    Matthew Libatique is one of my favorite cinematographers. The classics are Black Swan, A Star Is Born (2018), and Requiem for a Dream. Iron Man was one of the first MCU movies I saw, which he shot. Excited for The Whale.

      Actually, back then, the movies had individuality
      So much that the demand was smaller, so the earlier movies could be shot on film
      Now that the demand is high, everything had to be done fast, like shooting digitally

      I don't think it's the lack of talent. they do have talent, they just don't care about innovation and unconventional methods anymore. No Way Home had the cinematographer of Avatar, and look how that looks generic, even like a student movie at times (especially by the end in that restaurant scene. it's really crazy for a 200m movie)

    He's great and happy he puts Filipino filmmakers on the map. But once, I was at Camerimage Film Festival in Poland a few years back where he got into a drunken fight at a bar next to the hotel I was at. I really espect his as a cinematographer but mixed feelings since then.

  • @marcosortiz5349
    @marcosortiz5349 Рік тому

    Very good video. But to make it clear, a cinematographer does not choses the shot or composition of the shot, as well as the type of lens. The director composes the shot, framing and type of lens. This is miss information and needs to be corrected. Cinematographers do not direct anything. They manipulate, arrange and paint with light, depending on the director's vision. And yes, an essential part of filmmaking.

    • @miknivek11
      @miknivek11 Рік тому +1

      Your statement is not entirely true. The composition, framing, lens choices are all decided in collaboration between a director and DP. Ultimately in narrative films, the director and/or the production studio usually have the last say, but a director will not commonly choose the composition or framing of the shot - that's more often the DP's role. But it all depends on the type of DP and director since some directors are more precise in what they want and some are more lenient and trust the DP to handle the frame, lenses and camera movements.

    • @marcosortiz5349
      @marcosortiz5349 Рік тому

      @@miknivek11 Dear Kevin. Composition, framing, lens to be use, are dictated by the director, not the cinematographer (and they are not directors, cinematographers don't direct anything. But this is for another discussion) And real directors do make all the critical choices on the set, including judging the performances of the actors. And further more, studios do have a lot of saying only if the film if is a studio picture. Back in the old days, the great cinematographers, like James Wong, Gregg Toland, Vilmos Zsigmond, Nestor Almendros, etc etc, composed lighting, but never dictated, commanded or directed. That is the job of the director. :)

    • @miknivek11
      @miknivek11 Рік тому

      @@marcosortiz5349 Hey Marcos, I'm not disagreeing with you. I just wanted to point out that there are plenty of instances when the DP chooses the framing, composition, lens choices, and camera type. After all, the DP is in charge of essentially anything within the realm of camera and lighting departments, since that's the DP's job to manage those departments, based on the director's vision. And the relationship between a director and DP is most often a very collaborative one, so it all really depends on the dynamic between the two people. I work in the current film industry so I see this done all the time. And yes agreed, the directors make the most, if not all, the critical decisions on set - they are the ones spearheading the vision so everyone relies on the director's input. But I have to say, film studios (or whoever has the most money invested in the project) has a big influence in the overall production outcome as well, if not more than the director, sometimes.
