Understanding the Cinematography of P. C. Sreeram

[@AlexMurphyVideos]

Thanks for introducing me to films and cinematographers I otherwise might have never known.

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@AwesomeStuff2424]

wolfcrow Hyy dude is that your real voice in the video. Can you tell me what tools to use perfect audio with less noise. And also tell me is that a automated machine voice in the narration like in Pdf reader

[@SaravananElavarasu]

make a video on BALU MAHENDRA

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

In India Cinematographers are underestimated , mostly they says film belongs to director . but mostly Indian movies are stupid only if i can found some quality in Indian films is because of good visuals and good visuals are there due to Cinematographer . but i also want to say there is no one person who can make a film its a team work of Director , Cinematographer , Art Directors , Actors and Editor and how can we forgot the writer who write the story for the film . This video is really good . good to see work of Indian cinematographer .

[@aravindmgopal969]

dont comment if you don't know what cinema is...and go improve your grammar

[@Manu-tf9cu]

^^You could use a bit of punctuation lessons yourself. What he said is true. Also, if you disagree with Jaspreet, the way to go about it is to use a proper, logical counter-argument while being polite at the same time. Asking someone to shut up and questioning his knowledge without offering your own mastery on the subject is amusing.

[@ganeshss3806]

We give enough importance to celebrities.. How many Hollywood movies have you watched for a cameraman.. Here u know pc, santhosh Sivan, nirav shaw, kathir, ratninavel, kv anand, natraj, velraj.... No country common man knows this much cinematographer

[@aravindmgopal969]

The biggest problem is how you people see cinema. Its an art form like PC said. I agree with whatever Jaspreet said. But one thing made me angry. His view on Indian cinema. That's why I said that.

[@aravindmgopal969]

Hey man , I'm a film student. Don't make me start with my list. hehehe :D :D

[@corneliusdobeneck4081]

Sounds to me like the Indian Howard Hawks (camera wise). Enjoying your channel pretty much due to straight forward opinions and good information AND your encouragemant to look into film and present various people from film. Here in the West we barly get anything from Indian cinema but the same old action/love Bollywood standard. Salute and keep up the good work.

[@raajviews6942]

More than pc sriram , You are great by revealing his unique shots.

[@abhisheknair2863]

Thanks for making these videos on Indian cinematographers because learning things from these people who made top notch cinema without the proper resources is the best way for an aspiring filmmaker like me to learn.

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@AlisiaMoore229]

You continue opening my eyes to different aspects of cinematography, thank you for all the knowledge you share. Great inspiration

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@antonyjoseph.s8099]

Fantastic Compilation & Great Video on the Cinematography work of the Legend PC Sreeram

[@fortphoenix]

Love your channel and your videos! Keep up the good work!! PC Sreeram is a magician behind the camera!

[@CyberjoeantoclickS]

A must watch for all aspiring Cinematographers. Fantastic compilation of the Great PC sir. Thanks, u Dear TEam for Presenting this Video.Hatts of to the Team these Motivational Boosters for Aspiring Passionate Photographers like us.

[@beautyofcinema1635]

Please make videos on Korean,Japanese, Indian and chinese Cinematographers more often.I love your videos

[@NihalSajid]

Awesome videos , please make more on Indian Cinematographers

[@bobbysands6923]

Gorgeous work. Never heard of him. Thanks for the post.

[@siddharthbrahma5132]

Santosh sivan,rajeev mennon and p.c.sreeram are gods of indian cinema.

[@sanchitaghosh6289]

What about Ravi Varman? I like the way he deliberately puts the lights inside the frame and make the faces pop out.

[@bl3731]

can you do a video on CHUNG Chung-hoon - the cinematographer for Sympathy for lady vengeance, thirst, stroker etc Great video as always !

[@JPSingh-ys7yq]

Chiaroscuro is generally and perhaps also originally is in black and white. With P C Sreeram it also seems to blossom a lot in colour. Perhaps one of many arrows in his quiver.

