How to Tell a Visual Story | Technique Breakdown with Larry Fong, ASC

[@omarknowsphotos]

How wild is it that this is free to watch on KZbin?

[@KiririnOnline]

not that wild considering its a sponsored video.

[@Thats_my_Point]

Damn. Having Larry is huge. I hope people realize how great this is to hear

[@alexman378]

I think Watchmen is his best work as a cinematographer.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Casey, I'm pumped to watch this one. I really enjoyed watching the video you starred in, on filming interviews. Learned a lot!

[@RobbScholarTube]

Bro this is sooo flippin good!

[@hollyrose-farquharson9118]

For real. This is dope.

[@samaBR333]

and that's what we call A MASTERCLASS. cheers!

[@indymogul]

thanks for tuning in!

[@samaBR333]

hold that like, i've just watched half of the video

[@samaBR333]

@@indymogul man, i just love your content

[@nicklong7442]

Okay. This was incredible. I love how detailed everything was. Please do more stuff like this with cinematographers. So much good info! Also, Super8 has been one of my favorite movies.

"Where's that light coming from? The same place the music is coming from." - gaffer

[@nicklong7442]

Samuel Costa I’m gonna remember that for a long time.

[@MUKTISHW]

What does it mean? I did not understand it.

[@samaBR333]

Muktish W background music in movies comes from nowhere, like, it’s there to create atmosphere but most of the time is not coming from a source that you can see in the scene (like a radio, or speaker).

[@SoopaCoopa]

I can't get over that comment! I have been finding myself more more liking unmotivated light and streaks but getting insecure about them. I am going to use this all the time.

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

😂 Loved this!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Wow, this was SO AWESOME. First, I feel like Ted was just in awe the whole time. There was a level of respect that you could see like a younger dude talking to his grandpa. It was really sweet to watch. Second, Larry is just absolutely brilliant and so funny in an understated way. Great video!

[@courtlanderickson1134]

I have to say... I love just about every Indy Mogul video, but this one is incredible. Lighting was the hardest thing for me to get a good grasp on as I was starting out and hearing the strategy and execution from a cinematographer of that caliber is just badass.

[@alexman378]

Lighting seems so simple before you start analyzing it, and it becomes a nightmare soon after you start getting into it. There’s a million ways you can set it up, but only a handful of ways are the perfect ones for your specific needs.

[@eirjordan337]

I now know what the difference between “doing video” and “cinematographer” is. WOW 🤯

[@MrDaveDancer]

He is a true example for a cinematographer who pushes boundaries!

[@NathanCarterVids]

Larry Freaking Fong! Dude's a legend. Love that you're making this type of content. Only get to hear from guys like this in American cinematographer usually.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

He makes a nice light modifier too.

[@KeshArt]

This guys is legendary, I've loved all of the movies he's worked on, especially super 8. And I use that technique of using cheap practical lights in my work a lot, got that from that movie.

[@davidwebb091370]

thank you for uploading this ... i am learning a lot from your channel. Larry Fong is an amazing cinematographer!

[@indymogul]

IF YOU SHOOT THE REHEARSAL, IT'S NOT A REHEARSAL -- Larry's Cat Meme at 0:28

[@jennaraeblakeslee5154]

I saw the cat meme and was wondering what that was about. Thanks.

[@lightpointfilms3798]

I love how larry seems like such a down to earth guy, even though he is one of the elites.

[@africanhistory]

U will find most of them are. It is the ones on KZbin and the ones that wannabe that carry on like assess.

[@alexman378]

Real elites like him don’t feel the need to rub it in your face how great they are. They just let their work do the talking.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I LOVE these videos where you pick the brain of cinematographers for their techniques. They're so inspirational. Please keep these coming.

[@westwoodmanorfilms7779]

Ted this was freakin' great! Loved hearing Larry discuss his own work. One vote for you guys doing a series of these with different cinematographers. Big thumbs up!

[@Skanda1111]

Thank you indy mogul. I have always admired Mr.Larry Fong's visual style. His look is so unique that you can instantly recognize it just by looking at one frame.

[@devdhiman77]

I love this episode. Please, bring him back again along with Zack if you can. I want to know more about cinematography.

