Cinematography Tips From Oscar Winning DP Robert Richardson

[@elizak.6902]

Incredibly well edited and put together!! I'm a fan of Robert Richardson and this is the honestly the best video that I have ever seen about him. Thank you!

[@AlterCineYT]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Robert Richardson is the kind of filmmaker I aspire to be. Dedicated and honest, yet willing to work with and be inspired by others for the sake of storytelling.

[@drsus0]

“When you breathe love into those that works with you”... this is a particularly funny thing for him to say , lol!

[@hschenck3394]

A true master of his craft!

[@DrewWillson]

I've seen too few of these movies. Robert Richardson is really one of the greats!

[@AlterCineYT]

They are definitely worth watching, not just for the cinematography but also the directors he worked with are all legends

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

He’s like Roger Deakins, my favorite DOP before I even knew his name.

[@wesrm1]

Let me recommend JFK and Nixon right away if you haven’t yet. The 2 are sort of companion films.

[@miguelrivera9599]

The best DP in Hollywood

[@tone_bone]

I meet Robert over 9 years ago and the thing he told me that I can never forget was "always use an eyepiece"

[@Kurosawa3]

Being of fan of Stone films, I learned the skill of this guy early on.

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

Stone is dope I love W. and Platoon

[@NIKONGUY1960]

‘Lance it.’ Visions of Rocky Balboa dance in my head at that. Great vid.

[@martindeleon9863]

I’ve been working as a cinematographer for 14 years and never use an eye piece. I have my own external monitor I use to capture how I and the director want it to be shown on screen. For me the eyepiece has been a hindrance more so than a help. To each their own though.

He is definitely one of the GREATEST 👍🏻 best cinematic greetings from germany

[@asdf-channel3800]

Great Pitch and great advertising 😂. I like the way he's selling his skills and craft. T

[@Kai_Cheng]

Huge fan of Robert Richardson, thank you for the video!!

[@AlterCineYT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LucyGalliford]

Really insightful advice 🙏

[@SandbarFilmsStudios]

Genius... I look forward to working with Mr Richardson some day soon! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@husariaproductions4240]

Such valuable information.

[@laurencelesecq4744]

Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!

[@elichilton7031]

I have been a fan of his since his early days with Oliver Stone. I have always loved his work, his overhead hot lighting was always so cool to me. There are a lot of cinematographers I would like to see spotlighted, but my request would be Allen Daviau.

[@AlterCineYT]

Thanks for your request Eli! Allen Daviau was a legend, we'll definitely add him to our list

[@paulbvid]

Incredible

[@johnn.marshall4566]

My favorite DOP. 👍😎

[@michael_viteritti]

Awesome DP =)

[@roomforcreamfilms]

Legend!

[@iraowens]

Appears that you jumped from #2 to #4 am I mistaken?

[@jackhackett80]

Needed to see more Mama Cass running

[@4josuehenrique]

Show👏👏

[@babayaga6453]

Bro can you do another video on Christopher Nolan??

[@AlterCineYT]

Yup for sure we haven't yet done the full Nolan feature, definitely will do one!

[@Kamandi1971]

amen

[@jv8studios]

That would be cool! What is your favourite Christopher Nolan film ?

[@Kamandi1971]

i wish their was a true debate on film vs digital when they are sitting next to each other Robert Richardson is all about film and Roger Deakin is about digital two different worlds. i cant agree more on number 2 especially in this age of filmaking he is not wrong you hear Deakin taking a shot at him saying your so old fashion lame

[@AlterCineYT]

Hey, just to mention Robert Richardson isn't all about film, he's actually quite open to using digital and have used digital on projects like Hugo. We didn't include the section about him discussing film vs digital because we don't think that's a useful advice, however, he said that although he loves the look of film, he's completely open to shooting on digital and sees great value in using digital for the speed (very much in line with the way Deakins thinks). The ability to shoot high ISO allowed him to think in a completely different way with lighting that didn't require a lot of lights. Also the point "you're so old fashioned Bob" was a joke made by Caleb Deschanel (who was also in that discussion)

[@kolecava]

Story and immersion of the environment takes over any tool. Film or digital, shoot with what suits the narrative but precedent is story and immersion of the world characters are in. At least how I see it.

[@Kamandi1971]

@@AlterCineYT dont tell that. To QT and Nolan and many others

[@AlterCineYT]

@@kolecava Agreed. Robert along with many other top cinematographers we have profiled all think this way. Story over any tool!

[@Kamandi1971]

@@kolecava I do agree the story is what s important. The tools are secondary

great advice accept the eyepiece doesn't work for evertyone

[@rattoh]

[@ya2121]

Anyone who says how much of a nice guy he is have obviously never worked with him. What a diva
