Cinematography Style: Darius Khondji
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- Darius Khondji is a cinematographer who is able to adapt images into almost any form to mimic the style of whichever director he works with, while subtly mixing in some of his own photographic traits. In this episode of cinematography style I’ll break down the work of Khondji by examining his philosophy on photography as well as some of the gear which he uses to execute these ideas.

Darius Khondji is such an amazing cinematographer and underrated in my opinion.
@House Of Fleapit No, he's incredibly well known.
lmfao every cinematographer is underrated because we’re the only type of nerds that care about stuff like this everyone else only looks at the movie at surface level
@@underwaterthunderchoppa9922 true 😔
Man, nobody even rates cinematographers, if we're talking about your average movie watcher, or even someone with a bit more knowledge.
On the other hand, those who know cinematographers know and appreciate him as well.
Thanks to Mr. Khojandi, an experienced and innovative artist .👍🌹🍀
Darius is shooting the new Alejandro Iñárritu movie, Limbo. I'm so excited for that mexican movie.
I can't wait to see it. So excited too.
Yes great cinematographer. Thank you, please do janusz kaminski next.
And Dariusz Wolski.
This was right on time. I just listened to the A24 podcast with Benny and Josh Safdie talking to Paul Thomas Anderson about Darius.
Yes! Wacky man.
That sounds cool. I'll have to listen to that!
Me too man!
How he came up with the look for Se7en,which you just barely touched on, is almost worthy of an entire video in itself . He did subject that film to a variation of the silver retention technique, and in fact only a small number of master prints of that film were released in that fashion. It's my understanding that all the various VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the picture have been successful to varying degrees in duplicating the look he and Fincher wanted for the film.
Interesting. Yes, there's so much about the making of Se7en that can be discussed. Maybe I'll make a separate video on it one day.
Darius Khondji is one of the greatest cinematographers of all time. Love his work.
In addition, I know that for Se7en he 'pushed' the film by what he claimed was one f-stop i.e. underexposing the negative one stop below what he had decided to lens the picture at, and then having it overdeveloped by one stop in the film lab to compensate. But in so doing he gave the film a subtly different look then it would have had if he hadn't bothered with that process.
He also used a lot of smoke, at least for interior scenes, to reduce contrast and add to the ambience, and the Panaflasher, to reduce contrast and bring out details in shadow areas.
Darius Khondji is probably my favourite cinematographer. His frames are always perfectly balanced and the look of his work changes with each story. A lot of cinematographers use the same tricks over and over. Khondji is constantly evolving and changing.
YES!!!! Been waiting for this one!
As always, a great video with lots of fascinating information
I also really like what Darius Khondji has done on "Too old to die young". Thank you for this great video !
Best informative cine channel on CZcams
Would love to see a Cinematography Style: on Jean-Yves Escoffier!!!
Thank you . You are doing such a great work! another great video!!
Great video man! Interesting and informative throughout. Thanks!
What a chameleon of a cinematographer!
I never would've noticed his name from those movies because of how fully he blends into the sensibilities of the directors he works with.
Thanks for this video! And I personally thought the intro wasn't that big of a conceptual stretch / parallel to the work of this person.
You should do a video on how Steven Soderbergh shot Traffic. For that matter, make a video on directors who are their own cinematographers--Soderbergh, Peter Hyams, Tony Kaye, et al. And how those filmmakers' work is impacted by them wearing the two hats.
Amazing video that is extremely well researched. Keep up the good work.
Great video. I just enjoy watching movies, and videos like yours makes me re-watch movies and enjoy them even more
This is awesome, you really deserve more views!!!
Amazing analysis as always, thanks for sharing :)
Always great lessons. Really appreciate your work.
He also spoke about Fincher with Seven about what to take that scary tone from, they both watched Klute in pre-production and decided that would be their model to draw from, it wasn't just a tone from how Fincher said scary. At least that's what Khondji said in his book.
What’s Darius Khondji book called?
Great way to start my day! Awesome Video!
As said before, I would love to see you do videos on Jeff Cronenweth and Dante Spinotti next. Two other DPs I'd also love to see you cover are Adam Greenberg and Adrian Biddle.
