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....

[@lajeteefan]

My older brother worked with Harris Savides on the Gus Van Sant film "elephant".

Hi! amazing work such an inspiration can you please do something about the cinematographer Manuel Alberto Claro?

[@wolfcrow]

[@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.

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

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@ptcougopinto]

Fantastic, as always. Do you know of anyone doing similar (high quality!) analysis but on film directing?

[@wolfcrow]

Let's all sign a petition on change.org to get Spielberg to reveal his secrets!

[@MarcDeAcetis]

Raoul Coutard please!

[@wolfcrow]

Next week.

[@MarcDeAcetis]

Looking forward to it,

[@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!

[@nickward1069]

Andre Turpin?

[@NikolaiOfmosquitos]

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

[@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.

[@miguelriveraalvarez1855]

Zodiac was his best work, a very underrated film.

[@bowwow0949]
