First rule of Hollywood color theory: As soon as you cross the Mexican border an intense warming filter has to be applied
-
No matter what you think about the story, Euphoria has some of the best and most creative cinematography in TV history. Great video as always
-
I think a vid on low budget methods for lighting would be a great topic, like can you use regular house lights as a film lights if that’s all you have? DIY rigs etc. also the discord server misses you ;)
-
I love the chiaroscuro look to Apocalypse Now where Brando's face is lit against a dark background which really show's how his character has lost his mind.
-
Joker is another great example of the color contrast and separation. I really like what Wally Pfister did with the colors and lighting in that film.
-
Euphoria has the best cinematography that I've seen from a tv show.
-
These always come in times when I need them the most.
-
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your content. It's well thought out, well edited, and very helpful. I love seeing when one of your videos pop up on my feed! Thanks!

I honestly wasn’t sure how season 2 would stack up against Euphoria season one since the first season was large format but there were so many breathtaking shots in S2. Was not disappointed at all. Glad to see you include some of them here.
-
Thanks for including those Euphoria scenes and excerpt from Marcel Rev! I loved that shows cinematography.
-
Please do a brief video on T stops. Please.
-
Your production value is so engaging. Thanks!

There's great use of warm colors in the movie 'Equilibrium'. They're sparing. The scene I'm thinking of is when John Preston pets the dog for the first time and smiles. The trunk light is warm against the stark background and illuminates Preston's face. To reinforce the warm motif, he puts his coat on the dog.

Can you do a cinematography style video on Robert Richardson?
-
9:21 “He also described how the most important color in the film was black, particularly in the silhouetted scenes with Kurtz..” - especially cuz Brando showed up to set way overweight & they had to use shadows to hide it lol

This guy has really been dropping bangers every week!
