Amazing DP, I was surprised at the shot he picked from The Batman, out of all those beautiful shots I would have never expected the prision one.
This.
Yeah, for me it’s the car chase
Magnolia. One of the best movies ever made. You can feel these characters as if you could reach out and touch them
Tremendous cinematographer! I feel like he's influenced by the master Roger Deakins himself! Incredible work so far and he's definitely going ever further with his pedigree.
God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus longs to be with you and he is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out.
@@L17_8 ... go back to bed
I think they are actually fairly good friends
@@L17_8 And like him, Roger Deakins sent us Greig Fraser to absolve our cinema sins.
Yeah he is on a similar level of Deakins honestly! Wouldn't be surprised if Dune Part 2 won the Oscar this year for best cinematography
This Aussie is officially up there with Roger Deakins and Chivo in my book. Tremendous Cinematographer.
Tough, mate. Talking of masterpieces there.
The rogue one shot is incredible!
It rehabilitated the charackter.
He should have won the oscar for The Batman also. Roger Deakins himself said that🔥
i was surprised he picked that prison scene from the batman out of all the amazing shots he had to choose from, but after hearing his explanation for it i understand where he’s coming from. the use of light in that scene and how the characters are effectively shrouded in it is done masterfully. i like how he mentioned the difference between that scene vs other ones in the prison as well. very cool to hear his perception on different scenes in the same building.
Greig Fraser and Steve Yedlin's work using digital has been truly inspirational for the medium.
Brick has some of my favorite indie film cinematography I've ever seen
Love hearing these best shot takes from the cinematographer as opposed to the director. In the end, its Fraser capturing these awesome moments. Would be great to hear from more cinematographers on this channel.
The Batman best work for him in my opinion 🙌
Love the Magnolia shoutout. One of my favorite films ever and that final sequence brings me to tears everytime!
This man is so versatile. His assistants must be so lucky to be learning from a master of the trade!
MAGNOLIA!!!! A man with taste
Note to self, hire Greig Fraser for my first film...
The Vader scene as it pans after the end of the planet, then it’s the dark hallway into the final scene, incredible! Top 3
Movie moments of all time in the theaters for me
I need to watch more of this man's movies
That Vader scene is absolutely on par with any in the original trilogy, just an essential part of Star Wars history
The final scene of Rogue One is one of the most intense and exciting scenes I've ever watched. As a life long StarWars Fan who was seriously let down by the new Trilogy that scene (and the whole movie) soothes my fan girl heart and still affects me every time I watch it!
I think it's the most wretched fan service pandering I have ever seen in a movie
@@KABOBkabob well, consider this fan 🙋♀️serviced
@@bodojohnson gobbless
I wasn’t let down at all as a life long fan… which isn’t really true, you can’t really be a “life long” fan as you spend a good amount of years not having watched any film let alone SW.
@@KABOBkabob At least this one was...good. Most fan service is utterly insulting and lacks any amount of substance or quality (especially in SW). But that scene, in a vacuum, might honestly be the best scene in ANY sw film
Loving these videos, so insightful and inspiring 👍
His favourite shot from batman is my least favourite scene. Also his work on Foxcatcher is also stellar!
Small correction. The photovoltaic radiators are just the ones further out on either side of the truss. As the name implies, they reject heat from the photovoltaic systems (solar arrays).
The photovoltaic radiators system is distinct from the standard radiators that reject heat from equipment internal to the space station such as this networking array.
Props to Clint and the editing team for keeping the attention on Greig Fraser. Good interview!
Fantastic commentary, loved it! Thank you
There are not many Magnolia top pickers out there, but we have this strange religion of finding one another without controling the circumstances.
Absolute legend
This is why rogue one is the only Disney sw movie with breathtaking cinematography
Magnolia was the film that really kick-started my love of filmmaking, especially cinematography. So it's especially exciting to hear that such a talented cinematographer loves it too.
Out of a lifetime of movie watching, I can only name one cinematographer. Greig Fraser.
Well I can confidently say that the rogue one Vader shot has become iconic, I would argue the most iconic shot of Vader
One of my all time favourite DP's, incredible eye!
I think the Darth Vader scene is Rogue One is better than the original
I agree. Not an iconic Darth Vader scene, for me it is THE iconic Darth Vader scene. The only scene in any SW movie where I understood the fear.
@@michaelpigue5272 totally - I saw it on IMAX, and I don't think I've ever been so blown away by a moment in film - the revelation that DV is essentially a horror movie slasher - also the terror of the guys bravely facing him, and making the ultimate sacrifice to get the plans out of that airlock is really moving. As great as OG star wars is, the DV entrance is pretty wooden, guys get blasted, but it doesn't really have stakes in the same way, it's fantasy, this scene made it feel more real, and all the more gripping and scary as a result. DV is like Jason Vorhees!
