Cinematography Advice From Industry Pros

[@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia]

Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Space Jam... the holy trinity of filmmaking.

[@YannickFilms]

Oh my god, you guys are so close to 1 million subscribers! Honestly there's no channel I can think of that deserves this more than Film Riot! I've been following the show for so long now and seeing you grow over the past years has been amazing. I hope you will make the one million within this year! Keep up the great work that makes me laugh and teaches me something awesome everytime! Greetings from your biggest German fan!

[@DanielRodriguez-gm1ih]

You guys always do great ads.

Collab FR/CD "Just Light Dat" DP challenge would be nice! #puppyeyes

[@u9d78dkls]

so much diversity in the film industry, so inspiring.

[@TigbemilekeOjo]

hmmhannah it is really sad. But I hope you aren't discouraged. You can create the diversity you want to see.

[@u9d78dkls]

Tigbemileke Ojo thank you for your comment! No I am not discouraged 😊

[@superike3314]

+hmmhannah I see what you mean but your comment kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Yes it is true that the film industry is dominantly male however I don't see how you can knock Ryan for sharing this amazing content with us. Having followed Filmriot for the past few years I don't think Ryan is biased against women by the slightest. He saw a chance to get some amazing DPs on the show and used them. I understand that not having a role model might like you alluded to be uninspiring/demotivating but there are definitely some amazing female DPs out there. Like for example my favorite DP at the moment is Rina Yang (you should really look her up so much dope content.) Anyway, I could see you have an active channel as well, why not look up female DPs and create your own content on the subject. Think that might be more uplifting and productive than leaving passive- aggresive comments.

[@u9d78dkls]

I appreciate your comment Superlke, I too have watched Film Riot for many years and I am well aware of many, many talented female filmmakers. This title implied that there was advice coming from the industry pros and it was disturbing that they were made up of only white men. I highly doubt you will understand this point of view and it may not seem productive from your point of view to point out the lack of diveristy shown in this video, but I feel it is.

[@TheDx917]

I'm sorry, but the fact of the matter is that there are more male professional cinematographers than female ones. Of course there are great women in the industry, but just like its cousin "photography", cinematography seems to be preferred by men when you get to industry level work. I've been a pro-hobbyist photographer for almost 10 years now, and I've worked in many cities around the world, yet only a fraction of the pro photographers I meet are actually women. There are many women who enjoy doing it as a hobby and many women who join courses and study it, but very few actually move on to the next step and do it as a full time job compared to men. My hypothesis is that photography (and cinematography) is quite a technical job, and men are generally more interested in technical work than women are (biologically speaking), but there are of course individual exceptions to that.

[@YannickFilms]

You made it! Congratulation for 1 Million Subscribers! You guys deserve it! Keep being awesome!

[@SAndSPictures]

That domain.com ad was one of the best you've ever done!! (This is coming from someone who's seen EVERY SINGLE Film Riot episode.)

[@filmriot]

+S&S Pictures Thanks man!

[@SilasWilloughby]

S&S Pictures Yeah, in glad they started doing more interesting ones again! I've also seen all there episodes

[@dancingshaboobs]

agreed! amazing

[@pupupuia]

Congratulations on 1 Million Subscribers! You worked so hard and for such a long time for this. You really deserve it. I love your channel!

[@BlackStapleFace]

I've been watching this channel for 5 years now and I've never commented before now. You guys are hero's, thank you so much for your content

[@jayrwinleblanc2823]

congrats guys, I found you 5 years ago have been subscribed since. I don't get to film all that much anymore since my filming friends moved away, but I really appreciate all that you have taught us. Without you guys I never would've filmed anything.

[@HarkMeinrich]

6:10 Wow that was an inpiring answer! love it

[@strangecowfilms]

Worked in locations on the new Trainspotting film this summer and can honestly say that watching Anthony Dod Mantle DP was one of the best experiences ever. It's so clear that he's not just a 'camera person' and he's deeply involved in the entire filmmaking process. Plus he's also insanely friendly and goes about taking pictures of everyone with his Leica most of the time.

