What Filmmaking During A Pandemic Really Looks Like: www.filmcompanion.in/features/bollywood-features/what-filmmaking-during-a-pandemic-really-looks-like-bollywood-movies-akshay-kumar-bell-bottom-vidya-balan/
@@Akshaykhandelwal100 lol , in everything u see nepotism... Give some credit to casting directors , they have done magic in films like Taare Zameen Par etc
This is why I love FC so much. They truly appreciate cinema and the craft that goes behind making a film. Also, the popular RUclips channel CineFix made a video where they discussed the 10 most revolutionary cinematographers which includes the likes of Roger Deakins, Sven Nykvist & Vittorio Stottaro and there they made a special mention for Santosh Sivan. I was so happy to see that his talent was recognized internationally even to some extent ❤😊
Instead of turning comment section into missing persons list, let us celebrate the DPs who are there. You guys don't expect FC to call fifty people for one episode, do you?
Could you be more prejudiced ? I will call out Film Companion when they act as PR agencies for starlets and a gew of these big production houses. At the same time I will still respect somebody like Santhosh Sivan giving an interview here, I am not going to type something irrelevant to poke fun on somebody else. That is the job of you people. You all think that you are intellectually superior to us but the truth is you all are so deluded and attracted to these people that you can't accept any criticism thrown towards them.
Pankaj kumar has the aesthetics and knows how to shoot an Indian film .. this man can capture scenes like no other... I hope we get to see more films shot by him
Finally.. you guys have given respect to the technicians.. 🙏 Good to see this, hope to see Editors discussions as well, Preferably Sreekar prasad, Aarti bajaj, shweta Venkat, Garry B.H 😊
Anupama and team thank you for such enriching discussions! We get to see interview on this channel that we don’t get to see elsewhere. So much toxic news and gossip going on...this is one of the few channels that is focused on the art and craft of making a film! Thank you!
@@rafiqueahmed9128 my friend, santhosh sivan is the only indian who got membership in american society of cinematographers. And he got 12 national awards. Absolutely he is a veteran and legendary cinimatographer. So please don't compare binod pradhan to santhosh sivan.
I have to say I am relieved, sometimes I was so convinced that the only way I can be a director or an artist is if I get a certificate saying that I am qualified in that specific skill set etc. This is very helpful, love it.
Thank you Film Companion You have done lyricists adda 2 weeks ago & Now you are doing Cinematographers adda. Thanks for being a true film journalism channel..👍❤️😘
Anupama and team has educated me that a film is not just actors acting or if the script is good or not. Watching all these discussions with DOP’s, writers, producers, lyricists and music directors have widened my horizon of how to watch films. Going forward I am no longer going to label a film as a hit or not based on the usual criterion. Thank you Film Companion for enlightening the audience.
They are the pseudo directors. What a lovely episode. I had requested previously for a round table with the cinematographers, thank you so much for that. Hearing them all together in a platform was such a joy.
very much appreciate this video. thanks for giving a platform for the people literally behind the camera. please do more of these for other technicians as well
Yes, one thing I truly agree that a cinematographer's work is the proof people who understand cinema actually will automatically get about the cinmatographer about his work and talent and that is the big screen for the cinematographers.
Thank you so much, thoroughly enjoyed this conversation - it made me think of the films I love in such a different light. Please do more round tables on film-making departments other than just actors and directors - it truly expands our view as audiences!
Awesome, Ms. Chopra. Well done for putting together a podcast with such fine technicians. Your shows with writers was also awesome. This is great content and they are such articulate folks. Looking forward to more such shows.
hey, can you please ask panel to plug their upcoming project or something of their personal work so that if I like them or their opinion i can look forward to their upcoming work.
Can we have one more session with all of them to understand their process. I also request to film director to promote the cinematographer whenever any film releases to understand the process.
Any for Music Directors Like Ajay Atul, Rahman, Vishal Shekar, SEL, Amit Trivedi, Salim Sulaiman, Neha Khanwilkar, or reginlonal music directors just to get the esscense how they work etc...
Mostly people in India are curious about Bollywood gossip. So many of the trade analysts and RJs have suddenly become film critiques without any academic inclination towards the art. Despite mass producing films we still do not have a magazine like American Cinematographer.
It's one of the best ADDA ever. Thank you Anupama Mam. I wish the legend Mr.Ashoke Mehta was there too but 😔. Ravi Verma and Binod Pradhan in the next ADDA mam please. Mam how difficult shoting action movies are should have been asked, DOP of URI, Baby were there.
Just a suggestion if the intro can be longer by showing the individual faces and their work first, had to pause every second to look for their movies underneath.
it was a very diplomatic interview. I liked the interview with lyricists because it opened our eyes and bring something new to the table. I was hoping the same from this interview. I was hoping to learn something new from their experiences. I waited until the last question, but nothing came out. Very typical so-called "interview" FYI, public is willing to explore more, but do you have something new to give???

