Q: have you ever made a short film / video in general using nothing but an iphone (or a phone in general)? what gear/software would a team need to have to get some decent looking sequences with a phone and on a budget?

[@ajiths7406]

Even though I am a fan of Roger Deakins and I wished him to be in Dune, now, After watching this I think Dune will be a masterpiece

[@InDepthCine]

Deakins and Villeneuve's creative partnership has been amazing. Will be interested to see if Greig Fraser builds on that look or if they do something visually different on Dune.

[@ajiths7406]

@@InDepthCine I think Dune will be visually a bit different than the standardized look that Deakins set it up for Villeneuve movies. This was the first thought that came into my mind after watching this video. Because Deakins and Fraser follow two entirely different approach on lighting as you have pointed out in this video and that of Deakins video. I feel like in Dune, we would miss that layers of lights and Shadows that Deakins set up for his movies.

[@Aventsdor]

@@jaegerschtulmann What I'm really worried about dune is how accessible it looks. After the flop which was 2049 studios are going to force Villeneuve to make his film more accessible and probably will have alot of studio interference. Maybe this non thought out color palette and more block buster gray tone is reflective of that

[@idawg7332]

I’m no expert but from the trailer dune’s cinematography looks closer to Bratford Young’s work on arrival than what Deakins has done with Villanueve

[@rickardkaufman3988]

@@InDepthCine Deakins was busy doing 1917. Maybe explains why Grieg was picked. So far he has my confidence since he recently won an Emmy for his work on The Mandalorian. So he has the chops necessary to tackle space operas.

Love how detailed you are with the cinematography, through the lights, lenses, framing etc. While others just simply go through framing and only it. keep up the great content

[@InDepthCine]

Cinematography is all about combining nuances (of lenses, lighting, movement, production design, etc.) to create images. So I think it's important that these details get focused on. Thanks!

After seeing him involved in the soon to be released ‘Dune’, aswell as ‘The Batman’ (2022), I’ve grown an interest to his work; Come to find out he was the cinematographer for a few episodes for ‘The Mandalorian’, such as the first episode which holds so much importance and has the memorable ending shot with Grogu and Din Djarin meeting each other for the first time. Man there’s so many movies great movies he’s been apart of, and that’s no coincidence. Thanks for this informational and enjoyable video, exactly what I was searching for.

[@tommie3700]

Greig Fraser actually started his career at a production company called Exit Films, which was founded by Garth Davis. After he moved on from Exit, Adam Arkapaw soon joined in his stead, and you can see that the two have a very similar visual style. Greig is always pushing the boundaries of filmmaking - according to one AC who worked with him on Lion, Grieg was one of the first to use LED screen technology, like that in Mando; one of the first to use Wi-Fi lights; and set the standard for a new way of lighting and colouring - his slightly desaturated, high-contrast look has become quite popular, and you can see the visual similarities between The Batman and Arkapaw's The King. He totally deserves the Oscar and it's super encouraging to hear that an Australian from country Victoria can climb the ladder, too. In terms of look, Greig also regularly shoots with Panavision - he's a big fan of their anamorphic lenses. Dune, for example, was shot with Ultra Panatars.

" I didn't notice the cinematography in that film." if that's the greatest compliment. unfortunately.. the cinematography in this new Batman movie is so obvious...I literally wondered if the DP shot tons of commercial before shot the batman. cause I myself shot commercials for living in Shanghai. we used a lot of similar techiniques which I thought it wasn't a good thing for storytelling. but imagewise it looked great. it was beautiful.

[@TChristopher]

Thank you for the analysis! It’s been a while since I had a chance to watch one but as always, it’s brilliant! I was surprised at how many of his films I’ve seen before. I think you summed up perfectly by including his goal for his work. There’s something inviting about his cinematography, as if you feel that no matter what happens on screen, you’re seeing the most cinematic version of it. I got that sense from watching Rogue One in the cinema, as I immediately thought that this is the best that Star Wars has looked since A New Hope. Understated and dark, yet somehow hopeful with its soft lighting. I’m looking forward to seeing his filmography! Thank you!

I liked the note on digital being so sharp that artificial objects appear very artificial, and the example from Rogue One was a perfect illustration. I wonder whether Fraser's process in Dune -- shooting digital but then putting it on film -- was to avoid some of the artificiality. I'd be interested to know what you think.

[@davidlean1060]

I'm not crazy about the way Foxcatcher looks, but perhaps it's the bland eeriness of the film itself I am being confused by. Rogue One however, is my favorite from all the recent Star Wars spin offs because it so closely resembles the look and feel of the originals. Love Killing Them Softly too. Hugely underrated that movie, though I presume Greig didn't approach Andrew Dominik at the end of the shoot and said, '...now f**kin pay me!'
