"People confuse 'pretty' with good cinematography."
- Roger Deakins
Exactly he speaks about him self and is work. 😂😂😂
@@blender_wiki
What do you mean?
I think in case of Skyfall and Blade Runner 2049 he sometimes kinda did go for a rather pretty than good cinematography
I was not familiar with Deakins. I saw recently his work in Kundun.Loved the cinematography,masterpiece. The predominant golden shade in the scenes composition,the landscapes,the opulent ceremonies,ritualistic dimension,monastic court etiquette. Really stunning work
He’s so correct that people have become obsessed with the megapixels and raster of cameras instead of the composition of the shots.
I remember, when I first started with photography, a lot of people told me that „my camera makes really nice shots“, when I shown them my work.
So they had no clue, how long I've tried different lighting settings, added objects to the scene to balance it, chosen different outfits for a interesting color scheme and tried to make a pleasing composition in general. Especially a lot of people, who are not in this kind of stuff are like that.
Gear doesn't bring talent, neither does it bring experience. Most of the time is having less the best way to learn things. So I am pretty sure that skilled people like Roger Deakins could shoot a great story with just a smartphone, and it will look insane.
Ah yes, coming from the guy who has no problem shooting with the best equipment there could ever be and literally being able to build his sets from scratch
I love that Deakins is on record saying that he'd shoot a movie on a phone if it fit.
He doesn't care about the tool itself, but instead on how a tool gets the specific message across.
Weather it's an Arri Alexa LF or 16mm film camera. An interviewer once asked him what he think of Tarantino bringing back Ultra70mm in Hateful Eight.and he was pretty meh about it. He just said that it's just another tool. Which perfectly describes his philosophy.
I totally agree with that philosophy. I made a video called 'The Medium Is The Message' which comes to the same conclusion - pick the medium that is most suited to tell the story (be that a smartphone or Imax).
@@InDepthCine I watched it. I seriously mean that the more videos of yours I watch the more love this channel. For me cinematography has always been the most interesting part of filmmaking as it is the way the viewer gets to explore the world of the film. Of course editing, acting, set design, costume design, ect play a huge part in that too. But the composition and lighting dictate what to show and what not to show.
And as your channel talks about all things cinematography, it really resonates with me :)
This channel is a hidden gem every filmmaker needs to know about!
🙏
💯
I agree
Agreed 💯
I love this channel. Please, never stop! I'd also love to see film based analysis - very technical, but also explaining the motivation behind certain visual decision; in regards to story.
Thanks. Got a video coming up on that. Stay tuned
One of the main things i noticed when i first watched Sid and Nancy - when i was just beginning to become a cinema lover - was the beautiful cinematography, and only now i found out that Roger Deakins was the DOP... amazing!!!!
You might be the best new channel of 2020!!
Haha thanks!
And 2021 ! I’m staying tuned ! This is going to improve my cinematography skills
I wasn’t keen on watching 1917 as I don’t really like ww1 stuff.
But I sat down after all the hype and watched it.
I was in awe and has to be one of my favourite films now for filmography.
Roger is best cinematographer all time!
what a beautiful video, what a precious channel. the way you talk about the technical aspects without taking away what is really important. I still learn so much but still ground myself to the philosophy of all that i learn. thank you for being a free learning medium
Thank you for this incredible channel. I’ve been searching for a channel like this for a long time!
Thanks for watching. I'll try to keep making more of these videos when I have the time.
Roger Deakins is my favourite cinematographer.
He's just uber cool! He really is like a rolling stone member.
I remember a video about digital vs film. He on one side saying it's way more practical and putting down a munch of practical, technical and respectable reasons why digital is better.
And Tarantino on the other side just saying bunch of romantic things about film that didn't say much.
Deakins is amazing.
You have an amazing sense of structuring. Great video. It would be fantastic if you did an essay on Bruno Delbonnel's work too.
Great suggestion. I love his work and he definitely has a signature style. Plus I think Inside Llewyn Davis is a masterpiece.
@@InDepthCine Totally a masterpiece. And not to mention The Darkest Hour.
Amazing channel and content. I especially love how in-depth you go with every aspect of film making, from talking about specific prime lenses to more general concepts. Keep it up!!
I mean his name is In Depth Cine
Your channel really delivers quality insight on the efforts and development of these cinematographers and I truly commend your work.
Thanks for this. Amazing effort putting it all together.
I like drawing and photography and it helped me find my passion for finding the right frames. I've been writing a script but for some odd reason i thought it was mediocre and lacks the dept. But realizing that masters like Roger dekens make story boards inspired me.
Thankyou for this video. This A great channel that every Cinephile should follow.
Skyfall, Blade Runner 2049 & 1917 have a widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio, however, in IMAX, the aspect ratio of the three films are 1.90:1 with 26% more picture at the top and bottom of the screen.
Such an amazingly talented man. I have alot of respect for him
Fantastic, well done!
Really engaging piece, great job.
🙏

didn't think the gear portion would be so interesting, but the bit about not using anamorphic was cool to know! Thanks
Glad you found it interesting. I have a video coming up on anamorphic lenses.

