I really appreciate that you're often talking about the "deeper" aspects of photography. More than just gear, film stocks, techniques, etc, but photography as an art form, what it really means and why we do it. Big fan of Kurosawa and particularly Tarkovsky myself. Stalker is one of my favorite films of all time. Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven is another hugely inspiring film for me. Incredible work by cinematographers Almendros and Hexler.

Hey Masao, thank you for watching, appreciate your words and they definitely resonate with what I'm trying to do with the channel, explore deeper aspects of photography and art. I'm also a big fan of Kurosawa and Stalker is also one of my favourites, I'm really grateful to read the comments of my videos and find out that I have so many kindred spirits! Cheers for watching :)

Hell yes Days of Heaven is one of the most beautiful films ever made. Check out the Criterion blu ray, the booklet that comes with it goes into how the film was shot and it’s very cool. T. Hopper should do a video about Malick. Stalker is one of my favorites also, Tarkovskys work is perfection. Ivan’s Childhood is another favorite of mine.

As far as Welles goes, I became obsessed with him and have copies of almost everything he did. In summary of Welles, I felt he was the perfect Shakespearian tragedy in real life. Only after his life ended was he truly appreciated for the great filmmaker I believe he was. Gosh, I love these essays you do, please, please continue. / N

Hey Nolan first of all thank you so much! Appreciate your words immensely and I'm in complete agreement that Welles is the embodiment of a real life Shakespearian tragedy, and I have to say having watched many other Shakespeare adaptations over the years such as Laurence OIivier's, but Welles for me has made the best Shakespearean adaptations that I've ever seen!

Thank you, Tatiana. It's comforting seeing you dissect the cinematography and the photographic elements of these four filmmakers. Tarkovski is my favorite, as I grew up behind the Soviet curtain. Solyaris is one of my favorite movies, from it's psychological chords intertwined with a healthy dose of Sci-Fi. I was able to recreate some of that smooth cinema style using old Pentacon lenses which were era-appropriate. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more material.

Hi Tatiana, thank you for bring forth Douglas Sirk - I had not heard of him. I'm sure cinematographers are a subject for another day, but I wanted to bring up Kazuo Miyagawa, and especially Floating Weeds (1959.) From the first frame I was struck mute, the fastidious compositions, his use of the still frame, and everchanging composition within each frame...and the color. Oh the color. He was behind the camera on so many classic films - another favorite is Her Brother, said to be the first use of bleach bypass. Lastly, so I don't ramble - Agnes Varda, Cleo from 5 to 7 is such a tremendous work. I have so much Varda to catch up on... Both of the cinematographer/makers are in my mind every time I load film. Thank you!

In my life Tarkovsky's STALKER, the games it inspired, and the original novel, Roadside Picnic, that preceded it, have been critically and monumentally influential on me as a man, as an artist, and as an observer of the world around me. So many values and lessons learned through the eyes of someone with such vivid experiences and imagination.

For anybody whos reading this if you admire Tarkovsky's films you might also wanna check out these two directors Ingmar Bergman (some personal favorites are persona, the seventh seal, wild strawberries, the virgin spring, fanny and alexander) and Robert Bresson (some personal favorites are pickpocket, diary of a country priest, mouchette, a man escaped, au hasard balthazar) quoting Tarkovsky himself he said "I'm only really interested in the views of two people one is called Bresson and the other is called Bergman"

Film Noir offers all kinds of inspiration for contrasty photography. I use a lot of lines and vanishing point perspective in my photography, so I would say Kubrick has influenced me the most. He's also my favorite auteur. Some of the Sirk examples remind me of Hitchcock's "Vertigo."

🔥👍 The filmmaker's vision is just an idea until it is put on film by the talent and skill of the cinematographer. I highly recommend the documentary "Visions of Light" (1992) about the great cinematographers. One of my favorite films that influenced my work is "Days of Heaven" (1978), stunning color photography by cinematographers Nestor Almendros and Haskell Wexler. Almendros received the Oscar for it. It usually makes the list of the most beautiful films ever made. Glad you included Douglas Sirk's brilliant work. In that vein I would also recommend "Niagara" (1953) film noir inTechnicolor (cinematographer Joseph MacDonald) starring Marilyn Monroe; the use of color is stunning! ✌

On color, films, not exactly the Directors: One From The Heart (Coppola) and Punch-Drunk Love (Paul Thomas Anderson). Lawrence of Arabia is also great on composition.

great video :-) I've always been of the opinion that you shouldn't notice good composition / cinematography in a movie. It should make you feel comfortable and at ease. Having said that, certain works by Roman Polanski (I know, I know - but think about his work not the "man") catch my eye as standing out. But I think my favourite piece of cinematography is the opening scene from Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds - absolutely stunning way to lead you into a film.

