Lighting With Colour: Euphoria 

“Capturing a Feeling rather than reality, is more important.” Wow

The real heroes of Euphoria was the focus pullers. Some of dolly shots were absolutely crazy

Euphoria is just a masterpiece of a teen drama show, it is serious, realistic and often dramatic at times with its cinematography to show the emotions and scenarios. I actually can’t wait for season 2 and the 2 episodes being released December to keep the fans happy and investors until Season 2 comes out and is filmed.

That South African accent coming in clutch, represent

with Euphoria and Waves, the cinematography in teen based entertainment last year was truly incredible

"Skins" and "Euphoria" are a great comparison to themes, characters, cinematography, etc. great reference, both classic shows! ✊🏾👍🏽

Education for free i am loving it.

never clicked so quickly

I’m so grateful to the universe that I found this channel 😭

This is great. Would love to hear your thoughts on Donald Glover’s Atlanta

I think it would be cool to see you analyse the style of cinematographer Sven Nykvist, the work he did with Ingmar Bergman is absolutly outstanding!

Season 2 was shot entirely on ektarchrome film!!! How brilliant is that for a tv show like this❤️

Tyvm for tackling series instead of only movies. I always wondered how a series maintains a lot of its identity with a constantly changing credits at then ends of episodes. Feels like a far more daunting task than simply doing a movie. I hope one day you may find a show like Deadwood (or it's recent movie sequel that attempts to tie up the series that ended somewhat early) for review, or a recent movie Killing A Sacred Deer which I found really engaging.

This is one of the best cinematography channels i’ve ever discovered!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing content 🙏🏼

Damn. This taught me so much.

How have a not seen this before? There aren’t enough good channels focused on studying cinematography. Great work!

probably my favorite video essay ever. my goodness.

It’s darnest thing that Emmy didn’t recognize this show’s innovative part that I enjoyed every minute of it.

I can't even put into words how good and informative your videos are, thank you so so much

Amazingly well done show, the cinematography was simply arresting throughout

This is by far the best cinema channel on RU-vid. Congrats!

im studying an "audiovisual" degree and definitely ive learned a lot more in this video than in my university, so thank you!

Well made analysis! Thank you for doing these, I am learning a lot.

Yes I’ve been waiting for this

Really enjoyed this. I was always curious about how they did all this. Especially the long tracking shots on the long roads when they’d ride bikes at night. Those were always confusing and intriguing

Absolutely needed

I love your videos! Extremely informative!

Thank you so much for this. Ive been waiting for a video revealing the hidden secrets of this Amazing series. Thanks! and nicely explained.

That was a super interesting video! Well done :) I'm excited for the next ones!!

Your editing skills are top notch

love your videos so much. You rock!

Excellent analysis, as always

I would love to see you look at the style of the late Néstor Almendros, he shot some of my favourite films, especially Days of Heaven and Kramer vs. Kramer. This was another great video, I loved Euphoria.

Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!

Amazing work as always, I feel like I learned a lot!

Truly beautiful.

Love these

About time!!

Absolutely brilliant.

I love both of these works. Thank you so much for the incredible video and art lesson! Highlighting more women cinematographers would be amazing.

"Fiebre Amarilla" de Juan Manuel Blanes, que grande! Uruguay nomaaa.

amazing content and the video super well put! better than most of my lectures!

increible trabajo! muchas gracias por compartir esto con nosotros!!

I would very much like to see a video explaining how to analyze a movie like you do because I really like your analysis

Best video I saw about Euphoria

thank you for this amazing video!

As always awesome video

loved this video, great work man, You have just won a subscriber.

Great to see my favorite TV series contrasted with one of my favorite movies, Call Me By Your Name.

This is very helpful!

you kill it every time!

beautiful and well done.

Thank you!

Loving these breakdown videos as a filmmaker. thanks .. make more ✅

Excellent video.

Wonderful video Grey, it seems like a lot of things shot digital use and play with color as a substitute for the lack of texture film grain offers. Not a bad, I’ve just noticed it and think it’s a fun “work around”. My favorite painting is Christ In the Desert by Ivan Kramskoi btw :)

I enjoy learning filmmaking through your videos. I am a freelance cinematographer and has no film school degrees and learning everyday from sets. can you please give an in depth video on how to lit up different scenes in with different lighting setups and equipment. Thank you.

So good mate!!!!!!

Great stuff.

Woah really informative

I can't believe this is free ... Excellent video!

God bless you sir!

Great video

Loved your video! I think you should do another video for season two. The creator of the show changed the camera from digital to film. I wanted to see what if your thoughts.

That's amazing man! Where did you get all that technical information?

