I go through some of Harris Savides' cinematography techniques to help you understand his unique style.
Just to be clear: Harris Savides changed his style to suit the movies he shots. The goal of this video and article is to drum up enthusiasm and a yearning to learn more.
Think of it as a tribute, nothing more is intended.

My mentor assisted Harris on a handful of features in New York and I am so honored have been blessed with all the great on-set stories about lighting and camerawork. He was a true genius. I think 'the yards' is still one of his best....

[@AssociationCorp]

someones probably already requested this, but anthony dod mantle? hes had an interesting career, especially with the dogme stuff.

[@jmalmsten]

Well, since I'm a big fan of the earlier half of Luc Bessons career, then perhaps I could suggest Thierry Arbogast as a future subject.

[@Pavankumardaggupati]

John Toll, Michael Ballhaus, Caleb Deschanel please

[@jfnovotny]

Please consider adding credits for the films you show in the video and sources for your information. Thanks! Great work.

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@obsidiansky1863]

You say he liked low contrast images but then later in the video that he kept contrast ratios high? Could you elaborate on this?

[@wolfcrow]

I just made a video last week explaining the difference.

[@RYSEproductions]

How do you know all of this? Some information is extremely specific...

[@wolfcrow]

For this one I used an Ouija board

[@RYSEproductions]

Ahh niw i get it? And for the other ones? ;)

[@themmstudiopodcast7501]

amazing as always. what he did with color and skin tone on Bling Ring really inspired the inner pervert in me cause it was all so warm and silky and seductive.

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@NikolaiOfmosquitos]

analyze maybe Sergey Urusevsky's style. i feel it has a lot in common with Lubezki's

[@nickward1069]

Andre Turpin?

[@bowwow0949]

do you know wolf online?

[@Ryancamron3342]

What's the movie in the thumnail

[@jamescremins5460]

The Bling Ring

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Very nice. I only wish each clip had been captioned with the title of the film being shown.... Something small and unobtrusive....

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@MarcDeAcetis]

Raoul Coutard please!

[@wolfcrow]

Next week.