I just bought a camera. A Bell and Howell Dial from 1968 on ebay. I was tired of taking photos on my phone. I wanted to take photos the way we did when I was a child. And I feel robbed that technology moves so fast that I never got a full chance to learn or get proficient at all the things I admired as a child. I love film, so these, of your videos, have spoken to me. It only occured to me after I had already clicked purchase on my camera that, in order to stop taking pictures on my phone, I got a camera…that looks like a phone. ;} Aside from one black and white class in college in which I used my Dad’s old Pentax K1000, I have no experience with film photography other than that of my childhood. I am interested in pursuing it as a creative art form, but also as the predominant way I capture images of my life…like we used to. Please let me know if there are any (if you want a number I’d love 3) ideas you can impart to make my photos more interesting than the sometimes dissapointing rolls that develop. Filter? Settings combination? Film stock? Anything?

That's very true Jay, its a shame that in today's theatre's you only watch what is commercially appealing for the majority of audiences, I wish that was a bit more effort made into perhaps screening some classics world wide or once in a while feature more contemporary work made by "art house" directors so that the general audience can have a contact with other types of filmmaking. :)

JSYK, there is a russian photographer who became famous being at first recognized by Andrey Tarkovskiy (he was offered to be official photographer on Tarkovskiy’s “Stalker”movie). His name is Georgiy Pinhasov, the only Magnum photographer from Russia.

Welles and his contemporaries may have had to be creative to work around the Hays Code but Tarkovsky may have had to make his movies somewhat impenetrable to confuse not just the audience but more importantly the Soviet authorities. Of course movies influencing and inspiring people making images is an automatic. We spend more time watching movies than we do in houses of worship and their influence on our actual actions seems much greater. The pandemic limited access to movie theaters and accelerated the building of home theaters/shrines.😅 I'm sorry, what was the question again? Oh yes, please more videos on movie makers and their visual language techniques. 🤩

That's very true, Tarkvosky did struggle a lot with soviet authorities and with political persecution / instability in the country. Cheers for your input and I will definitely take your suggestion on board and work on more videos like this :)

Béla Tarr and Theodoros Angelopoulos are also inspiring directors with respect to the photography.

@TatianaHopper 2 жыл бұрын

Oh my I actually had Angelopoulos on my list because he is one of my favourite filmmakers of all time, literally! But I thought it would be too much to include Andrei Tarkovsky and Angelopoulos so I've left him for the next video!

Interesting that Kurosawa film "The Hidden Fortress - 1965 on the well it looks like the final wake scene at where a crowd of people are looking at him is that is similar to W Gene Smith the Spanish Village on the his interpretation of his photo of the Spanish women looking at the Old Man lying in state that is very Similar version to The Hidden Fortress Wake Scene - Wonder if he seen the photograph, and decided to work it into his film? Wouldn't you say? Also check out a film that was made in 1966 by director David Lowell Rich the film is called: Madame X with Lana Turner as it talks about maybe Greed, and which it was written as a 1908 Play by French Playwright Alexandre Bisson as the photography was kinda Dark, and sad in the ending as it reminds of the death scene in The Hidden Fortress, and Gene Smith Photo The Wake from Spanish Village, and it will make you sorry for Lana Turner at the end...

If you're going to watch STALKER then don't give up during the first 10-15 minutes; the harsh black and white can be off-putting but stick with it, the rest is in color. I wish I could see that movie for the first time again. The reason I say this is because my sister turned it off, she did not respond to the black and white imagery.

With all respects, but Douglas Sirk is no way near to Kurosawa and Tarkovsky! And what about Kubrick, Bergman, what about the great Italians - Fellini, Antonioni, Pazzolini, and what what about the Theo Angelopoulos??

@horaciomillan4181 2 жыл бұрын

Please do a second. Why don’t you include Fellini and Visconti?they both are visually defiant and singular, eventhough they share space, time, actors, musicians and photographers.
