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.

Love these Cinematographer profiles. Very educational.

Ang galing! 👏👏👏👏👏

I wouldn't say he's one of my favorite cinematographers, but I do like how he emphasizes contrast in his shots.

Made the best looking MCU film and his work with Aronofsky remains unparalleled.

Awesome & Thanks :)

Can we mention Libatique without talking about the insane night for day shooting he did on Noah? Your video "How Darren Aronofsky Shoots A Film At 3 Budget Levels" goes into some detail about that crazy ambitious production.

Nice!

Jarin Blaschke would be a great next subject to explore

Great!

Thank you. Very interesting series. I would like to see a video on style of dan laustsen. Thanks for your effort

Such a boss.

Long overdue

please do cinematography style of claire mathon

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)

I appreciate the iron man 1 love

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.

"Taking creative risks." How often do these risks lead to bad outcomes? If they usually turn out OK, then he isn't taking much of a risk, is he?

I would like to see more investigation into this type of idea in this channel. He only ever talks about what works and barely scratches the surface of a lot of DP's with insight generally boiling down to "they do it to support the story" Gimme a bit more

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.

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.

@@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. :)

@@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.

Libatique and Jason Mitchell were the only good things about the “Compton” movie. Such a rubbish film.
