I'm just wondering why you were posting a random YT video. If I posted a new thread with every video I liked then the place would just look like my YT viewing history and not a forum where discussions can happen and people can share knowledge etc. I don't know what experiences you had in high school, but I've been an adult a long time and I've become fond of talking to people. I really don't know what you were trying to say? What point were you trying to make? Maybe if you actually typed something then there might be some communication....? There are all sorts of interesting things in that video, so the discussion could be a good one. Let's all leave high school behind and try and discuss things like adults 🙂 eatstoomuchjam and BenEricson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Sewell Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I watched this yesterday and it inspired me to watch the first film (only 5 years late!). It's unusual to see Waqas quite so excited about something but it was an excellent view into the art, rather than the technique, in top-end colour grading.

kye Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I highly recommend going to the source if you're interested in going deeper, here are a couple of interviews with Jill on Joker that I found to be fascinating and thought-provoking: ...and this interview with Jill on John Wick and other films where they even talk about specific shots etc: Lots of info out there if you search and go looking for it 🙂 Tim Sewell, SRV1981 and PannySVHS 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed he was really animated and passionate thought it was a cool breakdown of the trailer. What was your take on the first film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the utter lack of it has me admiring Ripley on Netflix right now. I’m partly thinking the Amalfi coast should be in colour, but the rest is definitely working for me as a B&W production. Of course it would look shite if the coastal stuff was colour whilst the rest was B&W but chapeau on this 8 parter, I think it’s great.

The script is great, taking what was originally a book, then a French film, then the well known Matt Damon movie and now an 8x near 1 hour episode series. The acting is great. The cinematography IMO is superb. I have zero criticisms of it and that is rare for me. Tim Sewell and SRV1981 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it’s not a Joker II comment 😛 Didn't know that was in B&W. Thanks for the heads up. I adore B&W, so much so that I've been testing my FP in 4K 8bit mode for the sole purpose of having a smaller set up for a B&W film.

MrSMW Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It’s also an ‘updated’ film noire approach for the 2020’s. There’s also a nod I think to Wes Anderson, but not in a comedic way and almost every single frame is a like a work of art. The locations, the lighting, the framing, how one frame leads in to another… My kind of filmmaking. Tim Sewell and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