[@ryanjosephdp]

Oh my god that ad sketch!!! I'm crying. Easily one of your best, Ryan and company! Your sister is getting better at acting too!

[@radumester]

used to watch you guys a lot a few years ago, so glad I'm seeing you are almost at 1 mil subscribers ! congrats guys!

[@96jnb]

I worked on my first movie this past summer. It's called "Columbus" featuring John Cho and Parker Posey. What an experience that was. I was definitely the youngest crew member. Lol The days were long and the nights were even longer but I loved it.

[@WeAreOneTv69]

96jnb how'd you get in? I want to hear your story!

[@96jnb]

WeAreOneTv I live in the city it was filmed in. However I didn't know anything about it because they kept it pretty low-key. About a month before they were set to start filming a buddy and I shot a quick video with just a bunch of beauty shots around the city. We were hoping to get a few thousand fews on Facebook but wound up getting over 50k. The Director of Marketing for the city saw it and asked if we'd be interested in working on a movie. Like I said I didn't know anything about it but obviously said yes. She gave me an assistant's number for one of the production's companies and that's how I got in. It was pretty crazy. haha

[@GabrielFowler]

But what?

[@96jnb]

Film Wire ?

[@GabrielFowler]

***** Your comment cut off after "but", but it's all there now! That's pretty awesome

[@redalertpictures]

Loved to hear so many different voices from the industry. A video on finding work in the industry from the pros would be another great video, if you guys were looking for another video idea

[@lukelowder9649]

I remember when I shook hands with Michael Chapman after a Q&A his wife held at my school, UNCSA. He used to be a professor there and every now and then he will come back around. I told him how much I respected him and he simply said ahh and shook my hand, such a humble guy he seemed tired of hearing compliments haha.

[@godeepmudmedia]

It's interesting to see the differences in opinion based on their personal experiences. It goes to show that you have to pick and choose the advice you decide to take.

[@MachineMirth]

It amazes me that of all things technical... Managing people and coping with egos / politics seems to be a common theme no matter which profession you choose.

[@JohnSmith-pq4jd]

That commercial was incredible :D I love the lighting and how different it looked from everything else you guys have done!

[@BloodNBacon]

Two thousand away... I'm so happy for you guys. I've been here since 200,000 but that really doesn't matter that much.

[@matthewdebono862]

This episode's ad is so good, I can't put it into words! :D

[@Jackhoppy]

The guy at 4:40 says to take any opportunity you can get and the guy right after him advises the exact opposite.

[@NicoSchrenk]

awesome stuff! great answers here!

[@CollinJoseph]

hey can you guys do a The Flash CW super speed effect with the lightning and everything

[@ashu21]

Quick (and unrelated) question, Ryan how old were you when you decided you wanted to make films for a living?

[@dharmani_youtube]

THANK YOU!

[@ChakainHD]

That domain.com ad was hilarious

[@danielwilliams3977]

[@danielanger5360]

This is awesome! Thank Mr. Ryan! You guys are by far my favorite KZbin channel! Are you guys doing a 1000000000 subs video, and could you do a draw my life video, that'd be awesome! Thanks guys!

[@DpthoBlogspot]

so great! Thank you!

[@leocaptured]

Ok I don't know what to believe now. Taking every job that comes along or just the ones that fit our "path"? I always thought, that especially in the beginning, it's important to acquire a large variety of skills and that would somehow form your path then...

[@leocaptured]

Because if we haven't tried out everything we might miss what we really enjoy doing

[@leocaptured]

That's a deep question bro.

[@vel782]

Awesome video as always, BTW how do you like Poland ?

[@CGImagine]

Thanks!

[@brenzillaman]

youre so close to 1 million subs!

[@mitchellneth]

Where'd your last video go?

[@deto8774]

[@TheDylanHoang]
