I love both directors. I might not think digital cameras are the death of the cinema. However, Quentin Tarantino wins this every single time in my heart. A heart of romanticized cinema. A cinephile not willing to yield.

I deeply love Denis's films

tarantino is right unfortunately , but most of you are unable to grasp. The best movies ever made were before digital, and the last good movies came out in the late 90s early 2000s (the matrix, spiderman, lord of the rings, the dark knight, gladiator, pirates of the carribean, fight club etc.), which are all shot on film. If you'd put the best digital movies and the amount of good digital movies in comparison to the best film movies and the amount of good film movies, there would be no fkng contest. And look at the last 10 years, hollywood has been a fkn joke. You guys just agree with digital because you don't want to go back to the difficulties that film brings with it, and the work you have to put in to master this craft. The same with music, there is no modern artist or record out there (last 20 years) that could stand a chance against the artists and records from the 50s, 60s till the 2000s. The same with video games and consoles, and i could go on with so much more sht, all that glitters is not gold, our technology is more illusion than reality. Face it, the golden age of entertainment has died long ago, and now we see the result of it.

Deakins is an old woman.

Deakins just makes excuses and none of the wankers interviewing him push back.

Ummm… this is a really dumb argument. I’ve been a photographer for nearly 30 years and what I’ve learned is that people that bitch about their tools don’t actually have anything interesting to say with their work and need an excuse. Nobody cares if you shoot on film or digital-only that you GET IT RIGHT!! Saying that a movie like Blade Runner 2049 “doesn’t look good enough because it was shot digitally” is f*cking RIDICULOUS.

One of my favorite movies. I never thought about the popcorn on the floor as constellations. Amazing symbolism !!

"it's not about the technology" and then he goes "doesn't matter if it's alexa, or red..." xD watch me shooting a sony for the price of 1/10 of a viewfinders for those cameras

I don’t like the, “that’s the way the world’s going.” As if some group of jerks got together and just decided that “ooops too bad, someone somewhere decided this is what we’re doing now”. Fuck off I decide.

A film Director and a DP Of course have different opinions. The objectives and needs are not the same.

I love the arri alexa but its called FILM for a reason

I really loved Tony Scott. He directed some amazing films, like true romance, crimson Tide. Ridley has had some good films to like gladiator, Blackhawk down, alien. But I think with films like Prometheus and covenant, they felt like cash ins.

Quentin is a childish purist, stuck in the past times. His movies are overrated and attitude poisonous towards other people. His next movie will be his last, and it'll be worse than Pulp Fiction, which was a naive exploitation film made to please teenage boys.

Roger Deakins 👏👏👏

what an inspring story! great talent remains hidden in many individuals; thankfully, Hoyte is recognized now.

The contrast was striking! However, I must admit that after the initial "arguments," I found myself fast forwarding through Tarantino's sections.

Tarantino saying he won’t watch a movie that’s projected digitally is ridiculous. I don’t even have a theatre near me that projects with film, but I’m not gonna let that stop me from going to the movies. It’s crazy to care about the tool more than the final product. film vs digital in the modern era isn’t even an argument. It all comes down to the cinematography and directing.

Was already thinking about how nervous I would be setting up lights to interview Deakins 😂

The one person who hates David Fincher is the boom mic operator.

funny enough, Deakins makes shooting on film much more appealing than Tarantino makes it out to be.

This is too good to listen to just once. RP is quickly becoming one of the all time greats!!!

so Deakins is just being lazy when he say he don't want to shoot with films?

I agree with both. Of course Quentin is coming from the old school angle of "cinema" and the art behind the craft. Roger is coming from a logistical and practical angle. I will never shoot on film. Too expensive and digital is too convenient. But then with AI being introduced, then the conversation goes to, oh you had AI create that aerial shot because its more convenient. I can see both sides.

One of the finest directors alive and in fact in the top 5 absolutely without doubt…..keep going Dave…a master at his work.

Never heard of Roger Deakins, but I have heard of QT. Just my 2c.

Hoyte is Oscar winner now

They are both right. Each filmmaker has a vision and whether the tools and the medium are parts of that vision is up to the filmmaker. For Tarantino cinema is an experience, it's not just what's inside the frame, it's what's outside too. It's not just how he shoots it's how you watch and that is part of his artistic vision.

Congratulations on the Oscar!! Very, very well-deserved!

film looks like ass compared to modern digital

This guy is a fucking genius.

Don't get your hopes up ,if Ridley Scott is involved he is going to make it woke and really shitty ! Just look at EVERYTHING else he has made, he made a good first film and has been milking it ever since. At this point I would not trust him to be able to sit the right way on a toilet seat!!!

Quentin is saying what he thinks his audience wants to hear.

This is fantastic, and a lot easier to access than the book. I went looking on Amazon and ABE and the cheapest one was over $400! Good grief.

❤❤❤❤❤

I respect and like any word you say master Vittorio 😊🎥😎

1. Be patient and proactive when opportunities arise. 2. Embrace things outside of your control. 3. Form your own career path. 4. Don't be afraid to start before you are ready. 5. Be flexible and focus on building relationships with directors.

I learned on film, but hereis the thing now - It is almost impossible to get to do a movie in film now - HELL even affording to make a film on film! Most of us are not wealthy to make movies now! Doing it on celluloid is amazing and a craft/artform! I wish you could shoot a film on FILM but getting it is harder and harder and not only that more expensive then most new film makers can afford! Tarantino is @7:21 is talking about this! This is the Good of digital!

Extremely insight. Thank you.

His second movie was written, directed and produced by my previous teacher/mentor.

It's like watching a giant TV in a room with a bunch of strangers. I miss the flicker effect of real film and the sound of the projector clicking. It's magic. Digital is like a cold cheeseburger and film is like a filet mignon.

I'm no expert on this, but after doing some research I think film is better, but digital movies should be transferred to a film print for preservation because data can be corrupted while film, properly taken care of, can be preserved.

Amazing advice. Thank you Brad.

I can totally relate with sitting on that couch. What I'd like to understand is how he got his first gig while doing that.

Deakins is a genius Tarrentino used to be one.

Here i am two years later and film has become more popular tjan in the last twenty years give or take. Kodak reintroducing new film ilford produces more and more. New equipment. People opening film labs.

I think blu rays of films from the past really show how good film can look when it’s upscaled. I understand why Roger Deakins would find digital a lot more convenient. Anyone would, but digital is the same medium used for television programmes. The uniqueness and authetic look of film is lost in his movies.

Yes. Make sure very expensive film cameras and the cost of negative and processing and workprint all add up so we don’t have any more cheap entry to filmmaking. Keep the riff raff out. The last thing we need in film is any sort of democracy or freedom. $$$$$

Tarantino's one of the few people who can consistently go to premieres or special showings and see an absolutely spotless film print being projected in 100% ideal conditions, like *maybe* in that case it'd be better but I'd imagine 90% of the time if you just had a 4K copy of a movie shot on film being shown it'd look better. Just anecdotally I saw Licorice Pizza once projected in 35mm and once digitally and the latter looked noticeably better

I love the look of film but digital is ideal to work with.
