what is this?
I think Vicky Krieps is extremely underrated. She was amazing in this film as Alma... I wish she had gotten an Oscar nom.. more recognition
Agreed heavily. Meryl is great in The Post but she definitely should have been replaced by Krieps.
Both of these ladies turned in performances of the very highest level, even exceeding that of Daniel IMO, who was his usual stellar self. With Olivia Colman, these lovely performers make up my current trio of favorite actors.
That's messed-up: Vicky should have been nominated. What in the name of God?
@@ChilliCheezdog It's all about the hustle and the campaigning to get Oscar nominations. It's not a purely meritocratic system. It is infinitely harder for an outsider like VK to get in on performance alone.
Alan McKenna Spot on! That’s why David Lynch campaigning for hours on a street corner, for Laura Dern’s performance in Inland Empire, always puts a smile on my face.
It makes me so sad that Vicky Krieps did not get a single mainstream award nomination for this film. She made this film for me.
she didnt make if for you she made it for everyone
funny miscommunication but he meant she was what “made it” as in enjoyable and i agree! her dominance in the second half is a sight
so sad? really? how about famine?
5:37 "Daniel learned to sew and drape ... for about a year in preparation for the film" classic DDL
Rumor is that he's currently spending ten years learning to play a man who retires as an actor only to come out of retirement after ten years. The role requires extensive research.
If you´re going to retire after that, what´s the point?
@@alexmorrison9156 ... I think you may have missed the joke
Funny thing is we barely see that on the film...
@@joellahrman4557 LMFAO best comment
Dedication to the art of details. So impressive. One of the master film makers of our time.
Need to catch on the rest of his filmography. But There Will Be Blood, The Master and Phantom Thread are absolute masterpieces.
this is better than lighting breakdowns
cuz you're hearing from the person who made it
“Good. I’d hate to have done that to your 2nd favorite one. Waste of tea”
Brilliant.
"And that lamp doesn't seem to be working." I don't know why, but I found that hilarious.
Normal people: Her face is bright.
Paul Thomas Anderson: Her face is a stop and a half higher than everyone.
@@benisrood calm down
This is extremely inspiring. Exactly what I need.
to do what, choose your own film stock and drapes?
This should be a feature film and I would be happy to watch it until the end!
it is! it’s called phantom thread!
Wish granted (:
I think he's talking about the making of Phantom thread
@@lesryglrhfohser
I was referring to a Making Of with more than 80 minutes ..🤪
@@pt9632 Thanks "PT" Anderson!
the music in the background is absolutely stunning
7:14 It's great to see DDL crack up like this. The way people talk about him, you'd think he'd make a film set the most terrifying place to be on Earth.
Phantom Thread has one of the best production designs. It's incredibly pleasing to look at.
best working director of the last two decades
This was a great movie. Timeless style, great acting, and a look so classy that most never get to attain it.
6:22 This scene should have made it to final print. Rare form for both of these actors.
Agree! They really made such a childish scene become art ❤
PTA’s commentary on Lesley’s beauty is top notch 😭 “you’d have to be pretty foolish to not light her well”
The lighting on her face at 1:35 is superb.
The soundtrack is just... I have no words to make a commentary
This video is delicate yet so influential. I adore these artists and watching them work. Thank you!
This is now my favourite video on youtube...
It was quite a surprise how funny this movie was. Especially, The breakfast scene!
Cinematography is so-well done and it is so great to listen to the commentary. Thank you for the video!
PTA delivered this brilliant piece of work with no official cinematographer... a true master
An absolute masterpiece.
my favourite film of all time, so underrated
_there will be blood_
So criminally underrated
Funny you say that, your profile is from The Lighthouse and that along with this one, The Phantom Thread, are currently my favourite films from the 2010's.
3:22 when you stand n for a gas station...
Scene was filmed in Lythe a small village and large civil parish, in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England, situated near Whitby within the North York Moors National Park.
Mockup gas station at a little Metal Works factory riding Eastbound leaving the village towards Sandsend at the coast. Great purple Bristol 405 made by the British Aeroplane Company
Thank you so much for this. The camera tests are still up but the all the versions that had PTA's commentary were reuploaded without it. Love channel and keep up the great work.
Thank you, whomever you are.
Super interesting. So many clever people associated with this movie.
