@@gwm-btdbattlesagar.ioandmo9988 we would if someone bothered to make them. the accessibility of technology just highlights the lack of talent and ambition of the world.
To add to this conversation a bit I think the approach Gareth Edwards takes with his VFX is unique when compared to other directors because he was a VFX artist before he was a director. I work in VFX and there has never been a client who actually understood how we did our job. I think most creative people assume VFX artists just push a bunch of buttons and use special software to make the output image. However, like everything there is an art to VFX and the way you approach VFX changes whether the audience buys into it. Gareth fundamentally understands this because on Monsters he literally did all the VFX himself.
If the script was better, The Creative would be a new sci-fi classic. But nonetheless, the look, sets, effects and general production are absolutely masterful, and put almost all modern blockbusters to shame. And your video is brilliantly showing why.
@@multiversescriptutes8400 I can dislike something you liked. No need to get rude. If you think the script is great, cool, my opinion won‘t lessen your enjoyment of the film.
Maybe in the future a director’s cut would help? Kinda lost its’ soul in the end sequences... spectacle heavy. Didn’t ruin it for me, I love spectacle vfx, but character resolution rushed, Hollywood kiss, etc.
Awesome video Patrick, and congrats to Oren for The Creator, What a beautiful looking film!!! You guys are speaking my language, I work as a lighting artist in animation and VFX, and this is the conversation I am constantly having with my colleagues. There is a tendency to get caught up in the tech used, and its true that having the right tools is important, but there must be a defined vision from the very start. It's great to hear about the early discussions of the orange / blue colour palette and the styleguide references of Alien and Apocalypse Now, sitting in the cinema I could really feel that clear vision through out. I've worked on films that are made in the edit, but also films with a clear vision from day one and latter is always a real treat to be part of and it always shows on the screen in the end.
The Sony FX3 Cinema Line is a fantastic camera that can produce outstanding results. Pairing it with talented filmmakers contributed to the movie’s incredible visuals. It’s a great example of the right tools in skilled hands.
Yeah, small light and capable in the hands of someone who does genius work by operating the camera themselves with relatively less pre-planning is a great combination.
Really cool, Patrick. Love it. Also, Oren is staggeringly articulate. Just listened to him on a podcast, and the guy just speaks about this stuff with so much clarity and specificity.
People please recommend The Creator to your family amd friends! It's a really good movie and it's not doing so well, we need to support original stories!
Nothing at all original in this story. It ironically felt like a bad Chat GPT rehash of every war/action movie out there, with random and pretty much irrelevant scifi bits. Looked nice though.
I write this comment all the time - about lighting. I am a scale model builder and have worked for some of the largest companies in the world building highly detailed intricate scale models. I understand how CGI has replaced much of what scale models used to do. But - I have never seen CGI ever come close to the visuals in "2001 A Space Odyssey" of the space ship being illuminated in space. The depth, the clarity, the detail is unmatchable. Amazing. I have never - never - seen CGI in any film I have ever watched come close to that. And that film, as we all know, was filmed back in the 1960s, using a 'scale model'.....
Great points made here! I shot my feature OTHER MADNESSES with a Panasonic DVX-100 because it was the camera I owned at the time and I knew how to light for it. Very happy with the results (the film even won a cinematography award at The Arizona Film Festival) despite the fact that we used "ancient" technology.
Great video, but I do want to point out that the 160m budget for Rebel Moon is for both 3 hour movies, not just the 2hr of Part 1. Zack also adopted a similar approach to shooting and VFX that led to a low budget and streamlined process. Another impressive example of cost effective sci-fi film making.
I shoot Weddings. I had one Sony A7 III and an A6400. Bought a 3rd camera. Considered buy an A7S III, A7 IV, but the thing is, do I need 10-bit? Do I need larger files or 4K60? Are ANY of my clients complaining about video quality? No, no, no. Bought the ZVE10. Perfect fit, amazing image quality on 4K24, great ISO, great price. Thanks for confirming that we must work with what we have, and get better skill before getting better cameras.
This video was one of your best yet! I personally really liked the movie and wanna see it again! I wish it was making more money because it deserves it!
This is the first of your videos that I have ever seen. By far one of the best videos on RUclips. So full of great information and inspiration. I love how you challenged us to make our first “Monsters”. Thank you, thank you thank you for such a great vid. You gained a new subscriber!
I am a photographer. Taught for 20 years at a film school. You hit the nail on the head. You play with light. You have to understand composition. My gear is a Canon 5D Mark 2. That camera is amazing.
One of my fav YT creators right here...vid perfectly captured the magic of cinematography. Use the camera to tell the story, don't tell the story to use the camera. Masterful work brother! That webcam shot tho... 😮😮😮🔥🔥🔥
I'll start by saying that I love watching a good classic, The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Ben-Hur (1959), Shichinin no Samurai (1954), Casablanca (1942) etc. For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed collecting the films that left an impression on me. First on VHS, then I renewed my film collection in DVD format, then I loved the increase in quality to the Blu-ray format and finally, I acquired all the movies I got, which have since been re-released in 4K. Over the years I have followed with great pleasure the evolution of film cameras used in cinema. The quality was increasing, the realism was increasing, the resolution was getting closer to reality, IMAX and the sound...The sound! In short, evolution! All this description to see a fiction film arriving in 2023 with an image from the 80's and the typical grain of the 50's... I'm sorry, but enjoying the film's plot, very present/futuristic, with excellent Dolby Atmos sound, I was really shocked by the salty mix of poor image quality and grain! Please, filmmakers, everything in its time, the grain belongs to the 50s and the low quality belongs to the 80s. They can be used in new films that portray these times, but not in those set in the present, much less in films that represent a society in the future. Evolve! PLEASE!!! Ps: Now, if you make a movie with a bright, sharp image and good HDR clean grain version and another with grain, like the "Director's version" it will please Greeks and Trojans 😄
"Know ur tools" totally agree, as long as the tools are figured out, then you can focus on the story. Tools are just tools, as long as they speak to your vision. Thank you for hosting him.
That was an awesome interview. Thanks for putting that together. One thing I took away from Oren's words was the point of taking the environment you're shooting in, and base your lighting off of that. Use the queues the environment is giving you to decide how to shape your light. And like you said, use the camera that you already have. With a well thought out plan and direction, you can get what you're looking for.
