What he pulled off in 1917 is just the latest exemplar of cinematic lighting and camera movement from a career defined by it. In this video essay, we’re doing something a little different — instead of us fawning over Roger Deakins like the cinematography messiah that he is, we’re going to let him speak for himself. Using Deakins own words from his incredible Team Deakins podcast, we get to sit back and let him talk us through his approach to cinematography, lighting, and his inspirations. Roger Deakins discusses how fishing as a child allowed him the opportunity to observe nature and how light plays in the natural world. How the work of still photography from the likes of William Eggleston and Brassaï got him focused on the details of an image. Roger Deakins cinematography techniques are based on simplicity. He recalls a quote from another famed cinematographer, James Wong Howe, about Howe’s ultimate goal was to find a way to execute cinematic lighting with a single light. And when you look at Roger Deakins’ work, you can see his dedication to simplicity and the love he has for image making. In films like Skyfall, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, No Country for Old Men, and The Shawshank Redemption, Roger Deakins has inspired an entire generation of his own. #FilmTheory #VideoEssay #Filmmaking — Music by Artlist ► utm.io/umJx Music by Artgrid ► utm.io/umJy Music by Soundstripe ► bit.ly/2IXwomF Music by Music Vine ► bit.ly/2IUE0pT Music by MusicBed ► bit.ly/2Fnz9Zq Music List: - Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman (from The Shawshank Redemption) - White Lightning - George Bernstein - Mesa - Benjamin Wallfisch, Hans Zimmer (from Blade Runner 2049) - A King Has No Friends - Red Licorice - Always Infinity - Goosetaf, Four Dogma, Kyle McEvoy - The Wraith - Tokyo Rose - Sea Shores - Solar Order - All Black (Instrumental) - Taz Conley - Reborn - Swum - Morning Colours - Red Licorice - If I Could - Chris Mazuera - Saudade - Sublab — SUBSCRIBE to StudioBinder’s YouTube channel! ►► bit.ly/2hksYO0 Looking for a project management platform for your filmmaking?
