2/4 Turner's Thames

First broadcast: Jun 2012.
In this documentary, the presenter and art critic Matthew Collings explores how Turner, the artist of light, makes light the vehicle of feeling in his work, and how he found inspiration for that feeling in the waters of the river Thames.

A thoughtful and engaging film about Turner. The cinematography by Patrick Duval is outstanding. A film both gorgeous and informative.

I enjoy the energy you bring to the story. Your words and movements in front of the paintings are perfect for television.

I value Matthew Collings greatly. So well spoken... but dude keeps walking in front of the paintings while hes talking! Can't bloomin see the work you're on about Matthew
I know its an old doc but still...

[@byronbuchanan3066]

Quit walking in front of the paintings.

That is what my first impression was as well✌🏻.
......Then I started to notice that the presenter would quite "the frame" and let us look at the particular painting, he had been talking about, and give time to contemplate: what he had just shared. 😊

LOL! Quite irritating! I still prefer the voice-over to be more predominant than on-camera narrative. You begin to listen with your heart and let your eyes do their work.