Absolutely..…. You really felt Vader menace in that scene. Whereas in the others he always stopped short of true villainy.
He's amazing. Great video. We need a top 10 most beautiful black and white movies list and a part two to greatest scenes of all time. First one is great but its 8 years old and there's been some amazing movies the last decade.
I love how the people that are at the top of their field, totally downplay their achievements and instead love something that inspired them to do what they do
Funny because all these scenes he was in are actually my favorite
Love My Best Shots!
I wonder what his favorite shot from 'Vice' will be
The Batman sequel is gunna be incredible.
One of the best DPs ever currently or otherwise
A real shame not to have him pick a shot from Bright Star, Let Me In and Killing Them Softly. Some of his best work is in those films.
Vader is iconic but I'd never noticed it that first scene he stops and stands like a mum, hands on hips
Haha yes “what’s going on here!”
No "Killing Them Softly" ?... Too bad, for me it's his best work yet
So incredible shots he has in The Batman and he chose that one??? Weird Guy 😬🙃😅
The Vader scene might seem kind of an obvious choice, but it's weirdly vindicating to hear the cinematographer himself say "yeah that scene is technically as impressive as it is just simply cool"
when did jazz become the genre most clearly associated with film fandom?
I don't mean movies that feature jazz music. but I noticed almost every cinema related video on youtube or reports, documentaries about filmmaking or film festivals uses jazz in the background.
There's an indisputable correlation between Occidental film and jazz. Their history and maturation, the same periods of great revolutionary expressions and renovation, the experimenting with new uses of time, rhythm and layers, the way different elements come together...
There's much more, but you catch my drift.
@@roel.vinckens that's a documentary I'd watch! I must say while I didn't mind it at first, as a musician myself I would appreciate more variety. it has reached a point where it just sounds very "film school elitist" to me^^
@@frankunodostres473
I hear you. If we look at the last 4 or even 5 decennia other music becomes closer to cinema. Philip Glass, Wim Mertens, Ryuichi Sakamoto and more recently Jonny Greenwood just to name a few. But where jazz had time to become accessible and even mainstream, these newer movements, as beautiful and effective as they are, are not yet part of the common cultural sense. What would your choice of music be for film fandom? What's your personal musical background?
@@roel.vinckens definitely good points! I think what I associate with film nowadays are modern orchestral scores. the likes of zimmer, giacchino or the many great japanese film composers created numerous great pieces that could be used instead of a generic jazz song imo for a better effect.
it would add a sense of epicness, wonder and "sturm und drang" which is how cinema should be viewed rather than the feel of an "adult conversation between intellectuals" :D
as for my musical background, it is a lot of things at once but everything can be found within the umbrella of metal. and while I know it does take effort to find a way past the stigma, let me tell you you won't find more musical diversity in any other genre. especially in progressive metal you can find every sound or style you can imagine. some artists managed to sound very "cinematic" over the years such as wilderun, opeth, leprous, karnivool, between the buried and me or ne obliviscaris. let's not forget trent reznor tried to get into film composing and he did pretty well^^ it's not too outlandish of an idea.
@@frankunodostres473
I'm a big fan of the use of music by David Lynch, so no worries. Also, the first 3 albums of Heilung have some very decent soundscapes that can be experienced as movies...
aussie aussie oi oi
Im first!!!
God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus longs to be with you and he is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great cinematographer
But I wasn't much into his work in THE BATMAN
Care to elaborate? Videos like this are meant to analyze and celebrate artists' achievements and skills, but comments like this only push negativity without anything to back them
@@TraeBeneck He made the movie look too dark and textured for its own good
@@Zombiesnyder13 I'd argue the darkness and grit was exactly what made Gotham feel like Gotham. It felt like it made the world feel loved in and truly crime-ridden, where the viewer is just as lost as the protagonist. Fraser talks about how this specifically worked for his vision, so it's not like it was a careless choice. Obviously it's not everyone's cup of tea but at least he made creative choices instead of sticking to the status quo
@@TraeBeneck I can't tell a cinematographer to not use his signature style
I would use a different cinematographer, like Michael Seresin, considering Reeves worked with him in Planet of the Apes
It's clean, sharp, and would still fit perfecty with the world of Gotham city
God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus longs to be with you and he is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out.
Prove all of this.
🙄
I wonder who is Jesus most liked cinematographer
Jesus doesn’t have an Oscar for cinematography .
The Batman is Quite Possibly Thus Far the Closest Film Ever to Transcendental Perfectionism Without Quite Getting There.
🎨❤️🔥🤏
Imagine if one day Fraser gets to work with Nolan. That movie would be EPIC.
Idk if it would be particularly amazing because Nolan movies are more naturalistic and less focused on precise composition and lighting setups. His movies look great I don’t think he sets up cinematographers to be the star of the show.
