Roger Deakins: On Cinematography

[@Luuke1997]

I love how he comes off as someone you’d see down the pub and could have a fun chat with. But also is able to craft incredible visuals, and just masterpieces on film.

[@nikhilchandra9258]

Some things are so obvious. The shine in his eyes when he talks about visuals and operating the camera, the smile on his face, its so genuine. He really loves his job. What an great man and an inspiration to many.

[@nishitnalubola3535]

Roger is a kid who never gets old. He does it for pure Joy.

[@TheFilmLook]

Really really love this. He seems like such a great guy.

[@airtightdubs]

I've worked with so many terrible people in this position. Roger seems very well grounded and a fine human. Doesn't seem like he has let the ego overcome him, like so many I have had the displeasure of dealing with.

[@greenclydefrog]

Wow, I am in the process of learning and had already met so many terrible people in this field. I thought it was just my luck, I am glad to know it wasn’t just me.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

i think his wife is the buffer to make sure that doesn't happen. why do you think there are so many morons in that position out of interest?

[@vazzufree]

Unlike every other job in the world I feel cinematography is one of the only things that gets better with age. Somewhat like whisky, the older it gets the better.

[@josephmorales652]

Well.. I feel digital gets worse with age. Film looks beautiful

[@jas_bataille]

Digital get worse with age? Oh sure. And the Fujifilm Eterna simulation is worst than the first digital cameras, and the Arri Alexa sucks compared to some of the early digital cameras... oh common that's total BS Rogers Deakins shoot digital a lot now you're talking form your asses

[@jas_bataille]

I wouldn't say "unlike every other job"... on the contrary in fact, like most jobs the more experience you have the better you get. ;)

[@vazzufree]

+Joseph Morales by cinematography I mean the cinematographer's eye man. Digital and film is just the technical aspect but the eye of the cinematographer is the main thing. It can only get better with age and experience. You start seeing better as you age 😊

[@tyanctil]

In my opinion I don't believe it looks better or looks more beautiful I think its the nostalgic that people like.

[@hang-sangitch]

The greatest thing about roger deakins is his humanity. It shines through!

[@amsetharts]

I hope he will get the Oscar, he is a genius.

[@ma7ur97]

Ha

[@Azz-M]

1917 ...

[@OnYourDemand]

He got the OSCAR for Blade Runner 2049

[@charlesbukowski9752]

Oscar or not he's still brilliant. In fact, fuck the oscars.

[@gobira26]

''The best job on the set'' haha couldn't agree more, and the way he talks about it, this man is really passionate about his craft, as a camera operator myself, this interview made me really happy.

[@travies0.395]

I think what makes Roger deakins one of the best is the fact that he openly admits he doesn't know what cinematography is he just.....does it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@promilk]

My hero. Both professionally and personally.

[@benjamindbailey]

Lovely interview of the great artist. Thank you so much!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I'm with Roger Deakins. I love operating the camera as well. It's such an immersive experience.

[@plef5566]

Called out by Roger Deakins for not operating the camera during an interview

[@MartinBuzora]

fushangbin I cannot believe this camera operator cut his head off multiple times. What an indescribable shame considering the subject.

[@jacoville]

@@MartinBuzora Is this your joke?

[@MartinBuzora]

Jacobnguyen Nothing funny about the atrocious camerawork. If the subject was anyone else I wouldn’t care, but one of the greatest cinematographers in the world? How do they not hire a proper camera person?

[@Hail_Sagan]

Truly a master and undoubtedly the greatest of all time

[@nebo8043]

Congratilations Roger! From March 2018

[@lonewolfgamingplus379]

Such a master of his art. Next to Larry Fong he's my favorite cinematographer of all time

[@bilboswaggins9490]

larry fong has lost his touch it seems. have you seen the new predator film? that was quite bland honestly, i love his work on 300 and watchmen though.

[@stevengonz]

Same. Larry Fong is also one of the masters

[@trewhite7903]

In love with the way Roger Deakins pronounces *years* .

[@ibnar911]

what a nice and pleasent gentleman!

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

why do i fancy this man so much?

[@_officerK]

This man is a Genius.

[@chriscorley6478]

"Where you're putting the audience". Definitely. ☕

[@ElizabethKarr]

One of the best there is. Thanks for sharing this.

[@MrHEC381991]

He deserved the Oscar years ago...give him it for Blade Runner 2049 at least.

[@robchar009]

Can anyone tell me the name of the background music?

[@bluefilmsltd]

How did you go about lighting him btw?

[@vc6444]

What is the music that's playing in the background?

[@unclejezza]

What a legend

[@TCTDNEchannel]

What a nice fella

[@aperturefilm]

imagine the pressure the gaffers must have felt lighting up this interview

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

this guy is too amazing for amazing word .

[@NIKONGUY1960]

Is this interview available in its entirety?

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

he would get it

[@jacobreji810]

💖💖💖💖

[@dilfill]

Great video!!!

[@1_0es46]

GOAT

[@roberthhom]

Fuck, I think I'm in love with his work, or in love with him? I don't know

[@shiladitya_biswas]

I can watch this man talk whatever, even if though it's garbage, all day..

[@orestfilm]

Дякую!

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Wow.

[@LewisCraggs]

cosmic

[@nolgashi]

omg if i Roger Deakins called me out for not operating the camera on this interview I would alt f4 life.

[@sinematographers3344]

Hero

[@nateds7326]

Maybe just give him a microphone next time cause let’s face it when your interviewing roger deacons he’s gonna find something wrong with your camera work.

[@claudiamanta1943]

I doubt it.

[@mightisright]

Too modest.

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

Why don't you cut up the interview a bit more? Also, did the interviewer know it was going on? Perhaps he might tactically mic himself so the question might actually be heard. This whole little series from MAINE Film Festival is CRAP!
