DP/30: Black Swan Cinematographer, Director & Editor 

I love to see a team together laughing about their hard work. I really want that.

Libatique throwing shade at Darren is hilarious!

Matthew Libatique did an outstanding job shooting the films Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain

worth every second.

I love how you put the couch in the center of the room - amazing sense of space and mise-en-scene - well done

Wow this is so awesome... Long videos filled with gold. Keep them coming !!

LOVE the interviews, particularly the cinematographers like Roger and Wally. These types of in depth and informative interviews are so educational for the younger generation of film makers and cinematographers like myself. Sub, shared, tweeted :) Keep 'em coming!!! I'd love to see an interview with Inarritu and Prieto on Biutiful!!! What an amazing, beautifully crafted yet under appreciated film.

great interview. thanks for doing it.

Thanks @TheHotButton for this interview. Truly the most resourceful interview I've ever seen for a film. I know fellow indie filmmakers will benefit from the truth from these guys.

Great interview.

i love the last 15 seconds with the Rourke impression.

Good informative interview. Please do more.

Darren., you're awesome!!!!

I admire Darren Aronofsky, awesome director

Darren DID do commentary for The Fountain, it wasn't on the DVD but you can find it online. I have it.

James Wong Howe, Greg Toland, and Connie Hall are my favorite DPs

The best thing about Requiem is the commentary by Matthew... i want him to break down all his films for me.

I love loooove Darren, I think he is a genius! Hopefully this wasn't the last time you interviewed him! Great and talented people!

...is a legend.

There should be tons more views. Inspirational. And I loved when they were talking about how after two or three takes, they'll radically change the way they're acting to have stuff to play with in the editing room.

Aronofsky impersonating Mickey Rourke at the end, priceless. @55.15

They make a joke about the commentary, but I would legitimately purchase a commentary track for a variety of films. I think it is a great idea.

Such an insightful look into successful relationships between the director, cinematographer and editor. This was very good to watch. I am hoping to define my style as a filmmaker and I need the help of those who don't know me, who can give me honest opinions and constructive, knowledgable feedback. And, though through youtube, opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, I believe that hearing others reactions is how one is able to create more defined work. I hope it's not a waste of your time

I'M actualy 6th person who watch this on YT howe awesome is that

I'm so bummed they have no commentary on his past few movies.

The entire reason I watched this was because Libatique (the cinematographer) was in it. Who is your all time favourite cinematographer?

The adults are going back to the movies.

great interview. a couple suggestions, avoid these kind of questions: "what do you have to say to your actor that say you push them too hard?[...] Err, I can't name names, sorry" "do people write about cinematography?" besides that, great work.

Christian Bale directed Black Swan?

Roger Deakins

Am i the only one who feels uncomfortable the two guys pointing their feet at Darren?

he looks like freddy mercury little brother

Is it me or does Aaron really look like Christian Bale?

too much brain at work!

I hated this movie - the ending of Swan Lake should be positive - what was that ending? Very disappointed in the movie and also Natalie Portman - she is not a good actress! Mila Kunis was better - still could not save the movie! Greatly overrated!