Why do I love these even more than the movie ?! When it fades , or is out of focus I even like it more
A face a stop and a half brighter than anyone else's... art school pickup line number one!! haha
this is such an inspiring set of tests - thankyou so much for uploading
What a gem of a find. Thank you!!
One might think that to publish something like this would undo the film and show too keenly the process behind that which we are never meant to witness. However the opposite is the case. I love the way Anderson says something like " this is the Jena", as if the lens were another character in the film. If I had not already seen the film I would want to do as soon as possible.
PTA’s calm voiceover is everything!
I just realized that in order to be a great film maker, one must oversee the littlest and the most intricate details. They have to know how to perfect a shot from every single thing. And so in the bigger picture we were amazed at how perfect a shot is w/o the ability to explain why.
I share this sentiment with you, but most people just want to se some shit blowing up.
This is the sexiest video I've ever seen
I didn't see the movie, but *THIS* video made me look it up and rent it on Amazon. 👍
Damn, this is such a fantastic video
Well crafted film. This shows that while one can be taught and learn technicals, it is good artistic TASTE which, arguably, can't be taught that makes the cinematography great.
Glamorizing terminology that has no basis in fact. Of course it can be taught. People have really got to stop saying that.
@@krane15 Agreed. A lot of "taste" can easily be derived from trends
um ok that FOOD FIGHT SCENE??? WHAT
I miss film. I miss the imperfections.
Digital looks good in the right hands, but it doesnt have any character.
Oh my I've become one of those analoge people...
While I agree that generally film is better. Portrait of a Lady on Fire was shot digitally and that movie is beautiful and full of character.
I totally agree, in the right hands film vs digital really isn't a debate at all. Deakins' digital stuff, to me, looks identical to his film stuff. Same can be said about Lubezski. But not others. To me, digital has a dullness and a flatness to it sometimes. This really shows on recent a film like Peanut Butter Falcon. It should look better but it doesn't. It's just doesn't have any depth. A lot of that could be the lenses though.
. . . and that's why you have so many people working relentlessly to create the look of film with digital technology. It's analogous to how, with all the technology at their disposal, you have people trying to figure out how Jimi Hendrix, Ansel Adams, and Rembrandt accomplished what they did. A person becomes a better Artist once they've mastered their craft. It never hurts to study how other people mastered theirs.
@@TheStockwell well said
It is impossible to film analog anyway, even if you use actual film most editors have moved to digital, so what they do is turn film into digital and back to film again. It's a redundant task which makes for digital the better option.
Absolutely stellar and Informative breakdown.
better than film school
This is a great little piece.
I cried with the food scenes.
this channel is a gem
The sets...every detail makes me hungry.
This is amazing. Ugh, essentially beautiful.
I know this is somewhat an old video but at 2:32 he talks about desaturating the image a lot with his choice of stock and filtration (i.e. opting for the less vibrant tungsten balanced stock over the more colorful daylight stock, as well as the LC 1 filter) but my understanding is that pushing the film a stop would increase contrast and saturation; the way he says it implies that by underexposing/pushing the stock they would further desaturate the image.
I'm probably reading too much into it but that bit confused me and was wondering if anyone could confirm/clarify.
I think he misspoke honestly and/or isn’t sure what he’s talking about. Like isn’t higher speed films have more dyes in it making it even more saturated? Maybe the push for color tones (due to tungsten balanced stock) took a lot out of the skin tones and then they would just time it accordingly. But if you notice some of the scenes in the film where it’s fairly underexposed, the shadows lean super cool/blue
BEAUTIFUL!
That was thoroughly enjoyable
I feel that my soul belongs to this time..
Daniel is the best!
The same way people go to a gallery to critique, analyse and appreciate a painting; that’s what I do when it comes to cinema/cinematography.
Me too! I could watch these clips for hours.
That’s me too buddy. I have been pleasantly obsessed with Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson as of late. I watch, I critic, I sip my wine and mosey about
@Reel Moments Media I've only seen DDL on films by two directors: Martin Scorsese (The Age of Innocence, Ganga of New York) and PT Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread).
I got to see the shit out of My Left Foot, but those four performances are enough to make me call DDL the greatest film actor that ever lived.
This is fantastic, thank you.
love this.
Now this is some good ASMR
Super interesting to watch the lengths they went to in order to get everything just right. It paid off with a masterfully crafted film. Thanks for posting! Do you have any more of these @Cinematographers on cinematography? Also 07:31 lol
Nicolas Waldvogel The PT lighting team actually just released a two-hour long technical breakdown of the entire movie a few weeks ago. Definitely worth checking out!