Bring Editors plz...Most underrated job in filmmaking...but most important...
Santosh sivan is a true cinematographer that's why in this whole interview his camera wasn't steady even for 30 secs
Hahaha 👌
Hahaha
Good one...
😂😂💯
😂
Santosh Sivan's lightings are so soothing to the eyes. He is been doing it since computers were not a big enhancer
#CelebrateTechnicians
Cinema isn't just about actors.
Can we have a discussion with the casting directors as to how and what they do to cast one for a character.
Yes yes yes
Actor banna chahte ho
Probably they look if you have any connections in the industry or not.... The way nepotism is coming up
@@Akshaykhandelwal100 lol , in everything u see nepotism... Give some credit to casting directors , they have done magic in films like Taare Zameen Par etc
I agree @Veena I didn't mean everyone is currupted but wouldn't you agree that most are

Roja and Dil Se is more than enough to tell who Santosh Sivan is.
Wanted Rajeev Ravi also to be included. Anyways so happy to see Santosh Sivan. :)
Please do an Editors' one, there has never been such on Indian film channels.
Instead of turning comment section into missing persons list, let us celebrate the DPs who are there. You guys don't expect FC to call fifty people for one episode, do you?
Santosh Sivan - The Legend!!
Anupama should have also brought in Ravi K Chandran,Binod Pradhan & Ravi Varman in the Adda. Nonetheless this too is terrific!!!
Exactly bro....don't forget P.C Shreeram and Rajiv Menon. 👌✌️
And Govind Nihalani sir too.
Mohanan
Avik Mukherjee...the list is endless
Pankaj kumar is the best dop all time from india tbh
Appreciate Pankaj Kumar for Tumbbad 🔥🔥🔥
Also for every other anand Gandhi film
Thank you for doing this. It's time people understand real cinema and all those who contribute to it.
Can't expect from Indian audience
No hate comments, no nepotism comments, no boycott comments. None of the haters understand what's going on 🤣🤣🤣
SG hahahahaha only for people with brains
Hahahah!! Bang on.

@@ramkumarvenkat572 haha, agitated much??? Anyway, your reply fails to make any sense. Try harder next time. All the best 👍
Pankaj kumar has the aesthetics and knows how to shoot an Indian film ..
this man can capture scenes like no other... I hope we get to see more films shot by him
Pankaj Kumar is great. Really looking forward to seeing more of his work.
Indie Directors' Adda: Nagesh Kukunoor, Rajat Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma etc
Please!
Alankrita Srivastava, vasan bala , ritesh batra.

