    I'm very glad that Bradford Young was a part of this conversation

      Cinematography Database meh ofcourse he would have been duh

    • @robertburks2126
      @robertburks2126 6 років тому +3

      Yea, but he had to go there (28:13) on an unrelated question.... why. I cant stand when people have to through some crap into a simple question. Just sad. It was digital vs film, nothing else.

    • @robyeone7976
      @robyeone7976 6 років тому +1

      Digital vs. Film... who cares? There are more important questions to ask.

      Exactly, he is the smart friend I wish I had. In a, smarter that me but never let's me feel it way. So cool, warm and wise. Always human being first. What a talent!

  • @sherlaneyuen5263

    Linus Sandgren's cinematography in La La Land contributed SO greatly to this magical film. Loved his work!

  • @_ethanmc

    The world needs more people like Bradford Young, not concerned with arguing about which toy is better but telling a real story and moving the culture forward.

    • @martyfunkhouser4298
      @martyfunkhouser4298 7 років тому +7

      It all felt unnecessary though. It's almost like he was implying you can't do both.

    • @_ethanmc
      @_ethanmc 7 років тому +16

      Marty Funkhouser I think he was implying that the conversation always seems to be about how a movie is being made and not why or what it means.

    • @MadMaxFuryRose
      @MadMaxFuryRose 7 років тому +5

      Ethan Megenis-Clarke But he's a cinematographer, not a director or producer or a writer. He could do the best job ever on a movie, but it's still gonna be the director or writer's story. This round table SHOULD BE about how a movie is made. The directors and writers get the WHY questions all the time.

    • @eme.261
      @eme.261 7 років тому +19

      "This round table SHOULD BE about how a movie is made. The directors and writers get the WHY questions all the time."
      No. Just no. A cinematographer is an essential extension of a director. They are the visual translators of the directors' intentions. If they do not understand the WHY, they cannot properly manifest the vision that resides in the mind of the directors. They are visual artists and a great director coupled with a mediocre cinematographer will make a promising, yet mediocre film. Cinematographers wield immense power over what the watcher ends up feeling. Great directors do not choose cinematographers in a happenstance manner. They know that the cinematographer can elevate or destroy their vision.
      So, cinematographers having a clear vision of the WHY of a film is critically important.
      By the bye, Bradford Young's no lightweight. He's already considered one of the 20 best cinematographers working in the industry today. Also, all one needs to do is watch Arrival to comprehend what a visual genius the man is.

  • @benjitoes
    @benjitoes 7 років тому +67

    Bradford Young is an astonishing mind and talent. I loved his two cents on the tired "film vs. digital" argument. It truly is about the intention rather than the technology. Why continue to have this circular argument about the types of tools we use to tell our stories rather than the actual stories and storytellers themselves? I look up to him and his community-centric thoughtfulness, social consciousness, and emotional intelligence. Fantastic roundtable.

      The way the Japanese characters ran, the way the christians were framed in the scenes where they are listening to the priests, they are huddled in to a corner of a room reminds me of Seven Samurai.

  • @Ifrit3004
    @Ifrit3004 7 років тому +35

    Thanks, this was really good. Also the Hosts are much better than the other guy who always interrupts and changes the topic to something else. I know they have limited time, but I'd rather have them finishing their story than being constantly interrupted, make a quick round at the end instead.

    Great conversation! I felt Bradford's words resonated with me on a deeper level. It is so important to bring "you" to your work and effort. Not Just your technical knowledge or experience but the fabric of who you are should be sewn into the work. Spoken like a artist who has explored the depth of his own character.

      bluminhio Mate it's by the year of the film. For example, I loved the Interstellar score, but I thought Grand Budapest Hotel was a good choice as well. I loved the Inception score, but the Social Network score was phenomenal too. (BTW both of those Zimmer scores got nominations)And I think you can't say that someone 'always gets snubbed' when they've been nominated multiple times and even won once.

"When did you know that you'd want to become a cinematographer?" People share so much about themselves when they talk about what they love :D next time skip the 'gigital vs film'- question for more personal stuff ;)