I would really love to see an analysis of Freddie Young's cinematography.
He's a true inspiration

Great channel! Please do Bradford Young when you have a chance
My newest video is on Bradford
I love this channel
King ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well Done!
Great channel! Love it as a movie enthousiaste. One suggestions maybe turn the music a bit down in volume, it is to loud at some times :). Keep up the great video's!
What film is the shot at 3:26-3:31 from??
One of my favourite DOPs. He is a legend indeed.
Next: DARIUS KHONDJI. Please make a video essay on Darius Khondji. I think Mr Khondji is among the all-time greatests.
Where do you find information on the specific lenses and cameras used in each movie?
As always, this is a wonderful video! Is there any chance you might do a Cinematography Style breakdown of Greig Fraser?
Thanks. He's on the list. I'm excited to see how he shoots Dune!
@@InDepthCine Same, but I'm even more excited to see how he films Matt Reeves' The Batman. No doubt both that and Dune will look stunning.
Roger dekins one of the best cinematographer in the World i like Very Much he is best
i really need to know what the song used in the background is here 9:37 its so beautiful
dude, you are inspiring me. thank you
Deakins' cinematography is pretty inspiring!
@@InDepthCine totally agree! i have been studying and doing my best to learn from his techniques and implement them into my own videos. love his use of framing by far
This channel is amazing....can you do an analysis on Gordon Willis' work on Godfather I & II
Definitely at some stage. Thanks for watching!
Where do you get the storyboards/notes for the No Country for Old Men stuff?
how exactly does Deakins create his LUTs? Does he go location scouting, take sample images in the flat picture profile and then pre-build LUTs that way for the various situations?
Nice question. In the article in the description Deakins describes how he worked with his colourist Mitch Paulson at EFilm to develop a LUT when the Alexa came out.
So originally I imagine he would've probably brought in some Alexa test footage and then graded it with his colourist until they had a general LUT that he was happy with. He doesn't mention if he uses one LUT or if he has different LUTs for different lighting conditions (day/night/etc).
This LUT then gives his colourist an idea of what look he wants, so when they do the final grade he'll tweak the colour based on this LUT.
@@InDepthCine ah ok, will definitely check out the article. Thanks for the quick reply!
From the sounds of things back when he shot In Time he worked with a colorist to create a LUT that was based on his work on True Grit. I think he's used that same LUT ever since.
@@InDepthCine check out the Team Deakins podcast, he goes into creating LUTs in depth in one of the episodes :)
He shot everything on 1917 with the 40mm. Except for the bunker scene which was 35 and the river scene which was 47mm. I think the 40mm field of view (32mm on Alexa open gate and 27ish mm on film) is is got to focal length.
Thanks for this video, could you cover Malik Hassan Sayeed? Particularly for his work on Belly, I think his one of the best cinematographers that doesn’t get coverage.
can you do cinematography breakdown on blade runner 2049 and 1917 ?
Would you consider doing a video like this on Larry Fong?
Dénis Villeneuve is pronounced “de-NEE VEE-nove” (rhymes with bee dove). The surname is old French for new town, and “Villle” is a single word pronounced as Vee
Just a tiny niggle in an amazing well-researched video.
Reminds me of the Spanish last name Villanueva, which also means the same thing.
❤❤
Mr. Deakins is really a fan of orange.
Not the juice, as in the orange lighting.
Where do you get the high quality bits pictures or storyboard Scans from? :) working on a presentation about deakins for Uni
what music did you use at conclusion part 8:55 ?
May I ask where you found all the ungraded shots from 1917?
Aka`zing. Thanks
What song was used in this video? Great analysis of my absolute favorite cinematographer.
you can find it by searching up magenta yoga meditation :D
Superb video! Sad, there was no mention of his wife, though. They're a creative team that work together on these movies.
Deakins is one of the best men behind the camera, since Freddy young
What is name of the background music of the video?
Lol I didn’t know that the special lenses used in The assassination of Jesse James was called “deakinizer”
Intro music source please ❤️
Superb videos! Can you do one on Janusz Kaminski? Minority report is so different from Catch Me If You Can and so are all his Spielberg movies...A very interesting and versatile DOP
Also some Indian DOP requests : Santosh Sivan( Dil Se, Urumi, Iruvar) , and Pankaj Kumar ( Ship of Thesus, Tumbaad)
As we as doing individuals could you also do individual films.
Obviously, very informative and knowledgeable. My only suggestion would be to use a different style of music. I know the music here kind of suggests a calm that is Deakins; however, it really can lull one into sleep. This is the type of music I use at bedtime.