Finally.. you guys have given respect to the technicians.. 🙏 Good to see this, hope to see Editors discussions as well, Preferably Sreekar prasad, Aarti bajaj, shweta Venkat, Garry B.H 😊
Thank you for this insightful discussion, FC! It warms my heart to see how you're appreciating the unsung heroes of the movies we love. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for doing this. We want similar interviews for editors, production designers, colourists, composers
Anupama and team thank you for such enriching discussions! We get to see interview on this channel that we don’t get to see elsewhere. So much toxic news and gossip going on...this is one of the few channels that is focused on the art and craft of making a film! Thank you!
Finally, a cinematographer interview!!
Question : Who is the best cinematographer in this country
Answer : Santhosh sivan (Isc, Asc)
What u think about Binod pradhan.
@@rafiqueahmed9128 his works have been inconsistent, plus his range of works fall short of santosh sivan, ravi k chandran
@@RoshanSharma-nr8dg I think u r right in way
@@rafiqueahmed9128 my friend, santhosh sivan is the only indian who got membership in american society of cinematographers. And he got 12 national awards. Absolutely he is a veteran and legendary cinimatographer. So please don't compare binod pradhan to santhosh sivan.
@@sachinjoy6127 so the reason is membership
I have to say I am relieved, sometimes I was so convinced that the only way I can be a director or an artist is if I get a certificate saying that I am qualified in that specific skill set etc. This is very helpful, love it.
can we have a session with just the women DOPs? Would love to hear their story and suggestions
@@priyachhetri yes
Thank you ! Let’s have more of these behind the scene hero’s Addas - writer’s dada, editors adda, music directors adda.....
Thank you Film Companion
You have done lyricists adda 2 weeks ago &
Now you are doing Cinematographers adda.
Thanks for being a true film journalism channel..👍❤️😘
I so appreciate it.. it takes so many ppl to make a film. We need more such interviews pls
Much needed interview.. ❤❤❤
Thank You FC! Was waiting for this one!!
Santosh Sivan did not let anyone speak 😂😂😂😂
But none can be compared to him.
Santosh Sivan and Sudeep Chatterjee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Who else is going to straight to Rukmini Rukmini video song after this interview?
Just me??.... Ok!
I've always admired Santhosh Sivan. Haven't watched all his movies but the way he talks about cinema and cinematography is so damn intresting.
Thank you for making this ❤️
Anupama and team has educated me that a film is not just actors acting or if the script is good or not. Watching all these discussions with DOP’s, writers, producers, lyricists and music directors have widened my horizon of how to watch films. Going forward I am no longer going to label a film as a hit or not based on the usual criterion. Thank you Film Companion for enlightening the audience.
Would love to have an adda with the sound designers and sound recordists of the industry :)
ohh yes!
Please do a masterclass with Santosh Sivan
Should do a separate solo interview with Santosh and Anil. They’ll share such amazing stories.
Anil Mehta's cinematography elevated Rockstar to such heights. His cinematography was so beautiful and brilliant that made the movie so nostalgic.
They are the pseudo directors. What a lovely episode. I had requested previously for a round table with the cinematographers, thank you so much for that.
Hearing them all together in a platform was such a joy.
I just love these series virtual roundtable'ish
First it was the lyricist and now cinematography
Kudos FC ... More power
Some more of these plz
Finally!!! Film Companion thank you for introducing us to these obscure artists who shine though their art !
Missing PC SREERAM SIR
very much appreciate this video. thanks for giving a platform for the people literally behind the camera. please do more of these for other technicians as well
The set of people I always wanted to know more about. Thank you Anupama and FC Team for this. :)
Thanks a lot for this ❤️
Choreographers, Editors, Casting Directors,...please keep doing more of these Addas
This was so well interviewed!
Amazing Video
Thank you for putting this together ☺️
FC team need more of such addas with cinematographers !!
Santhosh Sivan 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It would be enough to interview Santosh Sivan instead of the entire cinematographers in India because others are just pre-school students
This is incomplete without rajeev ravi
Yes, one thing I truly agree that a cinematographer's work is the proof people who understand cinema actually will automatically get about the cinmatographer about his work and talent and that is the big screen for the cinematographers.
Excited to see all these super talented folks together!!
Thank you so much, thoroughly enjoyed this conversation - it made me think of the films I love in such a different light. Please do more round tables on film-making departments other than just actors and directors - it truly expands our view as audiences!
Great interview...... No big ego.. Cool dude
No one can beat Santhosh sivan and Sudeep chatterji.
You could have added ravivarmen
Very good session...so happy to see the renowned celebrated Dop's of india ..
Thank you film companion
Awesome, Ms. Chopra. Well done for putting together a podcast with such fine technicians. Your shows with writers was also awesome. This is great content and they are such articulate folks. Looking forward to more such shows.
Anil Mehta & Santosh Sivan❤️❤️
Hahaha
It would be even good if we had pc Sriram and Senthil(dop of all rajamouli movies)
This was great! Can we please have one like this with Film editors?
Great discussion, Why Avik Mukhopadhyay is not there
Thanks filmcompanion for bringing cast members other than actors to your platform
Thank you for doing this 💯💯
we want a seperate session with santhosh sivan sir...
you guys missed the review of Prakash Jha's Latest release 'Pareeksha'..would love to here your thoughts..
Hail Roger Deakins, hail emmanuel lubezki, hail Gordon willis! They are the visionaries. As a student, they are my inspiration.
Pankaj kumar answers were very clear and understandable
Great 👌👌👌👌👌👌
hey, can you please ask panel to plug their upcoming project or something of their personal work so that if I like them or their opinion i can look forward to their upcoming work.
Awesome chat! Loved it
Can we have one more session with all of them to understand their process. I also request to film director to promote the cinematographer whenever any film releases to understand the process.
Cinematography always intricate me before anything in movie.Don't worry there are enough people who r in love of visuals.
I'm here for Santhosh Shivan
Subscribe before you go!
Thank you for doing this 🙏🙏
Any for Music Directors Like Ajay Atul, Rahman, Vishal Shekar, SEL, Amit Trivedi, Salim Sulaiman, Neha Khanwilkar, or reginlonal music directors just to get the esscense how they work etc...
Binod Pradhan - Rang de Basanti & Devdas, the Devdas, no need to say more. Bring him please.
Denis and Deakins worked together on Prisoners too. :)

Rajiv Ravi, K U Mohanan, Sanu Varghese, Nirav Sha, Ravi varman
Santhosh sivan 🔥💯
SANTHOSH SHIVAN SIR💜💜💜
Santhosh sivan😍❤️
Santhosh sivan and Ravi Varma are my favourites.
Wish Kk Senthil Kumar of Bahubali series is included in this fantastic group. Maybe next time
Pankaj Kumar one of best cinematographer in india
Great, please also take the interview for sound team
Santhosh sivan😍
It's one of the best ADDA ever. Thank you Anupama Mam. I wish the legend Mr.Ashoke Mehta was there too but 😔. Ravi Verma and Binod Pradhan in the next ADDA mam please.
Mam how difficult shoting action movies are should have been asked, DOP of URI, Baby were there.
Infact Govind Nihalani too.
And Avik Mukherjee
Is it just me or does Sudeep look like he's about to tell everyone that he's planted bombs all across the city.
Thanks for the laugh
Core lighting for a cinematographer.
Anupama: In Anil Mehta's list of popular films, your editor didn't mention a single Yash Chopra film. How fair is that?
Just a suggestion if the intro can be longer by showing the individual faces and their work first, had to pause every second to look for their movies underneath.
Film vs Digital mirrors Theatre vs OTT :)
Santhosh Sivan 🔥
Awesome!!!
Was nice hope there'll be more vedios like this
