Rodrigo is a special kind of cinematographer. His style and versatility is evident within the films he works on. Amores Perros, The Irishman, Silence, and Frida are some of his best work. Great job Studio Binder.
THIS. It's the key to 20th century art music... and so much other art, for that matter: "It is not about making the scene beautiful, but it is about conveying an emotion"
I really love how he expressed cinematography as 'It is not about making the scene beautiful, but it is about conveying an emotion'. Loved this video so much...really shows what decisions and how they make them.
Every time I see one of StudioBinder’s videos, I’m just flabbergasted at the quality of what they put together *as what is essentially throwaway marketing material*. They build and sell software. That’s their actual job. But you would swear the company mission was to create the most outrageously high quality film-related content in existence. I have nothing to do with movies and I want to buy these guys’ software just so they keep creating at this level so that the rest of TH-cam can be inspired to attempt to operate at the level they’re at. Maybe this channel is secretly Jeff Bezos’ passion project. Or Steve Jobs is still alive and now makes TH-cam videos under a pseudonym. I’m struggling to understand how it’s consistently this good.
Appreciate this so much. Providing high quality film education is part of our mission! And if you do find a need for our software, will just put this here 😁 app.studiobinder.com/pricing
This is the kind of content that makes cinema beautiful. This is truly visual style. Gathered in a team work of director and cinematographer, their vision on film must be synchronized to transform a film into a piece of art. I think pietro is not that well known or respected as deakins or hoytema but he deserve a bit of more respect for his vision of reality but combined with his vibrant colors in his paintings.
I've lately been obsessed with movies that follow different storylines (mainly Jarmusch's). I'd love to see something on that! I don't know how much on a video you can make of it, though.
@@StudioBinder anything would be great! Coffee and cigarettes maybe? I love it and I've only read one article about it!!! Anything you make is a masterpiece either way.
My takeaway from this is that even the GOATs don't always get it on the first try. There are attempts and failures before finding the right combination.
Thank you StudioBinder. Your work inspires AND teaches an entire next generation of filmmakers (poor future filmmakers who didn’t know about StudioBinder…)
Hello StudioBinder, I absolutely love the content you guys offer. Informative, to-the-point and very comprehensive. I walked away with so much useful knowledge from the shot list and the exposure triangle playlists. Here’s a humble request (only if it’s not much trouble for you guys of course) would it be possible to see more Asian films get used an examples for certain techniques? Im primarily influenced by South Korean noir movies and Japanese movies and it’d be great to see you guys break down scenes of those movies if possible! As an example I’d love to see you guys cover movies like I saw the devil, the man from nowhere, the Rurouni Kenshin franchise, The Raid and so on! Much love. Thank you so much for the work you do.
We appreciate the feedback, definitely are looking into a more diverse catalogue of films. We have a video on Kurosawa's color palette that you might like! th-cam.com/video/g_6CYld7Vo4/w-d-xo.html
It really makes you wonder - Does one need to stick to a particular style and refine it to its perfection or is it better to be a genre 'chameleon'? perfected style or adaptability?
after watching this video, im pretty much convinced it's better to be a chameleon. but i might still change my opinion. this is a hard question. art doesn't have a right answer.
@@danielhuang2488 it IS complicated. I think its better to step your foot in the industry first-hand and learn as you grow. Maybe a mix of both is necessary :)
Going to museums or watching music videos is the best way that I get inspired to create a certain cinematographic feel. Executing it is a work in progress for me at the moment, but seeing these examples in the studiobinder videos really helps me learn how to go about the process.
Prieto my favorite DOP, his work in Silence is insanely genius.. he makes it so magnetic to watch especially for the people who adore artistic natural paintings
This gave me a loott of insight into cinematoraphy. I have always had the perspective that when a film is visually appealing that equated to it being a good film. It somehow got engrained in me. I am trying to learn more about the language of cinematography and what a shot has been shot that way. Still dont know when do i read too much into it or pass it off as just a "cool shot"
Have you guys made a video about how to use music in film? Like not the composed part of the soundtrack. I'm talking about lyrical music (whether that music be diagetic or non diagetic). Anytime i try to integrate music into my screenplays, I fear that it'll just feel like a cheesy early 2000's movie. Is there a video you guys have where it's explained what makes it work?
Do like the irish man feels like i grow old with him. Also i do like these types of movies where there is really no plot except seeing what interesting things the characters go through over the years. Though i feel the mob movies are better for this because having crime as the job keeps it interesting.
@@StudioBinder any character will do. What I meant is how to present and maintain it through out the film ( with help of position and angle of camera)? If possible pls make a video about it in detail.
*Great work but silence got me thinking. Top directors of Hollywood potraying persecution of christians in a compelling way!* However do they also do movies when the tables turn? I mean, where is the movie of persecution of followers of roman religion after constantine(the so called "pagans" which may not be correct description because pagan just means farmer)? Did they make a movie about that?
I’ve loved his entire body of work without ever knowing his name 😭
Same, i had forgotten his name but i've seen all of the movies listed in this video
You're not alone in that 😅
I always see videos about Roger Deakins and Emmanuel Lubezki but I don’t see that much about Rodrigo ,He deserve more recognition of his work
Thank you for not saying "underrated". 😚
Definitely, this was long overdue!
@@StudioBinder Please don't forget John Toll(Legends of Fall and Brave heart).His work for Billy Lynn's Long HalfTime Walk is pretty underrated.
Cinematography is something which can change each mood of a scene just by few changes with aperture,ISO, shutter speed and lighting it's magical
the magic of the movies 💯

Great covering him, glad you liked it!

First and foremost, art is about our emotions 👌
@@StudioBinder Well, at least that's the post-romantic perspective on it. :)
I really love how he expressed cinematography as 'It is not about making the scene beautiful, but it is about conveying an emotion'.

Always great to see the philosophy of great artists!

Yeah, I feel the same. I don't usually use things out of sentimentality, but it feels right to support them. I'll give it a look one of these days
Ditto. This one is particularly good. I don't miss the unctuous narrator. The cinematographer could be a voice-over pro.

Cinema is magic, plain and simple. Our brains know it's not real but our hearts forget and become overcome
That's the magic of the movies 💖
Cinema is art,and art has no boundaries
Spot on!
I would love to get into film making, especially now with understanding art and lighting more.
You learn the most by doing it so don't feel too intimidated! You're supposed to make mistakes

4:20 is brilliant
As is Scorsese ;)

I feel Rodrigo approached each film as its own unique project, and did his best to serve the story

@@StudioBinder which ones?
Please make a video on freezing time..Like everything freezes and camera moves around..
I have been asking for over a month now..
You mean like the matrix?
Could you provide a few movie examples?

Silence is his most beautiful film
If making movies was football. The director would be the head coach and the cinematographer would be their offensive coordinator