Great analysis. It's true that digital cameras are just data sensors, and nowadays the only important part in selecting a camera is the ergonomics and workflow of the camera. I think this is also a testament to the power of lens selection. It was a throwaway line, but those Kowa anamorphics are gorgeous, and brings so much character and aesthetic to the film.
From those 20 years spent on film sets (plus my years as a freelance photo-reporter), there is a major lesson I have learnt and that shall be here to stay : them we call "technicians" in the world of imagery actually are artists performing their craft with machines, but they are true artists down to their core.
This is why i love using my OG BMPCC for all film ideas. Its challenging and yet capable of doing all I want and need with such a small package. Great work man!
THANK YOU for highlighting that the camera doesn't really matter!! God I have genuinely seen over a dozen youtube thumbnails talking about how the FX3 was used for The Creator and it's not that big of a deal, they were limited by the gear they could carry around the world on commercial flights with a small crew, if they could have used the Alexa 65 Gareth used on Rogue One you know they would have, this was a compromise, not a statement. Oren puts it well when he says it's the least interesting part of the film but that he understands why people are interested in it. If you've worked with cameras you know anyone could easily film an entire feature film on a consumer camera, that's not surprising, it's just that this was one of the first times it was proven on a big budget film.
This is like when I see these articles or videos talking about “You can shoot movies on an iPhone” or “Olivia Rodrigo shot her new video on an iPhone” but a lot of times these people have access to full studios, crew and gear most of us don’t. That’s what makes the difference.
@W1||88 “A lot of times these people have access to full studios, crews and gears, that most of us don’t, that makes us different.” Think about how Christopher Nolan made his first film “The Following” with only $6000 of his own budget, the actors are his friends and relatives that have their own full time employment jobs on weekdays, in which they could only film their scenes on weekends as part time, and the whole film was shot on a Super16 camera with black and white film stock with a little crews and budget. In addition that Nolan directed, written, produced(with his wife Emma), Edited and filmed (yes he’s the DP in the making of the film) all by himself. Took him, his crew and casts a year to complete the entire film. At the end, his film received positive reviews and feedbacks from audience and made him and Emma stepped their feet into Hollywood. As Patrick said, that’s talent, makes the difference.
@@alexchrysler2339 I agree it does but what I’m specifically talking about are like these iPhone commercials saying “You can shoot this on iPhone” but they have like car mounts, a full automated dolly, a huge jib, like thousands of dollars worth of lights, etc. I just find commercials/videos like that a bit disingenuous.
@@W1ll88 What Apple showed and tells you that is giving you an idea that you could use a smartphone to make a short film yourself IF you have the budget. How you want the visuals to be looked like, it’s up to your creativity, efforts and your available budget. If you have the budget, you are definitely can access to these services for your production. If not, that’s where guerrilla / run&gun filmmaking come into place.
I just saw this film and absolutely loved it! Made even more so by the gear choice. I think for me, the way he shot and the equipment used.. offers far more scope for the rest of us (removing the CGI etc). With ‘good enough’ camera gear and some lighting, there will be interesting locations near all of us.. it’s just taking the time to perfect the skills to make those come to life
I saw this baby opening weekend on IMAX and from a visual standpoint-this movie is incredible. And the subject is really great too but I needed more. I felt like they really put a lot of complex ideas into a two hour movie and it easily could’ve gone another 45 minutes and I would’ve loved it. I felt like the story needed more time, more time to play out these scenes for the audience to really emotionally connect to the characters and what was at stake.
This is a great perspective, I have always told my friends while talking about filmmaking that it is more than just the camera and the crazy editing filmmaking is so diverse. Thank you Patrick Tomasso for this video.
Great video Patrick! Hope more people ( youtubers in filmmaking industry ) will talk and teach more about how to make movies, what’s important in them, techniques, etc rather than another unboxing of new amazing gear that we need to buy
I watched this movie in IMAX and it was truly impressive to learn that it was shot on an FX3 - grant it there was probably 50k worth of equipment in and around it and the DP made the place look like perfection. That being said, seeing it in IMAX meant the screen was absolutely massive and saw A LOT of smudge in the lowlight areas of the screen that's usually visible with lower-medium end cameras and at night time you saw a lot of the camera imperfections come out since the screen was so big. Would've been cool to see how AMAZING the visuals would've been if it was shot on a higher-end camera, but nonetheless what the DP and director did was amazing.
good thing movies aren't for filmmakers to pixel peep, right? a better camera would have made 0 difference except tech folks on youtube wouldn't have something to complain about. i understand what you're saying, but its exactly why i made this video. that stuff... does... not... matter.
I own a copy of Creator, and find it to be absolutely brilliant. It's right up there with iconic films that cost much more to make. Films like Avatar, Star Wars and LOTR!
This movie was stunning! This was a really interesting video thank you Patrick! I think that one other key element of why The creator looked so good with this budget is that Gareth Edward started his career as a VFX artist. He knew exatcly how they worked and what they needed to make everything he wanted in the most efficient way possible!! Nowadays with bigger budjet movies, they don't know how VFX studios work and give them impossible deadlines and changes to make at the last minute resolving in them making acceptable cgi but not good cgi!! That's why marvel and DC movies look bad recently! Gareth knew the importance of their work and their way of working!! I heard VFX artist who really had a great experience working on The Creator, in comparison to other big budjet movie where a lot of artist work crazy hours and end up quitting their job because of the working conditions! The Creator is really the kind of movie that we need support!!!
Thanks for showing us the visuals and strategy behind the movie vs. the equipment being center state. I think Luc Forsyth positioned the FX3 importance well by saying it showed that not having "good enough" equipment is no longer a good excuse.
you said, it location, talent. props and vision. just because I person have an expensive camera doesn't means images will came out beautiful, you really have to have vision and know what you can do from your own style
First video of yours that I've come across and I subscribed straight away. Love your style of interviewing: you ask great questions and then just let them speak, leaving your insightful "take-away analysis" afterwards, which I enjoy too. Thanks!
This is great, Patrick, Gareth is really a talented director/shooter. And Oren is so spot on with the importance of a color palette. This is true for movies and run n gun corporate video as well.
Love this! I'm learning cinematography right now. I'm finding interviews like this and productions like The Creator to be super inspirational! Learning how to play with light and make the most out of a scene/setting are incredible pieces of advice for anyone. Would love to see more interviews like this!

