HI Everyone. Thanks for all of the kind words. I do want to point out that I actually did do ALL the cinematography on my film THE BETRAYAL/NERAKHOON (2008). The cinematographer that I had initially worked with only shot for 4 days at the very beginning of the project. I never used any of the footage. But that first shoot day was the moment when I realized that I wanted more from the shots - I needed to try to find the visual metaphors I was imagining to tell the story. So decided to shoot the film myself, hence my entry into the world of cinematography. Thanks ! ~E
It really is people like her who push against tradition that inspire me, and help me think the choices I wanna make are ok. There’s a lot of elitism I find in modern filmmaking (usually by people who’ve only worked on a couple of commercials or a single music video) who think they’re hot shit and rag on anyone who won’t play by the rules like they did, and it’s really discouraging and just plain petty. I just wanna get good work out there any way I can, regardless of whatever supposed barriers there are to do it.
Imagine spending days setting up a shot that looks good, lit beautifully and has no continuity errors only to realize that it doesn't fit with the story and it just look like a good shot!
I just want to thank you for this channel because I have learnt so much and was inspired enough to direct a short film of my own with some friends. Really owe so much to you!
Amazing as always! As a movie industry layman, I love this series for properly introducing me to the cinematographers behind the look of so many movies I love, when before I might have only known of the director. Can't wait to see who you cover next!
It would be nice if the video on the cinematography style of Ellen Kuras actually talked about and analyzed the cinematography style of Ellen Kuras. This is like a wiki video bio with someone saying things about Ellen Kuras without actually showing them. Show don't tell. You would think a channel on cinematography would nail that one point.
I would like a review about de argentinean cinematographer Felix Monti, he has made the two ARGENTINEAN ACADEMY AWARD WINNING FILMS one in 1984 an the other in 2009. I think it would be interesting, because he has a very particular asthetic. Thanks
I wish you would put the name of the film in the bottom corner of each clip that you show on screen so if we see something that looks interesting we can go off on our own tangents researching the shot
Even if there are cinematographers that I think are generally better, like Gordon Willis or Vittorio Storaro, I would sell my soul to light like Ellen Kuras. (Or Lance Accord, who has a very similar style IMO.)
Hi In Depth Cine, I was wondering how is the legal background for creating videos like this on RUclips? Do you have permission from the rightsholders of the movies you show scenes out of?Are you only using scenes that have been offered to the public for review/journalistic purposes? How about all the photographs you are implementing in your videos? Does it all count under "Fair Use"? Big big fan of yours, keep inspiring!
I find it slightly disturbing that a cinematographer would get involved in the artistic process by providing the shot's point of view. I think that should be entirely the director's prerogative, unless he or she ask for the input of the cinematographer. The cinematographer should focus on the technicality of the shot and not interfere with the communication of the message as far as decision-making is concerned. In practice, many details will interfere with how the film is understood, including how it was shot.

thank you so much for the work you’ve done! absolutely genius and inspirational, would be an honour if i could have a conversation with you one day!
Shining the light on female cinematographers less known by general audience is really cool!
And love the lesson form your videos take.
Agree!! Love this channel for doing that 🤍

nailed it.
Amen

This video is awesome, this series continues to be so informative. I would love to see an episode on Robby Müller
Great content. Ellen Kuras is a consistent, proven cinematographer.
I haven't clicked on any video this quick, I love this series of yours, especially the one you did on Sayombhu Mukdeeprom ❤
I just want to thank you for this channel because I have learnt so much and was inspired enough to direct a short film of my own with some friends. Really owe so much to you!
Probably my favorite cinematographer. Thanks for this look into her style!
Speaking of, would love one on Sven Nykvist
This is awesome and I love her style and the opportunity to "shoot how she feels" because her style is so trusted. Awesome gurl! I'm a big fan.
Wonderful series!
I never comment on RUclips but this calls for it. Thank you for featuring women cinematographers :) They deserve the spotlight.
LOVE her work. Great video!
Always loved the cinematography of eternal sunshine. Now I know why!
Your videos are always brilliant. The editing is superb 👍
Amazing as always! As a movie industry layman, I love this series for properly introducing me to the cinematographers behind the look of so many movies I love, when before I might have only known of the director. Can't wait to see who you cover next!
please do one on Rachel Morrison!!!!!
The best series in youtube, thank you so much !
Please do a Conrad L Hall episode, much needed brother 🙏
Today I got to know another cinematography. Thanks
Please do an analysis on Mihai Malaimare

I love her work on Rebecca MIller's Angela.
It's "Jar-mush" as Jim pronounces it. Just an FYI.
A joy to watch.
Nice
Can you talk about Bill Pope next?
Would be so cool if there were meet ups in SA to chat about film ❤️
SHE'S DONE MORE THAN ONE CREW MEMBER TOO !

Thanks
your videos are great
An episode on Mikhail Krichman would be great!
Can you do a video of cimatographer Robert Richardson style
I did one but unfortunately it got removed due to copyright.
I wish you would put the name of the film in the bottom corner of each clip that you show on screen so if we see something that looks interesting we can go off on our own tangents researching the shot
Ellen kuras is a fucking amazing DOP also she is a super nice person
Who is creating and composing the visual metaphors in films........ a cinematographer or a film director 🤔
you the GOAT
Even if there are cinematographers that I think are generally better, like Gordon Willis or Vittorio Storaro, I would sell my soul to light like Ellen Kuras. (Or Lance Accord, who has a very similar style IMO.)
Anyone know what she shot with the Sony Venice and A7S2? I’d love to check that out
Never heard of this cinematographer

can we feature an Indian cinematographer, eg-santosh sivan
Please?
Dude you should voice over BBC planet work , give Sir David some rest finally 😂
Her first camera was an arri 😂
Where are the shots from Blow? That's sacrilege.
Though I haven’t seen the movie in a long time, I’m pretty sure the shot at 8:44 is from Blow
@@emilianoo.1596 You're Right. But, I'm surprised more footage wasn't used.
Ellen did a fantastic job on that film.

PISSED OFF ANY FIRST TIME 911 RESPONDERS LATELY, ELLES ?