[@Szmajdzik]

Fully agree. I love cinematography in BvS and would love to know a lot more about this movie.

[@stevengonz]

Huge fan of both Fong and Snyder so the 300 and BvS commentary was so dope :D

[@satansatansatan]

always a pleasure to hear a great craftsman talk about his work. def try to to do more of these!

[@mitchmedmedia5386]

I just watched 300 and that long take caught my eye. I assumed that it was like 8k with a bunch of punch-in's. The actual method is so amazing!

[@nnnnnn496]

8 k cameras did not exist in 2006-7 when 300 was shot. 8k cameras only got released in 2013.

[@devinjudin2500]

Indy Mogul use to be my childhood go to, and now it's comeback as a staple in my filmmaking studies!

[@AstenRegis]

Love this! The look and feel of 300 is beautifully captured. Love the visual style of Zack Snyder's films.

[@RLinares22]

Such a great episode. Thanks for having Larry on the show and talking about his process. Love it!

[@giftwarieta]

@Indy Mogul, great opportunity to know more about cinematography. My passion is rekindled.

[@austinhue]

Ted is SO DAMN GOOD at his job.

[@juleslegal3023]

Dude wow! Amazing stuff yet again...Ted you guys are killing it! So cool to watch and learn from a master like Larry Fong. Keep em coming! 😀

[@johnhynesproductionslimite7522]

I’m a musician/producer and I have recently dabbled with making A few music videos...your channel is my go-to...simple as that...🙏thank you for all the help you’ve given me.

[@dvlarry]

One of the best and most in-demand DPs out there. Thanks.

[@marvelfoxmorty5057]

Very clever way, Indy.. This is the best episodes of 2019

[@xt8media117]

Dude, this is so awesome! I could listen to this stuff for literally hours.

[@siddhunkarthik]

Thanks dude for bringing such real working talents on youtube and with openmindedly sharing details. It is really nice. I fond of such people. Many thanks to you.

[@gamerpoets]

Some of my favorite movies. Awesome.

[@Joneedance]

I would die for an interview like this with the editor of Fury Road. Or even the storyboarder. Food for thought

[@AlphaProto]

Great video. From now on when I talk about cinematography with my friends I will name drop Larry Fong. People will think I am so cool.

[@robertpdavenportii2908]

Larry Fong is an inspiration! Great segments, I admire his body of work, nice to see he is so down to earth.

[@jacobelliss8970]

A minute into this and I already love this guy

[@ScottBalkum]

Love Larry and his work. Genuine great guy!

[@KeonHector]

Feel like I've seen this before but I'll just watch it out to make sure.

[@indymogul]

it's worth the second watch for sure.

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

So good to watch this! Thank you guys. More of these would be wonderful

[@seezoos]

This was so helpful, thank you Indy, hope to see more of these videos, learning about what types of lighting, what feel does it give, and all the tips and tricks that help us as small cinematographers.

[@Q2Japan]

One of the coolest videos I've seen on KZbin this year. Seriously. Thanks!

[@8lec_R]

Oh damn! I didn't know this series was gonna be the main series going forward. I have had this video downloaded for over a year and I'm just watching it. Great job with the series 😁

[@nnnnnn496]

Why does it not have millions of views? Deserves a lot more.

[@LimitedSpectrum]

Ah, Larry Fong is great! I love this kind of stuff. Been a huge movie geek my whole life, and I've been playing with cameras for a few years now. This guy makes me want to leave work early and go shoot something RIGHT NOW!!!

[@vernardfields7044]

I love this approach to production stage lighting. Can you get the DP for Netflix's Lemony Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events, please? I love the way that the whole series was shot with beautiful lighting in every shot.

