Santosh Sivan On The Art Of Cinematography | Masterclass | Vishal Menon

[@sachinjoy6127]

"Kaalapaani" omg what a camera work

[@spokenenglishshaji785]

Truly a gem of his own kind. He is an exemplary cinematographer. It is a magic on screen when Maniratnam sir and Santhosh Sivan sir collaborate. The best thing about these gems is that they are curious to learn things even after having achieved milestones in their respective fields. You are an inspiration sir. Grear respect 🙏📽️🎬📸🎞️📷

[@kirann1238]

Thank you film companion for this masterclass, We want more masterclass like this.

Here is a master talking about moving away from system and methods to create appealing visuals, and sadly people are finding it hard to understand and criticising the interviewer for not making it look like a class! :/ Yeah, he is talking about his experiences and that along with his films alone is the best masterclass, goddammit!

[@saurabhnair5997]

Vishal was fanboying santosh sir the whole time. It's like baddie told him boy this is the big day in your life you are going to interview Santosh Sivan.

[@vivjos1262]

Anyone can teach you the techniques involved in a craft. But, knowing the journey of someone who is legendary is the true Masterclass. And I personally think this was purely engaging for me. Myself being a Cinematographer I felt more connected with this talk. Good going!

[@b0rangan]

Thank you. Yes. A masterclass is more about something personal and not so much of a craft workshop. I loved learning about the small and big milestones in the journey of this great cinematographer.

Met this legend up close at Tvm airport, requested a picture. But he didn't oblige. Respected his privacy , shook his hands and came off. Later I regretted I should have got his autograph atleast..🙄

[@shanteshrow7197]

This was anything BUT a masterclass. Missed opportunity to get into a genius mind and see how his art and craft takes shape.

[@KrishnaKumarGreenPepper]

Shallow questions. Vishal got the legendary Santhosh Sivan for 50 minutes, and not even a single insight he could gather about cinematography. I will give you a Master Class on interviewing legends.

[@vijayVRnambiar]

Krishna Kumar even if its BR, he ask from the pov of script and direction or ask about the directors (especially mani ratnam) of a film. Nothing from the pov of cinematography. both are not good to interview a cinematographer I guess, so better be happy that we could hear santosh sivan!!

I wanted to hear more from SS and listen to him on and on...perhaps another interview should be done by picking the top 15 or 20 of his favourites (his and others' work) and sharing his experiences from them...the challenges he had to overcome to achieve a particular shot, references, etc, etc, when he has the time to give an exhaustive interview.

The Kerala tourism clips u hve shown is not shot by Santosh Shivan... It's shot by K U Mohanan and directed by Prakash Varma... This is least expected from Film Companion... Pls do ur research and get things right before u put up something online... Because we have huge respect for BR

How is this a masterclass? 17 min in but didn't feel like it more like personal stories . mysskin's masterclass was way better.

It also depends on the person being interviewed. And let's take a moment to appreciate the effort from Vishal.

[@krunalsoni3864]

It is the Arjuna who can bring A Bhagwad Geeta because Krishna have ocean, It is work of Arjuna to bring Amrit.....I think do interview again of this gem personality, Ask him what made him a great cinematographer? What is inside him in deep down! Ask him on process not on outcomes, Outcomes can be seen but process can’t be seen, It can be listened from originator! Anyway Thanks for your work!

Shoes walking through trees, sees a woman in a distance, the man reaches the woman, she screams and turns around, and then she comes forward and rests on his chest, then he pats her head, and says, it's done let's move on, they walk with her resting her head on his shoulders, they move forward as they walk forward they start turning into dust and fate away in the wind, as they move forward the camera rises up to show a mountain, and the title comes up, the blood thirsty mountain, As the camera moves forward the mountain opens bloody red eyes. The scene shows a car riding up the highway with the mountain in sight The heroine is driving and the hero is eating an apple and having a smoke. He tells her, I didn't know we will! Make it. She holds his hand and says, it's your dream. The camera shows a house they hero and heroine are playing with their daughter. This story will go on, if you comment continue.

[@KING-ri2vs]

*Santosh Sivan has mentioned before that he does run of the mill potboiler action thrillers of Murugadoss and others of the same ilk to provide him with enough funds to shoot his personal projects. I understand that but the fanboy in me sincerely hopes he would stop agreeing to those mass masala flicks henceforth coz it's not helping his filmography in any way rather on the contrary. We can see he is sleepwalking through those movies and these directors call him to add in a big name in the crew list and that's it. Genres doesn't matter and shouldn't as well but these "mass" directors mostly don't have an aesthetic sense and they completely rely on the mass hero and concentrate more on building his persona while the look and feel of the movie take a backseat. Hope Santosh Sir has made enough money to say a firm NO to movies that dont help in bringing out the best in him.*