I just love your videos so much! I subscribed to you because you have taught me so much about cinematography. I am actually pursuing engineering and am pretty sure that that will be the thing I will end up doing for the rest of my life, even if my real love lies for cinematography. I am from India, so here the job of a cinematographer is basically non-existent and their work is not really even considered when we talk about films. However, despite all this, my love for this art never faded. I hope that maybe, just maybe one day I might end up becoming one and my work will be known, but the realist inside me knows that won't come true. Your videos however have taught me so much about this art that I could had never imagined. Although my friends and even parents get bored when I talk about the thought process that goes into creating scenes, I still from time to time keep learning more and more about this work. Sometimes I question why do I do this when I know I won't be able to pursue this career, but there is just something about this art that just.....makes me want to learn more about it anyways. You have played a major role in keeping my interest in this work, and to that, Thank you. Please, never stop creating these videos! You are like my teacher in cinematography

I'd love to see your case study on American Honey, it was quite an exceptional production with no script, shot wild on an open road

The teal and orange look is not created only with the use of the light fixtures you mentioned. Even with a WB shift, a daylight fixture will never look teal, it will look blue. And the tungsten at 3200 will look yellow, not orange. The use of gels onset or the use of colour grading in post-production is necessary to achieve that boring teal and orange look.

Some of those shots look like an RGB Carvagio painting. Which makes me wonder: what do people think about the tradeoff between flowing tracking, uncut shots vs. static, long-held, patient composed shots. I imagine the flowing shots work for Eurphoria and the story that's being told, where emotions aren't well-composed and boundaries feel fluid. I think of 1917 too. I don't know if I remember any one shot. But I remember feeling the flow. I know that you can still have great composition in fluid tracking shots too, like with the extras used in the foreground of the carnival scene here in Euphoria. But I guess it's harder to catch and savor. I know the story dictates which is better though.

Great

by the end of 2021, you will reach 1M subscriber.

Not me looking for videos like this and then I hear you speak. Howzit chomi 😂🇿🇦

VERY good video, thank you. But an interesting one as it’s never felt like ~emotional realism over realism~ was solely up to the cinematography in film/TV. Certainly in paintings that’s different, but Euphoria often felt so heightened ALL the time in the way it looked. The “elevation” was happening at story points that weren’t even emotional, as if they were just hoping to create a “new realism” rather than focus on emotional realism. It seems that emotional realism can be achieved in so many other ways than just lighting and camerawork but that may be a discussion that includes the directing and definitely the writing as well

Thank you for another great post. Some obs: for human eyes primary colors are RGB - Red, Green and Blue. At 6:30 you inserted Red, Yellow and Blue colors, traditionally basic colors of pigments (painting). Why? Because Maecell Rev talks more about yellow? And Orange - blue is more like orange - teal on the color wheel (complementary colors) - famous colors set in Hollywood - orange teal look.

i just realised they weren't using digital to shoot the movies, i mean while i was watching i was like... ohh they are emulating 35mm color but they were actually using 35mm 🔥🔥😍😍

Fine, clear analysis. Thank you. A very basic question: how much of this colour work is in-camera and how much was done in post? You note the use e.g. of tungsten / LED contrasts. What about the rest of it? Many thanks.

First thank you for your job it's always great quality and well explained! Euphoria looks like shooted by Rina Yang right? (some elements you describe here are the same in your Rina's video)

So glad you tackled Euphoria. I am very surprised that your take on it implies directors don't have a say in how the episodes are shot, especially the "pilot" episode. If all was decided between the DoP and Show Creator, was the director just there to direct actors?? I'm having a hard time believing the first episode director didn't take a big part in deciding how the camera would move, the colors etc. If you have any resources to share that go in-depth about this, I'd love to check them out. Thanks for your work!

Now the third day ! plis

Do one video on Cinematography style of Seamus McGarvey

Would love to see a video on Wally Pfister's cinematography style

You should do a video on some hungarian DP like Vilmos Zsigmond and others...😁

🙌

please breakdown Netflix's dark series

Can you cover the work of Robby Müller!!

What is the painting at 00:50? Wonderful video as always!

I can’t tell y’all how happy I am as Hungarian guy seeing Marcell Rév making waves in Hollywood

The one dislike is from Realism.

Hi Gray, don't know if this is a thing you'd be willing to do as your channel seems to focus more on the creative side of things, but can you do a video explaining the difference between f-stops and t-stops?

I think you should check out Ida and Cold War. It would be a great analysis video

I understand this and appreciate it but i watch the house party sequences in the show and I'm like where are these high schoolers getting those crazy lights for this party

Tell me what post production gear they used? Although, the series have seamless transitions throughout the scenes.

What’s the photographers name who inspired the show not Peter Petra Collins, but a male luminous space artist

The only problem with hollywood is camera moves without a reason and most of time its all over if you want to really see aesthetic camera movement check kurosawa work.

I have yet to see this. Now I’m forced to.

Hey pal, could you explain slumdog million direction?

Any shows or movies that have dynamic camera movements?

Where do you go to research these videos???

Can I ask what font was used in your thumbnail?

Can you get the same wide angle field of view that you get shooting large format but with an anamorphic lens 🤔
