    The films that Darren Aronofsky makes occupy an interesting space. They straddle the line between experimental and realist, between mainstream and independent, between classical biblical allegories and contemporary tales.
    As I do in this series of videos, I’ll take a look at 3 different films made by Darren Aronofsky at 3 increasing budget levels: the low budget Pi, the medium budget The Wrestler, and the high budget Noah.

    You also could do videos examining long-term director/cinematographer collaborations.
    Steven Spielberg and Janusz Kaminski
    Luc Besson and Thierry Arbogast
    Mike Leigh and Dick Pope
    The Coen brothers and Roger Deakins, or Sam Mendes and Deakins(then again, you already did a video on Deakins)
    Stanley Kubrick and John Alcott

    Correction at 14:54 --- the flood battle scene was meant to be understood as happening during the day, which is why they had that huge, expensive rigging. Libatique called it "Night for day" because they shot at night and the lighting could be controlled in a consistent fashion to depict a daytime setting in the rain.

      Absolutely. You’ve got to have substantial intellect to outshine everyone at Harvard & AFI, but the films he’d go on to make with Requiem, Black Swan, & Mother! completely subvert everything thought possible with the medium. He invented a new texture of storytelling that taps into the very real horror of human psyche through expressionism. There’s no one like him in the art form.

    Phedon Papamichael is another DP I'd like to see you do a video on.
    I just had a look at his filmography and was surprised at how many of his movies I had seen and not known they were done by him.
    He is another fabulous cinematographer, and seems very chameleonic, not having a distinctive style that I can discern.
    But maybe someone like yourself can?

      @gudapictures 2 роки тому +3

      Kubrick famously did. After making 2001 which was very over budget he did Clockwork Orange on a small budget. CO is a brilliant example of how good pre-production can really give you bang for your buck.

      I agree about "mother!", but I also love Noah. I think the film was entirely him, its very depressing and misanthropic even --- producers would not have pushed for that.
