Roger Deakins Talks ‘Sicario’, ‘Blade Runner 2’, and More

[@SDC_BIGTIME]

I'm very pleased, in an odd way, to hear Roger say that his favorite part of Blade Runner is the improvised line of "Tears in Rain" made by Rutger. That line has nearly made me cry, and knowing it was essentially made over dinner hours before shooting is so special to the creation of the entire project. I thought I was being too gushy over the significance of that scene's production, but it is truly wonderful.

[@OakSky]

Give this guy an Oscar already!

[@starsareangels]

+Star Lord tell me about it.

[@redrabbitproductions5916]

+Jerry Incandenza he has been nominated so many times it's not even funny

[@gabrieljlemay]

This year is the one.

[@rudolphsturling5236]

he got it!

[@KnarfStein]

He finally received them on his 14th and 15th nominations for _Blade Runner 2049_ (2017) and _1917_ (2019)!

[@my88110]

he WILL win the oscar for blade runner. Im 100% certain.

[@my88110]

NADS IQ i meant blade runner 2? i dont know what i meant honestly im a mess

[@Zombiesnyder13]

If he doesn't Let's burn down the Academy

[@DirByHasan]

Eleanor Rigby that's because Ridley Scott's most trust DP Jordan Cronenworth was seriously ill in the making of the first one and died a couple years after the film was released..I'm sure Roger would've been asked to work on it since he shot the wonderful 1984

[@DirByHasan]

***** yeah that caused a lot of issues between Ridley and his Crew BECAUSE he wanted to control the camera and the look. Good thing Denis is in charge of the film with Ridley producing

[@Jacklanton]

Selekta wow your comment about to come true :)

[@jawoody9745]

This Man deserves an Oscar for his incredible and brilliant and beautiful cinematography. He has been nominated for best Cinematographer 12 times now at the Academy Awards, and he has never won! I hope that this year (2015) is his year, especially for "Sicario" which was so incredibly shot by Mr. Roger Deakins.

[@heavystorm1614]

This guy is a genius.

Deakins, my favorite cinematographer.

[@patrickcharles9345]

One light & natural light from a window and a basic interview looks interesting. Master DP.

[@MsJilsephonie]

He might be 40-50 years older than me but i still have a huge crush on himhe is definitione of class and coolness

[@johnbrunedigital1]

You can't hook a microphone up to the guy and get clean audio? I would be falling over myself to acquire a wireless or lav mic of some kind (or a boom operator) if I knew I was going to interview Roger Deakins. Unbelievable!

[@musicmann1967]

Thanks for the video. He's the best of the best!

[@claude-denisally8894]

Interviewers should'nt be on coke at this point when the person interviewed has great things to say.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

This guy better get an Oscar for Blade Runner Or we will burn down the Academy

[@MikelGCinema]

Very humble, a true genius.

[@Shuriko]

"I have to go!" Really dude. Hes giving you his time, not other way around. Totally amature.

[@blacksun32]

He did that same thing in the video I just watched with the new Blade Runner director! Yeah, that's lame. If you are on limited time, you tell the interviewee before-hand that you've got 5 minutes, then DON'T force the end of the interview on camera! You simply say "thank you very much for your time" and end it.

[@2dotGo]

Its a press junket, so you have an alloted time with the talent. There are scores of interviewers milling around outside waiting to ask exactly the same questions.

[@shill1444]

Stelios Wolfgang - I'm sure you all figured it out by now. Its never that the interviewer has to go but its the interviewee with limited time at the junket. They only get a few minutes before someone puts them out and the next one comes in.

[@dramares]

"Nolan?... ... He's A Good Kid." - DEAKINS

[@Oceansta]

never seen RD so animated in an interview. i guess that coffee was Irish.

[@iamyourfuture808]

Kind of ironic ....here you are discussing the art of cinematography when you are using auto exposure to shoot the interview :-(

[@astralseeker]

"... if we can get a little bit of that, that will be great ..." indeed

[@nilecreatives3962]

Sir you are great cinematographer

[@Glimax]

GENIUS.

[@MarcoMuskus]

Pure wisdom !

[@saloksingh7]

The greatest ❤️🔥

[@2dotGo]

Vittorio Storaro is the king of cinematography but Roger Deakins is close on his heels to take the crown.

[@loubloom24]

Want to see him teaming up with Christopher Nolan.

[@adm8995]

For what? Guys like Dennis villenvue are on another league. Nolan would be a step down with his single dimensional plot centric movies.

[@jessica5497]

Nah. Nolan prefers film, Roger digital + Roger and Denis is an awasome duo that i want to see more of

[@loubloom24]

@@jessica5497 deakins Shot on film too. He used to I mean. But he said that he doesn't care about format. No country for old men was shot on film. I think it's one of his best work. Some of those awesome Shanghai sequences in skyfall was also Shot on film

[@joshuapaulramey3204]

What watch is he wearing?

[@AstralAbstraction]

Y'all are so harsh. This interview was fine.

[@jjbouhon]

It's always interesting to listen to Roger Deakins talking about his way of working. But, please, stop using the automatic mode on your camera (especially when you're speaking with a DP!). It's really boring to see the exposition moving each time Roger Deakins moves his hands in front of the camera!

[@IGameChangerI]

You should have asked him for a secret. He gave you the option. Right there. That was your chance.

[@Landrew0]

An awkward start that could have led to a disastrous interview, were it not for Roger's magnanimous attitude.

[@TheMovieguy223]

Who is giving the interview? I recognize the voice but cant figure out who it is!

[@ElCocineroSolitario]

+Gabriel Legua Its not the same guy. Similar voices though.

[@theborgv]

The guy who looks like Adam Savage

[@cinematicelements8852]

Show the lighting setup that Roger Deakins rigged on the fly.

[@dramares]

DEAKINS

[@gabrieljlemay]

The interviewer talks about himself too much.

[@robberesford904]

too short!
