I go through some of Vittorio Storaro's cinematography techniques to help you understand his unique style.
Just to be clear: Vittorio Storaro changed his style to suit the movies he shot. The goal of this video and article is to drum up enthusiasm and a yearning to learn more.
Think of it as a tribute, nothing more is intended.

Master Cinematographer #VITTORIOSTORARO 💐
These videos are tremendous.
I'd love to see one of these on the often underrated John Toll. He did marvelous work on The Last Samurai, The Thin Red Line, and Braveheart. There is a poetic naturalism to his work that I admire hugely.
+Malcolm Klock I second that. Would be amazing.
+Malcolm Klock Absolutely, I'll add him to the list!
Malcolm Klock underrated ? He won 2 Academy awards ;)
His work with The Wachowskis is also incredible.
His work on that Iranian film was really underapericiated
Vittorio,italian genius,proud to be italian like him
Thanks for doing my request! Great video!

Best channel about movie techniques I've ever seen. Really great job!

Fantastic! These are so well done that film schools should start adding them to their curriculum.
+MediaTech John Thanks!
Great video. Your explanation of the cinematography of Vittorio Storaro is like a painting made of beautiful words and phrases. I like it.

Congratulations on your videos dude. I've discovered your channel a few days ago and I just can't stop watching them. Great analysis. I'd love to see one on Guillermo Navarro, a great mexican cinematographer who usually works with Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) and other directors like Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn) and Tarantino (Jackie Brown).
+Joaquín Chazarreta I'll add him to the list.
thank you for doing this!
+Kyle Hammitt you're welcome!
Wonderful series! Straightforward and to the point, with enough opinions to get you thinking. I would very much appreciate it if you put Chris Menges (The Killing Fields, The Mission, The Reader) on the upcoming list! :-)
+rhalibus Sure, on the list!
Awesome! Thanks!!
+Alex Vecchi You're welcome!

You're welcome!
I love your videos! Can you make one about Sacha Vierny?
I'll try!
One thing I am surprised you did not mention. Storaro has suggested a standardized film format that he calls Univisium. It uses a 2.00:1 aspect ratio shot 3 perf on 35mm film.
It uses much more of the physical film strip than the usual method, saving money on film, and because the film frame goes right to the perforations in the film strip, it creates that glorious wide aspect ratio without the need for anamorphic lenses.
Since he proposed this format, many of his films have been shot in Univisium.
What's the aspect ratio of this video?
wolfcrow
Haha, touche.
The greatest one has less views than other :(
Thx a lot
+Pascal Montjovent You're welcome!
How do you usually find your information? Even finding specifics like what lenses they used and stayed away from. Thanks.
can you do a video on James Wong Howe or Christopher Doyle? Howe being the cinematographer for films like Hud and Seconds. Doyle being the cinematographer for In The Mood For Love and Chungking Express.
Sure!
It will be great if you can do cinematography of Hoyte Van Hoytema
+Jamyang Dorji He's on the list.
Do Sven Nykvist. He helped with most if not all of Ingmar Bergman's greatest films. Hell you could do a whole video on 'Persona' alone
+Brandon Ramones He's on the list!
You could do Gilbert Taylor!
(Hard Day's Night, Strangelove, Repulsion, The Omen, Star Wars...)
+Tomy Added to the list!
This was really insightful. Could you make a video on Subrata Mitra, Cinematographer to Satyajit Ray?
Thanks, sure!
2:05 what movie is that
You forgot to mention Captain EO. :) That was Vittorio Storaro.
kazuo miyagawa
Quick question: Do the directors choose the colours for scenes or the Cinematographer?
Really great job on this understanding videos, I would love to see the understanding of robert richardson and janusz kaminski, make it happen.
+Jonatan Martos Will do!
I'd love to see one of these on Wally Pfister :)
+Blue Calm Productions On the list!
My analysis request would be Carlo Di Palma
+kip calendine Great choice. I'll add him to the list.

Do an analysis of Mario Bava.

+Zach Antle Absolutely. Both are on the list!

We all would love to see more details. 5 min feels so less as your videos are so interesting.
+Arindam Talukdar This is hard to do as is!

+Prashanth Kumar Thanks!
Robby Müller, Raoul Coutard & Asakazu Nakai please!
+Andres Gtz Sure
Someone even made a Metal Gear Solid V reshade that simulates the apocalypse now yellow look
Great video as always! However, wouldn't it be possible to find some higher quality versions of the source material? I mean a lot of the films "The Conformist", "Apocalypse Now" and "The Last Emperor" really shine on Blu-ray and I find it really a pity, that most of the film footage you use looks as if it was taken from a VHS-source... No critique just an observation.
I just find it a little bit of a bummer to be honest, since it's all about the cinematography and therefore image quality does matter.
+Independent Frames The effort to rip DVD or Blu-ray content isn't worth the effort.
+wolfcrow well i for myself think it would definitely be worth the effort. and also you can find high def rips online really easily... that's what all the other film-essayists do too.
+Independent Frames I'm not going to pirate, if that's what you mean. The clips are all from TH-cam, as explained in the description. I do accept that full HD clips would be better, though.
+wolfcrow I see your point. However i don't think it makes a difference that they're from youtube. copyright is copyright no matter the source
+Independent Frames No, as per TH-cam's terms of use, you can use clips for educational and analysis. Many channels operate this way. I can rip Blu-ray content for this, just that I don't want to waste my time and money doing it.
Piracy, on the other hand, is not something I want to get myself into. Just my opinion, of course.
1:36 what movies is this?
Jeff Cronenweth please
+David Bazabal On the list!
i know he's relatively "new", but can you analyse the Cinematography of Bradford Young. Thanks
+Olu Yomi Ososanya I'll add him to the list.
hey can you make a video on Indian cinematographer p.c sreeram
Sure!
Jack Cardiff please
Janusz Kaminski!
+Kris Opala On the list!
