I really enjoyed The Fountain from his Filmography, it was very unique and quite surreal and visually impressive and the story just pulled you in with top notch performances by Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz as well as the rest of the cast.
Correction at 14:54 --- the flood battle scene was meant to be understood as happening during the day, which is why they had that huge, expensive rigging. Libatique called it "Night for day" because they shot at night and the lighting could be controlled in a consistent fashion to depict a daytime setting in the rain.
You also could do videos examining long-term director/cinematographer collaborations. Steven Spielberg and Janusz Kaminski Luc Besson and Thierry Arbogast Mike Leigh and Dick Pope The Coen brothers and Roger Deakins, or Sam Mendes and Deakins(then again, you already did a video on Deakins) Stanley Kubrick and John Alcott
Absolutely. You’ve got to have substantial intellect to outshine everyone at Harvard & AFI, but the films he’d go on to make with Requiem, Black Swan, & Mother! completely subvert everything thought possible with the medium. He invented a new texture of storytelling that taps into the very real horror of human psyche through expressionism. There’s no one like him in the art form.
I love that you’re doing this series because it inspires aspiring filmmakers and shows them that you can do a lot of cool and interesting things without a huge budget.
It’s just so crazy how everyone with an iPhone 14 4k smartphone camera doesn’t even realize how much easier their journey to ultra HD storytelling actually is.. than theirs 😂
I want a Rodriguez video here for sure. But I'm not sure if I want it to be a budget levels one. What are some candidates? El Mariachi, Desperado, Sin City?
Phedon Papamichael is another DP I'd like to see you do a video on. I just had a look at his filmography and was surprised at how many of his movies I had seen and not known they were done by him. He is another fabulous cinematographer, and seems very chameleonic, not having a distinctive style that I can discern. But maybe someone like yourself can?
Dude I love your channel. You seriously make super solid content with good advice. I make similar stuff on my channel. I compete in film festivals and I’m even working on a feature film
How about Sydney Lumet? Primarily for his work in Directing Actors, for which I feel he is highly underrated. And he is too often left out of the Greatest Director discussions. Have you done Orson yet? Great work by the way!!
Hello, I like this channel "In Depth Cine" . There are many video talking the style of cinema, know now i´m wanther my obout your style on cinematographi!!! I só Relics, i liked, it is great showing this film on youtube, and for firts film was great image
I remember watching Pi for some random reason. It was an experience but the only thing I can really remember was the ending when the protagonist drilled that smart bump out of his head.
I agree about "mother!", but I also love Noah. I think the film was entirely him, its very depressing and misanthropic even --- producers would not have pushed for that.
Do directors or film makers, ever go back to doing low budget movies again, like they did in the beginning of their careers? or do they prefer to invest in big budgets?
Kubrick famously did. After making 2001 which was very over budget he did Clockwork Orange on a small budget. CO is a brilliant example of how good pre-production can really give you bang for your buck.