[@balaramanand6639]

.........strong back lighting powerful compositions and revealing character by light and shadow

[@rabindrasasmal7445]

Wow. It was truly an enlightening episode . Please do a episode on Rajeev Ravi also! Keep going! Cheers! :)

[@tarasshevchenko8917]

Thank you for introducing us to P.C.

[@satishkumarnallaparaju6387]

After Balu Mahendra sir, P. C. Sriram shown excellent frames with amazing lighting techniques.

[@nandhabalamurugan511]

Atlast you did it,thanks wolfcrow for making this video

[@lololee2580]

should come out releasing all the interview video with thier websites so that checking in to understand what he worshiped with his camera techniques turn bet output or inputs to readers learning the art to discover their intelligence

[@ahmedally2622]

Great output as always Sareesh. Would love to see an insight on Manuel Alberto Claro. Thank you, and keep it going.

[@dragonofdojima1998]

Here are some suggestions: John Mathieson, Bojan Bazelli, Freddie Francis, Dariusz Wolski, Stuart Dryburgh, and above all else: Dante Spinotti. Regardless of who you'll do next, as an aspiring cinematographer this is the most productive and analytical series I've ever seen on cinematography. Keep up the phenomenal work.

[@Udhbhavana]

Hi, I have been watching your reviews about various cinematographers. Its actually good work. Keep it up. I am much interested. Hoping to see lot more like this.

[@NthHour]

Absolutely great video, mate!

[@explorerelka]

Feature old greats like Ellies Duncan, Kamal Ghosh. and many more from the early years. Cinematographers of the Silent era too.

[@brindhaganesan3580]

Wonderful. Thank you for this video. 😊🙏🏻

[@Pavankumardaggupati]

Please do a video on Ravi Varman

[@kevinkino400]

Another excellent video, thank you for making it. I hope that at some point you can make a cinematography of the X-Files video. That show (along with Twin Peaks) helped change television. It won many awards for its look. Also I believe there are at least 2 issues of American Cinematographer that interview the main DP. (I got a subscription due to your recommendation). Thank you again, and keep up the good work.

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@Thesearcher12314]

It was a great learning experience from this video man. Cheers! It would be very helpful if u provide the PDF which u talked about in this video.

[@prabhuramselvan]

I'm proud to be Tamilian because of his contribution to tamil films. Thank you making a video of him Sudhakar

[@aravindsamyr9365]

Nearly All Top cinematographers of India are tamilians

[@jyothsna231]

the narrator sound more like a Zombie or a Robot rather than man with flesh and blood PC SreeRam deserves a narration that has life....

[@aspirestudios8167]

Re: his last comment: just today, in a multiplex, an Indian movie was being screened on an IMAX screen while all the Oscar nominated movies were being screened on standard screens; I only dreamt that this would happen 20 years ago! Nice video!

[@saiashwin26]

I think Rajeev Ravi is the best contemporary cinematographer working right now

[@ihaveproblems1360]

I’ve just added quite a few more Tamil movies to my ‘movies to watch’ list. Mouna Ragam for one. I’ve heard all the songs but not watched the movie.

[@AK-cf6sj]

It's a classic love story like notebook.

[@satyaazyumar986]

great work! do Adam Arkapaw, Chung-hoon Chung, John Mathieson and Greig Fraser please!🙏

[@theoptimisticguy8089]

This video is really great...

[@RalphLindsen]

What do you think of the late Bobby Singh’s work? He seemed to be quite an up and commer. I worked with him when he was shooting in the Netherlands for the movie Queen. I’m not gonna pretend I know Indian cinema well, but his eye and how he was in life, especially to the younger camera crew members around him makes me think India lost one of the greats with his tragic death. Curious about your perspective on him and his work.

[@jonagoldd]

Really enjoy these video's! Could you also do one about Chung-Hoon Chung? Love the way he moves the camera. Keep up the good work!

[@rnk6817]

MY BEST WISHES TO P C SIR!!

[@AK-cf6sj]

Please analyze the works of Ashok Kumar done with dir. J.Mahendran. Like Mullum Malarum, Uthiripookal and Nandu. He was the rockstar as P.C.Sreeram said in one of his recent interview.

