I go through some of Sean Bobbitt's cinematography techniques to help you understand his unique style.
Just to be clear: Sean Bobbitt changes his style to suit the movies he shoots. The goal of this video and article is to drum up enthusiasm and a yearning to learn more.
Think of it as a tribute, nothing more is intended.

Excellent breakdown. What's nice about your commentary is that not only do you present it in a clear way, but you do so with utmost respect for the artist you are covering. As a result, I end up with a greater appreciation for the art of cinema and respect for the artist. By the way, I would love to work with Sean Bobbitt.
Thank you!
you never disappoint on how in depth the movie is and all the information is in a flow, nice work
Thank you!
Many thanks for following up my Suggestion. Brilliant Videos and analysis as always Sareesh.
You're welcome!
Man. again a great video. You're awesome, and I can't really tell you how much I love this "Understanding the Cinematography of" series. keep doing it with such informative details.
Thank you!
your channel is amazing. such high quality analysis. thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
The Place Behind the Pines is a masterclass.
So happy Sean Bobbit got included!
Could you please do Adam Arkapaw? He's relatively new but his work on Animal Kingdom, True Detective Season 1 and Macbeth is amazing (I think at least). Even Sean Bobbit says he's a fan ;)
I love all of your breakdowns! Got me watching new movies a couple times.
Dont stop this series!
But it would be nice to have a picture of the DPs at the beginning ;)
Thank you! I cannot add a picture without breaking copyright, unfortunately.
been waiting for this one...
I'd love to see one of these on Seamus McGarvey. I admire how he can go from small, intimate films like We Need to Talk About Kevin to things like Godzilla and Avengers and still have some really beautiful results across the board. Would be really fascinating to see his work analyzed.
Great. BTW, I find the long dialogue scene from Hunger really impressive. Maybe simple at first, but deceivably rich and complex. Each element of the scene - blocking, light, the characters clothes and event their position while seated - seem to have a very clear purpose, andI think one would still understand what the scene is about even if not understanding a word in English.
Thanks!
I know you have probably heard this a million times by now but I would love to see James Laxton, mainly for his most recent work on Moonlight. That would be great!
Awesome video as always!
Thank you!
Great as always !
Thank you!
beautiful work.
Great Video once again. Thanks again.
Thanks!
I'd really love to see you cover Laurie Rose who works a lot with director Ben Wheatley.. I dig his films & High-Rise especially is stunning - Thanks Great channel btw
Thanks wolfcrow!
You're welcome!
Amazing as always!
I would love to see a video on Dan Mindel :)
Thanks, sure!
Don't know if you're willing to break protocol, but what I'd really love to see is a video on the cinematography of Tarkovsky. Of course, he had four cinematographers through his seven completed feature films, but his visual techniques became pretty solidified - and firmly his own - by just a few films in. Anyway, there it is.
One day
Brian McInnis because he learnt cinematography in film school. Also, last I counted, there were 10 films of Tarkovsky, which he directed.
1. See the word 'cinematography' in my original comment.
2. See the words 'completed' and 'feature' in same.
For the 2nd, I agree my bad. didn't see "feature films" but for the 1st, I was actually agreeing to you when you said "but his visual techniques became pretty solidified - and firmly his own" So I was agreeing with you there, pointing out one of the reasons.
Very well. We part friends.
thanks for video sudhakaran, you make a video based on cinematography of sean bobbit , actually i have seen sean bobbit other films like the place beyond pines, his framing ,composition and blocking style changing according to director needs, if you watch shame ,hunger and 12 year of slave , those three films framing ,composition ,blocking and camera movement , is entirely different when compared with the film the place beyond the pines. personally i like steve mac queen film making style , his camera placement , his static framing , he dont move camera with out any reason , according to my observation if camera moves audience will follow the camera moves rather than image or emotion what we want show in the frame , steve mac queen moves camera only when some action take place with in the frame like some action scenes between character to generate some dynamic energy, and steve mac queen moves camera when image does not have any much importance to concentrate ,, remaining other shots maximum he use wide shots and static frames with slow panning and tilting . his dialogue scenes will be in wide shots , steve mac queen use his close up shots very carefully with a lot of emotion behind his close up shots , steve dont use close up shots as an insert shots in between the scene like other directos do , can you make a video regarding steve mac queen works his framing , composition ,blocking and camera movement ,in dialogue scenes , action scenes , and sound
You're welcome, thank you for the suggestion!
YES.
please do Greig Fraser! I would love to see examples of his work
Thank you man , this is great
Thank you.. It's a great as always..

Great video my friend. I'd really enjoy you breaking down the work of José David Montero. I enjoyed his creativity in The Hollow Point, however after learning from your channel, I can see some things are creative just to be creative vs the emotional effect it gives. Thanks.

Owen Roizman
What's the name of the movie at 5:00

Composition is 50% of cinematography? Can't argue with that
Maybe The Great cinematograph Jack Cardiff ? ;)

In the description now. Thanks!
If you like cinema, this video shows you the perspective of a projeccionist. Hope you LIKE it

How about Robbie Ryan? He and Sean Bobbitt are the masters of handheld camerawork, in my opinion.
