I love the photography in Road To Perdition, especially the rain scenes and how the light hits through the rain through the environment and onto the actors, which makes a very beautiful sequence.
Hav u checked “Searching For Bobby Fisher”? Now you talking about the there goes the power of realism. I just love that particular flick where his philosophy taking place, we all live in.
Hall cried when shooting Paul Newman's scene in Road to Perdition. He was overwhelmed with memories of their earlier collaborations since thirty years prior.
I do have to agree with others about Road To Perdition being one of the most gorgeously photographed movies of all time. He might not have planned on checking out immediately after, but can anyone imagine a better "mic drop" for Conrad Hall?
Just re-watched Fat City last night. Such an incredible character-driven piece. Hall was the right cinematographer for the job. Stockton California never looked so bleak!
I was one of the special effects techs on “Road to Perdition” . I was hiding behind that car in that shot in the thumb nail. I fired body hits on Newman with a nail board in the pouring rain of which they didn’t use in the final cut.
Great, educational analysis & content. Conrad was a consistent cinematographer with a storyteller's Eye as well as keen with being a visual encourager.
I have to thank American Beauty for introducing me to Connie Hall. Even though we are not allowed to mention _____ ______, the movie is very stunning to look at and is still one of my favorites.
I just discovered Hall's brilliance by watching "Tell Them Willie Boy's Here" for the first time on May 15, 2024. I keep rewinding the opening scene from the moment Blake is dangling from the side of a moving train and aerobatically jumping off and rolling perfectly to a standing walking transistion, all on a slope. Hall times this to perfection by simultaneously capturing the train churning away on a curb with the mountain range in the vista and the perfect color of a desert sky. I have watched many openers but this one has to be the best of all time. Later Hall seduces us all in the midnight Orchid Scene when the bride finds Blakes gift hanging in a tree and he appears from the left behind her. The whole look he captured provided more sex appeal than any oral turn on a person could possible injest! After 20 or so rewatches I googled his name and found he had passed forward in 2003. I was hoping to contact him and tell him what his work meant to me. You can get no better film photography tutorledge than watching Hall's product. He was a master. I thank the maker of this fine video for giving us more insight about Conrad Hall. My sincere appreciations for you!
As always a fantastic video. Thank you. I´d love to see a Cinematography Sytel Video of my beloved Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel. :-) Would be so much appreciated.
I notice Roger talks a lot about Conrad as well. He has many wonderful stories about conversations they shared. Roger has a lot of respect and admiration for Conrad Hall
can you make a video about Guy ritchie 3 different budgets for example Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels as low Snatch as medium The Gentlemen as high.. great work love your videos

Easily my favorite film he shot was Road to Perdition. Absolutely gorgeous looking film
American Beauty and Road To Perdition are two of my favorite movies. Conrad Hall is a god in cinematography.
R.I.P Conrad Hall!🙏
'In cold blood'(1967) one of his best work
Keep the excellent content up, seriously good and helpful videos.

I have been waiting for this for so long, thank you ! Conrad Hall is one of my favorite DP
Roger Deakins's favorite cinematographer. Goat status!
Truly one of the greatest!
Great, educational analysis & content. Conrad was a consistent cinematographer with a storyteller's Eye as well as keen with being a visual encourager.
Love him, not afraid to break the rules and try new things.
thank you

I especially like his work on 'Fat City,' a perfect melding of imagery and tone to match the story.
Hall himself said it was one of the films he was the most proud of.
Long lenses also compress and separate or highlight the subject and compress the background most specifically when the aperture is wide open.
One of my favourite cinematographers. Excellent. For recommendation: Jordan Cronenweth.
Nice. Conrad Hall was one of the greatest.
I was waiting for this one for a very long time thank you so much !!!!
one of your best videos
Fabulous video.
Can't wait for you to do Dante Spinotti and Adam Greenberg.
he has a very interesting and a unique style, love it.

In Cold Blood has some of my favorite black and white cinematography. So crisp.
Conrad Hall is the master of happy accidents. That's when light hits a certain way you weren't expecting. and you jump on it.
lets go
Conrad hall was that guy everyone loved before deakins
@Brupcat definitely but what I mean is that people saw Conrad as the gold standard the same way people idolise deakins now
Fantastic work, many thanks!
Love your work
Very cool to watch and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
All my favorite episodes of _The Outer Limits_ were the ones Connie lensed.
Same here : IT CRAWLED OUT OF THE WOODWORK, THE INVISIBLES, THE FORMS OF THINGS UNKNOWN ...
YES. FUCK YES.
Very interesting video! Keep up the great work!
Please do Janusz Kamiński next...
As always a fantastic video. Thank you. I´d love to see a Cinematography Sytel Video of my beloved Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel. :-) Would be so much appreciated.
I heard about him for the first time yesterday on team deankins podcast when one of him disciples (the guest) talked about him.
I notice Roger talks a lot about Conrad as well. He has many wonderful stories about conversations they shared. Roger has a lot of respect and admiration for Conrad Hall
@@Sk8Grom I noticed because after the dp (he has a Greek name I didn't memorize) he had hosted mentioned him, they talked about him for a long time.
Haven't seen Road to Perdition yet but all I know is that rain shot is sexy as fuck.
Awesome episode! Would love to see a breakdown on Tonino Deli Coli btw.
Dope video
Expecting an episode on following legends
Tonino delli colli
Nester almendros
Robby muller
James Wong Howe
Vittorio Storaro
My favorite DP. Doesn't get talked about much coz he hadn't associated with famous directors besides Sam Mendes.
How about an episode on one of the classics from the beginning of the last century? Maybe Günther Rittau, Walter Ruttmann or Eduard Tisse ^^
can you make a video about Guy ritchie 3 different budgets for example Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels as low Snatch as medium The Gentlemen as high.. great work love your videos
Please make a breakdown video on Harris Savides.
please do a video on the style of Anthony Dod Mantle
Great name lol he is a huge inspiration to me
Can you do one on Dean Cundey?
Awesome as always. *Roger Deakins has entered the chat*
Can you do cinematography style of john alcott?
Can you talk about Henry Braham?
He was Roger Deakins' idol for a reason
CAn you do one on Larry fong
It can't be played.
Took long enough. ;)