[@AveekMajumderCinema]

Please make one video on great bengali DOP Subrata Mitra (Satyajit Ray s cinematographer)... And your channel is awesome . . . I regularly follow it . . . Thank you for this extraordinary documentation on world of Cinematography . . .

[@emildon9501]

IRUVAR was awesome ... #santhosh Sivan sir 😍😍

[@iq-people]

Most of the people know about only hero, heroine and director of the movie. They don't know what is cinematography and what cinematographer do in films.

[@gedeles4476]

Hi Sareesh. Great video as usual. Could you do one on José Luis Alcaine?, the go to cinematographer of Pedro Almodovar. Thanks.

[@jinitghelani5860]

Can we have one video on Ravi Varman ?

[@doriedson1418]

Make a video about Owen Roizmam's cinematography, please.

[@dharmateja3366]

Great effort and great video. Thanks for making this. and please I request you to make a video with Chota K naidu. my favorite after PC Sriram sir. Thank you.

[@nandhabalamurugan511]

[@AGASI999]

[@Dinesh_r99]

He is from Tamil Nadu only...

[@tamilsviews5810]

[@いちごくろさき-m7f]

Semma million thanks 🙏🤘

[@ganeshachari3288]

iam a big fan of PC sreeram

[@sathsang]

Cannot be taught, It can only be worshipped :) YES YES YES

[@truefilm1556]

Awesome video essay as always. I sincerely hope that many of the great Indian movies on film can and will be preserved in time. I know Martin Scorsese's company is investing a lot in hunting down the best available elements (source material) of neglected non-American films - and restore them to what was originally intended (although what exactly that is, takes a lot of research, dedication and guesswork once the director and DP are gone, who probably had to deal with release prints that varied a lot and TV airings that ruined the look and feel). Anyway: I have seen a few parts of more recent Indian movies (from the time of film to digital transition) and I must confess that at first I didn't like the aesthetics, especially the extremely saturated colors and what looks like digital sharpening. BUT it's a different culture and colors (and what they mean) play a completely different role. The same applies (to a lesser extend) to Brazilian films: you see slums with walls painted in bright, saturated colors. Anyway: even with the old telecine footage from scratched prints: I can see that in many scenes the lighting and blocking are fantastic. Will definitely look deeper into Indian cinema. I'm sure there are a lot of true treasures. Thanks for another great video!

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@mamasworldjunnu2019]

good video. please upload more

[@srinavin]

excellent work brother

[@Tylerdurden_OR_die]

PC Sreeram is my guru

[@akhilgedela9613]

PC Sir I💟u 📷🎥📷🎥

[@ajt11at]

You need to take a look at Madhu Ambat sir's work.

[@LilAngelRebel]

I have to say that I find watching your analysis videos addictive. What's your take on Binod Pradhan?

[@KarthikKarthik-db9zc]

Story writing and screen play are the backbone of a successful film.rest all are just ad ons

[@anirudhdalvi3569]

Highest paid cinematographer is Sudeep Chatterjee I suppose. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@basamajahufar3006]

Anirudh Dalvi as far as I know it's PC sreeram

[@k7lord152]

Nayagan was not taken from Godfather story. It was a real story of a Tamil South Indian who dominated North India with love for good and violence for bad.

[@AK-cf6sj]

Godfather inspired and also loosely based on Varadharaja Mudhaliar

[@milhuisen]

Request: Sayombhu Mukdeeprom

[@thamizhpallikoottam7337]

Thanks to wolf crow to uploaded this video

[@mohnishvaish7949]

he did the lighting for that church scene in ok kanmani??? All due respect to the man but when i first saw that scene i was like why are there 2 sources for the sun on opposite sides?

[@AK-cf6sj]

He tried to use those sources as mirages. As he did it in Agni natchathiram with Artificial ones. I guess. But, it all goes with mood, I guess. Maniratnam is also someone who loves sun.Along with some A.R.R touch, it worked well for me.

[@sivashankar4026]
