Well shot movies
Discussion
a few stunningly shot films:
requiem for a dream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz45M9nVF0M
spun (even tho they ripped off requiem's style) great title sequence here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skiUUrYxZeA volvo content inside :-)
dark days...16mm black and white film about homeless people living in new york subway tunnels, what i like about this film is he just used what he had, the people living down there tapped the electricity, worked as crew, stared in the film, and even built dolleys to shoot tracking shots that run along the subway lines. inspirational stuff (he's a brit too) couldn't have been shot ANY other way. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fuo52ILhWHY
some of the itv drama's have amazing cinematography, "boy A" that was on a few weeks ago looked superb.
i watch movies thinking "wow that would make an amazing photo"
great thread :-)

scag dealing buzz lightyear....GOLD.
Lawrence of Arabias cinematography is amazing, especially the scene with the two camels running past each other on the desert and Omar Shariffs initial scene. Then again Freddie Young wasnt exactly a shabby DOP was he!
Constant Gardener i thought was beautifully shot too. The movies Three Kings and Jarhead I thought were well photographed too.
Saving Private Ryan is an obvious choice but rightly so IMO.
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid has fantastic cinemaphotography also.
all IMO of course!

Ok... might sound like I'm off on a tangeant, But..
Heroes, the 2nd series, I noticed this watching in HD in the last episode (no.11?)
Two people in frame, one very close to the camera on the left, the other, far away on the right, both very sharply in focus.. But the middle ground.. Blurred out?!? Kinds similar effect to a tilt and shift lens on a still camera, is this how they do it?
pretty impressive all the same!
another thing I saw on the making of on beeb2, they filter the different locations, so one place has a yellow hue, other place a grey hue etc. so you then, later on know what location they are in without the on screen prompting! thought that was kinda cool too!

Left field answer for you; Top Gear.
Ok it's not a movie, but my goodness are the car reviews shot and produced well!
(agree about Bourne trilogy. Though, I'd say number 3 - The Bourne Ultimatum was just ever so slightly a bit too OTT compared with first and second. Nevertheless, awesome films
)

Another average film I saw recently with stunning visuals (if OTT) was '300'
Just about all CGI too. Even the bits that don't look CGI, if you follow me.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
