It's really great that CookeTV doesn't just feature cinematographers that have used exclusively Cooke glass on their films. I think you are going about it the right way - creating a valuable cinematography resource with reputable talent, under the Cooke brand but not exclusive to it. Cheers!

[@Hobnobz011]

You're producing excellent videos guys, thank you.

[@CookeOptics]

Thanks!

This is what I love most about filmmaking. All the effects you find necessary for your story need to be figured out and dealt with in a creative and professional way. If you happen to need to light scenes with candles it can set you on a journey where you discover all the different kinds of candles that are out there and more. Great video, I love it :)

[@navarafilmsproduction4942]

Thanks CookeOptics for this. It is such an honor and privilege to watch and learn from the master cinematographers, and also thanks to Gavin Finney for sharing your knowedge.

The end result was absolutely incredible. Cinema-level cinematography on a miniseries with an amazing british ensemble cast

[@SanczykLucas]

Glorious piece of practical information! Thanks!

[@MadManchris]

This is so good! Keep it up! More cinematographers should see this!

[@CookeOptics]

The best artist learn the rules, get comfortable with the rules, then break the rules.

[@nigelcarren]

The Two Ronnies managed with only four candles! I said (actually i'll just get my coat) GREAT video thank you. 🏆

Immense attention to details !

[@RedStarRogue]

And to think that Barry Lyndon was shot on only 100 asa stock. You really would need an f0.7 lens.

[@liberprimus6874]

Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work!

[@dugknndy]

great knowledge and interview!

[@Urkstore]

Fantastic video. Did he white balance the candles or are the candles he used just whiter than Kubrick's?

[@VoicesofMusic]

Many candles are made with lead, so be careful about which ones you choose if working indoors. Would be interesting to see a comparison to the Sony A7s II with the Arri.

[@overnightclassic2]

A7sII is garbage for professional work. It's a really bad 8 bit codec and the rolling shutter is not good either. It also has a weak 12 stops of dynamic range vs. the Arri. A7sII is not a cinematic camera and that's why it's never been used on a cinema or TV feature.

[@visanion1361]

Guys...any of you used mirrors for night candle/fire shoots for amplification???

[@MrVanyaGrozny]

PLEASEEEEE MAKE THE SUBTITLES!!!!!

[@hemlatadharmashaktu5331]

fast lenses

[@torsrive8920]

ISO 25600? :D

[@smej7300]

Lol who disliked this

[@jphilipcarr]

Too many candles! I’m sure in Tudor times they would be much more used to low light levels and were happy with far fewer.

[@caligulalonghbottom2629]

the trial scene looked ridiculous to me, like 20 30 arm floor candelabras... they couldnt have afforded to light rooms like that all the time, candles were very expensive.

show ! do not speak !