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

Keep doing these videos..There is so much to learn from these experts.This is Priceless to hear how rhe professional experts work in the industry.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@cathycreatesart]

I seriously loved this! Indy Mogul is knocking out some amazing content. Please do as many of these as you can! I highly appreciate this and really hope there Is more similar interviews to come. Keep up the good work

[@LKH_Productions]

Thank you so much for this! Great interview! Excellent information for any aspiring filmmaker! 🙂🎥🎬

[@nyaneswaranmanogaran5925]

The fact that you got Larry Fong in Indy Mogul Cinematography breakdown is so huge! Thank you so much Ted! But I wish we got the breakdown from Watchmen & Kong: Skull Island as well! I always wanted an in-depth breakdown from Watchmen to know what technique that made it look soo good!! A separate tutorial pls. :D

[@cavern_collective]

These breakdown series are fire! Thank you so much for making this!

[@mvictorydp]

I'd love to know how the three cameras were arranged for the 300 shot, like was it top to bottom, side to side? Did the Long Lens lead, followed by medium and wide? Or was the wide in the middle? Any insights would be great!

[@adepew]

Amazing! More of this is for sure welcome! This was super bad ass. And I will remember and for sure use that Gaffer quote: "Where's that light coming from? The same place the music is coming from."

[@anxietyrecoverycom]

Funniest part is the outtake at the end. When hes saying he was having an anxiety attack 😂

[@retlwiz]

Really great stuff - I hope you keep this format going.

[@leroykincaide]

OH SHIT.... You guys so just featured a short clip that I directed and starred in. "Forbidden King" shot totally on a canon 7D. Thanks for featuring the video guys. MY EVENING IS SET, LOVE YOU GUYS :)

[@EposVox]

Fantastic, wonderful episode. So much fun to watch and I learned a lot. But I didn't see any red in the BvS flares and I'm really confused by that

[@andrewmccarty]

At 18:26 if you look at the right wing of the metal bat, you'll see two small vertical flares. One is red and one is blue, though they are pretty desaturated so its hard to tell.

[@HeyIntegrity]

@@andrewmccarty a better look at 18:29. Also if you have an HDR copy of the movie, the red is far more saturated and easy to see. It occurs around 21:06 in the film.

[@p4rzival127]

the explaination on the 300 shot is so cool

[@goestforears978]

educational, i will always watch this video again and again. thank you so much.

[@albertso7108]

I clicked the like 7x on this. just wow! more like this video. The best part was when he solved things on set with practical approaches. Mastery. Larry Fong! wow!

[@thomasdelfs]

Fantastic work, this was very informative, also great guest and hosting.

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Love this. Thank you Larry Fong, and you too Ted

[@austinjansma8303]

This is so cool, I think it would be cool if this was one of many to became a series. Super valuable information, more please thank you.

[@MorganTDaniels]

Just incredible. So interesting to hear how he accomplishes his vision.

[@Ubuntugraphics]

Love the content you guys create!! Thay really have been helping me on my filmmaking journey. Thank you, guys!!!!!

[@jayalbajr]

Crazy insight on the simplicity of some of his shots. Gives me a little bit of hope for an upcoming project.

[@fitlovepower661]

Super dope insight to those iconic films. The 3 camera thing in 300 fight scene blew my mind such amazing job.

[@TrickTrades]

how the hell does this only have 113k views?????? this is genius! Fong is amazingt

[@learnwithmeasala1536]

You are very lucky man to meet like those creative men keep it up and thanks to share it with us

[@rankin_production]

I must say I really enjoyed this interview, Very informative and he is so cool.

[@JacobHagloch]

Super cool video. I love the behind the scenes look at how these films were made and the decisions made.

[@ChrisParayno]

Been loving the latest stuff. The break down is on point.

[@TheScottGillies]

THANK YOU for the Secret Sauce especially!

[@InSaudi]

I remember watching that action scene with zooms, I was impressed by it back when the movie was released, but only now got to know how they actually achieved those crazy zooms and speed ramps together. However, I'm still looking forward to watch someone do a step by step tutorial of stitching all three type of shots in post, seamlessly.

[@Corona40z]

Whoa!!!!!! How did you get Larry Fong?! That’s freaking amazing! Please more content like this. Would love to hear from Snyder too. Would love to hear from professionals in other parts like the art department, Foley, sfx, Composers.

[@Geritopia]

Very talented guy and resourceful, which comes from experience in many modes of production and budgets. Hi-five Larry.

[@AbhijitJoshitheone]

His work Kong the skull island was just mind blowinggg
