybe he’s still got the itch!

@oniriscope Год назад

Yes The man had to retired as Dir after his directior’s debut floped… The cinematography of Inception is something else…

@HuanLeVuong Год назад

Remember when things was easier, we could borrow cameras for our weekend shootings.

@MegaShajijohn Год назад

Super 🙏 congrats 🙏

@atindrabiswasDP Год назад

It's really sad that he left Nalan's team as well as cinematography. 😟

@km099 Год назад

He finished the story mode, so my man is doing side quests now

@atindrabiswasDP Год назад

@@km099 Ha ha , couldn't have said it better . 😅

@Whoa802 Год назад

He should go back to shooting porn. 😆

@nitinandkongsiri3267 Год назад

Why did Wally Pfister stop being a Cinematographer?

@yetanotherbassdude Год назад

He wanted to be a director himself. Unfortunately, his directorial debut was Transcendence with Johnny Depp which lost about $50M at the box office, so he's only really directed some TV/streaming episodes since, apparently. It's a real shame though, as he's still a fantastic DP and I'd love to see him do something new.

@nitinandkongsiri3267 Год назад

Also Januz Kaminski and Phedon Papamichel have also become directors.

@Mario-tx4ll Год назад

He never did a DI on Nolans films, they were all finished photochemically.

@jijivishant Год назад

nice

@IsaacSurfsTheWeb Год назад

I've been a fan of yours for years, but these videos are especially helpful now I'm doing cinematographer case studies at university! Would you (or anyone) recommend any well-known cinematographers/DoPs who have a soft, dark, colourful yet desaturated visual style? Would be a huge help for my research

@its_master_Roshi_Fkrs Год назад

Robert richardson his work in JFK has a lot of desaturated images and hand held sequences and he uses back-lighting with blooming effect his images are really beautiful... Try case study on his cinematography especially jfk and aviator

@tatehildyard5332 Год назад

Robby Muller is another solid example of what you might be looking for. Did a lot with Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars Von Trier.

@jeffjefferson7384 Год назад

Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy might be worth a look (Blue and Red especially).

@lorcan545 Год назад

Sounds like a description of Carol’s cinematography. Lachmann is a cinematographer who gives a relatively large amount of interviews and whose style varies, but not so much you can’t distinguish his contribution to different auteur’s films.

@sunnydayfilmsweddingvideo Год назад

Bradford Young in The arrival?

@mukildasjayadas6378 Год назад

please make a video on lucas zal

@bibhuranjandutta470 Год назад

Is printing down is similar to pulling film

@Malum09 Год назад

A shame that after Transcendence his career died because other than some directing credits for Flaked and The Tick he hasn’t done anything since 2017.
