    Gordon Willis was on of the greatest cinematographers ever, its a shame hes now more well recognized and acknowledged. I really love his use of shadows, specially on Manhattan.

    God Father I & II are cinematography gold. They were shot in the 70’s and still look like they could have been filmed today. The shadows, the film stock everything about those movies is amazing. Willis is a legend.

    The Eastman 100T 5254/7254 stock defined New Hollywood imo. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful and stunning film stock that has ever existed. The way in which skin tones were rendered and how soft and versatile the stock was has never been replicated by kodak to this day. I yearn for the day that kodak brings back that stock so we can see imagery like this once again. Amazing analysis as always, Willis is one of if not my favorite dp of all time. If you could also make a video on practical lighting and exposing for the brightest area in a frame (specifically when shooting digitally). Thanks again!

    Only recently I (re)discovered Gordon Willis, maybe because of the low profile on his intense photography, which, for me, reveals a true master of exposure.

    One missing detail. Despite using Super Baltars, Willis insisted on Panavision creating a custom 40mm lens, as this was his preferred focal length.
    The optics were Cooke Speed Panchro, and despite numerous internet articles linking the look of the Godfather to the Super Baltars, the Panavision Cooke 40mm is probably the one lens that crafted the look of that film.

    I'm new to photography but have found myself leaning heavily into contrast and darkness... the overuse of the "see everything" ideal just makes me fall to sleep. Life isn't bright and gooey, its dark, sharp, boring and scary as f**k and should be portrayed as such. I also really like Deakins, I think his work is stunning. THank you muchly, I have a lot to ponder.

    Thanks for this great video essay. Three notes:
    (1) Conrad Hall gave DP Gordon Willis the moniker -- not "mantra" in referring to Willis as "The Prince of Darkness" (3min in.)
    (2) The narrator in the video refers to The Godfather when showing clips of Godfather 2 (8:50min in).
    (3) And Willis' work is being referred to over the one scene he didn't shoot (9:18min) Michael And Kay in the street outside their kid's school -- it was an add on scene and was too bright and colorful compared to the rest of the film.

    This is what is missing from cinematography these days. Back then you didn't have a video tap or a monitor you had to know. Heck Douglas Slocombe didn't even use a light meter for the last decade or so of his career
    This is what we've lost in this 21st century world of digital moviemaking and colour grading

    Im sorry i'm comment this in the best way: the difference about t4 ant t8 is 2 stops of difference, i think the audio is correct but the graphics should say t 2.8 vs t8. In the 8:06 of this video.

    • @InDepthCine
      @InDepthCine  3 роки тому

      Yes the text has 2 stops of difference, which is less than the 3 stops of difference which he typically liked to keep his interior/exterior contrast ratio within. Sometimes he'd push it to 3 stops, sometimes less.
      Just an example to show how much less dynamic range some of those old film stocks had in comparison to modern digital codecs (14 stops or so) and how much more control you needed to maintain over exposure levels back then.

    What he said about how you can't put both feet into a bucket of cement and leave them there for the entire two hours applies especially to The Batman. That film way overdid it with the moody color palette and dark lighting, to the point that even a simple hospital scene of Bruce and Alfred together was underlit and silhouetted. It felt really pretentious and excessive.