Waited so long ❤️✨
A fascinating video with a lot of potential that I think you should do is How Does a DP and a Director Collaborate with a Production Designer.
It’s something I’ve been researching myself a fair bit
Would love to hear some examples of how the interactions go
A great cinematographer. One of the best of his generation. He sounds like a directors dream, searching for that key phrase to translate the directors vision to the screen. I can only wish to work with a director like him one day.
A pleasure as always
Superb video! Khondji is one of the best DPs in the business. He should have won the Oscar for his work on Se7en. Screw John Toll and Braveheart!
Amazing informative video pls continue
great content!
Do next Seamus Mcgarvey
Amazing video
Thank you so much
I'm surprised you didn't mention his work on several episodes of Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Too Old to Die Young', truly some of the most inventive and striking cinematography I've seen, and the best I've yet seen in a mini-series. Give it a look if you like Refn's recent, slow stuff since Drive.
Fantastic!
In my opinion, se7en is probably the most visually impressive film iv ever seen in my entire life. The contrast and deep primary colors in this film, that silver sheen and simultaneous soft and sharpness in the highlights … stroke of genius
Tie between Khondji and Robby Mueller as being my favorite DP.
Another great video. You have to make one on Stanley Kubricks cinematography 🙏🏽
Thanks man. It worths more than a million to me 👍👍
Excellent
Thanks for video 👍👍👍
The way he approaches a shoot is so reminiscent of how Hans Zimmer approaches a score. Amazing.
he also shot the beach, Irrational Man, Okja!
Great informational video. Thsnk CZcams!
FINALLY, amaaaaazing 😍 please please do Conrad L Hall next. He is the greatest cinematographer of all time!
amazing
excellent
Thanks you very much good sir
best channel
super kwaai!!
🔥🔥
A+
I would have never guessed that Se7en and Uncut Gems had the same Cinematograph.
You should do a video on Jess Hall
Please make one for Dan Launsten
Wow! Who needs film school after seeing these episodes.
Sir great video please make video on subrata mitra Indian cinematographer
Could you do one on Rodrigo Prieto?
Nice video! Kinda of a shame that you didn't deeply analyze his lighting style tho, which at the end of the day, it's what defines the visual style of a cinematographer. Btw, he use a lot of dark blue in the shadows combined with warm-yellow light at the background and with little green details in the higlights.
He’s like the cinematographer equivalent of musicians that can play every instrument
Does anyone have the ebook 'new cinematographers' by alexander ballinger?
You're Adam Mackay of making videos on cinema!
Your videos are based on understanding of the medium, which I applaud. But you're always in the mood of mocking someone before making your point.
I like❤
Can you please make a video about Robert Richardson
you're dope/ I love your videos
Can videos of this type be monitized? Is there any problem of copyrights with such videos? Please answer i deliberately want to know it
Linus Sandgren next please!
He's filming on México City
the bird is in the tribute of panem
Please do Mario Bava! One of a kind cinematographer/director.
Preston Light Ranger 2 for film cameras is basically an inferior version of the AF systems from camera comapnies such as Sony, FujiFilm, Canon etc.
Hope the YT algorithm shows some love to the Channel
Commenting for the algorithm
Chung Chung-hoon!
The world is going to go with or without Darius Khondji. As a film maker, he maybe benefited if he accepts newer formats. The reason behind could be asserted to "more and more gravitated towards the younger audiences and the industry as a whole needs to pander to "their" needs than oldfart's vision that is dying down.
I’m confused. He’s very much on board with new digital cameras. He’s even the one who convinced PTA to use the Alexa on some shots in Anima.
Khondji must be the best cinematographer since Jordan Cronenweth or Gordon Willis.
FIRST!!!
And now Iñárritu
heres a guy who does every movie different.. first of all seven is amazing.. but then that directors movies usually always have that look.. but why? hes not the cinematographer... i guess the director really does have control over the look..
1:12 is that Silicon Valley Zach Woods?
Robby Müller Robby Müller Robby Müller Robby Müller please!
Can you please do Bill Pope and Linus Sandgren