@@impatrickt💯
Well hey come watch the Frame & Reference podcast, used a C500mkII for the first two years lmao
Who would've thought that shooting on location is better than shooting in a green screen studio. Keep it up Gareth (and Patrick).
If you’re ever unhappy with your camera purchase, just remember that Gareth Edwards was able to shoot Monsters in a cave, with a box of scraps.
“Well I’m not Gareth Edwards.”
not everyone is Gareth Edwards and is surrounded by teams of people wanting to work with us
To add to this conversation a bit I think the approach Gareth Edwards takes with his VFX is unique when compared to other directors because he was a VFX artist before he was a director.
I work in VFX and there has never been a client who actually understood how we did our job.

However, like everything there is an art to VFX and the way you approach VFX changes whether the audience buys into it.

I love having to explain the concept of rendering to a neophyte... they think it just comes out “poof” perfect, seamless and ...instantly. 😆😞😤

The main reason why everyone focuses on the camera is that while you can buy one, you can't buy creativity.
What he mentions at the end about immersion is exactly what I felt as a viewer. I wanted to physically visit the world of the film.

Thanks for showing us the visuals and strategy behind the movie vs. the equipment being center state.
I think Luc Forsyth positioned the FX3 importance well by saying it showed that not having "good enough" equipment is no longer a good excuse.
you said, it location, talent. props and vision. just because I person have an expensive camera doesn't means images will came out beautiful, you really have to have vision and know what you can do from your own style
Excellent vid Patrick, great interview, educational and entertaining, oh and it looked great!
Thank you for asking my question.

素晴らしい映画でした
It was really a beautifully shot movie. I really wanted to move to that location.
Very well said!!
First video of yours that I've come across and I subscribed straight away. Love your style of interviewing: you ask great questions and then just let them speak, leaving your insightful "take-away analysis" afterwards, which I enjoy too. Thanks!
This is great, Patrick, Gareth is really a talented director/shooter. And Oren is so spot on with the importance of a color palette. This is true for movies and run n gun corporate video as well.
Thanks for watching! Colors in the frame is so damn important. I got a new video coming that focuses even more on this.
Love this! I'm learning cinematography right now. I'm finding interviews like this and productions like The Creator to be super inspirational!
Learning how to play with light and make the most out of a scene/setting are incredible pieces of advice for anyone. Would love to see more interviews like this!
Less buying, more learning, you got a sub!!!
This is a fantastic video Patrick!
Thanks!