@@JeremyHinen Could I ask for the link? thks a lot!
@@JeremyHinen oh really yes where can we find it??
@@tinocionni84 Thank you!
This is so soothing.
Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing, need more of those 🙌
Thank you for this wonderful video ! I instantly subscribed.
I bought the lc1 after watching this video, but it was hard to get the beauty.
Where's this from? Does the DVD have a full audio commentary track?
pause on 8:36 for happiness
what microphone was used to record his commentary?
This is very dear to me, sincere my dear...
So exciting
more of this pls
If you read Deleuze's "Anti-Oedipus", Could enjoy the film deeply. In the film, he suffer from Paranoia and she give him the present(schizophrenia).
Its more about Munchausen syndrome
This is a great video. Thank you.
Beautifully shot. Didn't love the story so much particularly the ending. Kind of silly way to end such a serious and beautiful film.
Agreed
This is amazing thank you!
Pta is an absolute genius
PTA got way better since punch drunk love in terms of developing a story
punch drunk love develops and interweaves its subplots pretty darn elegantly imo
@@Mike-gd4zd that's a shame that you didn't really like it but i personally watched it for the first time recently and absolutely loved it
Punch Drunk Love is very deliberately stylistically a music-less musical. Much like a musical, plot isn't the point as much as the subtleties expressed via image, individual character movement and physical character interaction.
@@williambyrne5513 i just watched it for the first time, somewhat coincidentally, a few hours ago and was kinda surprised at how much that film was plotted. From the first 15 minutes or so I wasn’t expecting it at all. And I would have been fine with it either way. Same with Phantom Thread. Such a beautiful film.
The thing is he wasn't really trying to write a great story for that film. Magnolia had completely draimed him and his most of his crew emotionally, psysically and mentally because it was such a long, ambitious Production. So he wanted to do something a lot more simple and fun at the time. I suggest you watch his interviews on the Criterion Edition of that film.
Any suggestions on books to learn film craft?

Humm. There's a diffuse filter in the windows. Look closely at 4:44.
Do they still make film for movies? I've never seen this movie but it looks incredible. How much more does it cost to shoot movies on film?
Wait a minute... that 55mm Nikkor f1.2 is going for not even 400 bucks on Craiglist in my city :O
...how am I learning so much about cinematography from a director...?
becsuse he was also the dop in this movie
The guy is a master of the art form. If her had the time I feel like he could legit do everything him self and it would all be Oscar level.
Fascinating
Would love to grab a lunch with any of the people in this comment section. If you appreciate this video (and movie, of course), you're undoubtedly good company.
Cheers!
Imagine the day you're sitting in a huge room filled with like minded individuals, such as yourself. The conversations that would be talked about would be extraordinary; we would more than likely exit that room with a feature length film 😂 I cannot wait for that day to come
Subscribed.
great movie! makes me think should I get married or not
Can plz put the lenses name here plz?
This is an ASMR video
Did they forget the audio for the Men I Trust music video?
what? i dont get it. what's the connection?
A+++
What does he mean when saying 200 Tungsten or 500 tungsten?
the number is the speed (light sensitivity) of the film - every doubling of the number means the film is twice as sensitive to light. 500 is currently the most sensitive color one Kodak produces, but you'll hear they 'pushed' the film to 1000, meaning they overdeveloped it to make it even more sensitive. Tungsten just means that the film is white balanced for Tungsten bulbs, i.e. ones giving off orange light. That's why you'll see that the daylight windows outside are bright blue in many indoor-scenes, because that light is much bluer than tungsten.
A modern ode to the past.
reminds me of pulp's this is hardcore
Nice one!
yea that teapot was definitely not right
Ok not to undermine all the amazing info and the insight to PTA's process, but holy cow that ° sign in front of the K (Kelvin) bothers me so much!
It is really cool hearing PTA talk about this stuff, but I couldn't for the life of me understand what he meant when "certain things weren't working". It all seemed about the same
What was wrong with the teapot again?
Imagine getting paid to get into a food fight with DDL lmao
4:34 why do you think the first office looked wrong? overexposed?
It's not about the lighting etc. but the interior design of the office.
The wallpaper IMO didn’t match her personality and may have been too light / distracting / not within color code of the film. Many possibilities.
she is so pretty
