    The greatest cameraman who ever lived. What he did in Citizen Kane was a miracle.

    Thank you so much for this video! Very insightful, comprehensive and inspiring. For some reason I love long (duration) wide angle shots, a moving (dolly, tracking, crane , etc.) camera that tells a "story within a story" through revealing details and motion parallax (providing a lot of depth) and deep focus (not always of course). It requires a lot of planning to avoid a cluttered look or drawing the attention to distracting objects.
    I deeply admire the old masters who had to work with hot lights and film stock slower than 50 ASA/ISO. Thanks again: your knowledge and willingness to share it has taught me so much -and continues to do so. Thanks for yet another video that is pure gold!

    I can't believe I just watched the whole video. I only planned on checking out the first 5mins or so hahah. Great video! I had no idea he was the cinematographer on Citizen Kane. Now I have to go see his other movies.

    Really nice analysis.
    Do try check out Sergei Urusevsky. He is one of the innovators of the semi-steadicam movement like Soy Cuba. His best works is known in The Cranes are Flying and Letters Never Sent with the use of complicated superimpositions and intersting camera work. . Really hard to find his films though

      Agreed, can't recommend this guy enough and thankfully both of those films are on RUclips!

    The low asa/sensitivity was a by product, true enough however, in the early days film stocks had a large percentage of silver which in effect compensated for the lower asa ratings. Also, there were prints made on highly flammable 'silver nitrate'. I was privileged to see one of these print of Well's "Third Man" in a private screening at the home of the then head of the UCLA Film Restoration/Archive Department. It was ini indescribable experience something unforgettable seeing the shear brilliance and luminosity leap off the screen. Truly amazing.

    • @checkeredflagfilms

      I should clarify the film was directed by the talented Carol Reed. Orson played the sinister/mysterious Harry Lime.

    Great video as always. I would actually really like to see videos on more classical cinematographers. To me, they are the most interesting and elusive. Some of my favorites you might want to make a video on are Charles Lang, Merrit B. Gerstad, Boris Kaufman, Eugen Schufftan, and Karl Freund.

    I love Gregg Toland; however, I'm disappointed you haven't done a video for Boris Kaufman yet. You should definitely make a video for Boris Kaufman as well as Peter Deming, Steven Soderbergh, Mihai Malaimare Jr., and Thierry Arbogast.

    Love the video, but the shots you include of Les Miserables are not from the 1935 version that Toland filmed. That one starred Frederick March and Charles Laughton. The shots used in this video are from a later remake. Also...the other film he shot that year was titled Public Hero No. 1 rather than Public Enemy. Like I said though, love the video otherwise.
