Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Jerry, is that from INGLORIOUS BASTERDS? @KK, more Bergman? I'm going to go for WINTER LIGHT, but I'm probably wrong. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,520 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Transitioning from real mountains into a CG map, floating over it to where we are next, pulling off of the CG map into a real room, sitting on a dolly, then doing a creeping sliding pan on it to look in on Bilbo muttering to himself, in one shot. On the last rewatch tons of creative camerawork stuck out to me in Fellowship, but much less so in the other two. Maybe I was too drawn into it by then.

Maybe I was too drawn into it by then. I think that's the explanation. It was all shot in one-go, so there isn't really any reason for the camerawork to be different film-to-film. Its illusory. There is some more overtly-stylized, in-your-face shots in stuff that got shot very early on in the shoot (I'm mostly thinking the wide-angle-lensed closeups in the Prancing Pony) that got ironed-out in the following weeks, but otherwise I don't see a difference in how the films were covered. If you want inventive camerawork, watch Heavenly Creatures. The camerawork there is as wacky as the main characters. But inventive and effective aren't necessarily the same thing, and I like the more restrained approach that shaped-up during The Lord of the Rings.

Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yes. I remembered that the film was very good, and that Gyllenhaal was very good (frighteningly good, in fact). But the nighttime cinematography is excellent as well. And the focus in that last scene is much more gripping than the still image conveys.

Is it because of this pathetic need to not succumb to "spoilers". A couple of us enjoy guessing the movie from which the shots are taken, so the title is hidden. However, for those who'd rather not guess but still want to know the the film, they can simply reveal hidden contents and be informed.

Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I find these presumably inconspicuous looking films in Deakins' portfolio very rewarding when re-watching them. Only a few months ago I watched The Big Lebowski for probably about the 10th time and was amazed what a treasure trove of great shots it really is.
