Bob Yeoman is a cinematographer and a bit of a chameleon. He’s shot movies for directors like Gus Van Sant, Kevin Smith, and Roman Coppola. But his most consistent and well-known collaboration over the last three decades has been with Wes Anderson. Starting with Anderson’s first film Bottle Rocket, Yeoman has shot every live action film for the auteur since. In this video, Bob Yeoman walks us through his approach to cinematography in general and how Wes Anderson shoots movies specifically.
For The Grand Budapest Hotel, Yeoman discusses how the main hotel set was able to be mostly lit with practical lights, allowing them to blaze through scenes. He also recalls a moment of precise and precarious camera operating on top of a 5-story platform in the middle of the hotel. The scene called for him to whip pan between multiple characters and positions during a gunfight but found himself struggling to hit each position accurately without shaking the platform. His solution was to mount a laser pointer on the camera pointing down at marks he made on the floor.
For camera lenses, Yeoman explains how they would use mostly a single focal length on the early Wes Anderson movies like Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. For Moonrise Kingdom, he admits that even though the zoom lenses they used tended to lack the definition of the prime lenses, he was outvoted by Anderson. Bob Yeoman also relates how his transition to more digital filmmaking has been facilitated by LED film lighting. He explains how the flexibility of Skypanels have still given him the cinematic lighting he’s looking for.
Wes Anderson cinematography is a defining characteristic of Wes Anderson movies. Even Anderson’s stop-motion movies shot by Tristan Oliver bear his signature look. But the contributions of cinematographer Bob Yeoman cannot be understated.

THis is why i love studio binder, STRAIGHT FRIM THE SOURCE
If by source, you mean the Team Deakins podcast, then yeah.
DaCarnival Exactly. Pretty shifty, surreptitious grab. I recognized the interview immediately.
👍🔥💯
@@leoquesto9183 As if they didn't mention it in the description 🤡
V B V B They "listed" a link to their podcast but did not state clearly that this content belongs to Team Deakins. A vague, arbitrary sort of CYA in the description is not attribution. Details, the stuff differences are made of. On that note, the monetization from this and perhaps the bulk of StudioBinder's videos should be redirected to the actual content creators not SB, initials which should be switched.
These filmmaking videos contain more useful facts-per-minute than any others I’ve seen. Consistently enjoyable excellence.
Appreciate the feedback!
That's a given when you take an interview granted to Team Deakins, that is, by Bob Yeoman to Roger and James Deakins on their podcast, and then port it over to your own unrelated monetized channel as if it was your own content. You can get all kinds of great content if you just take it, apparently.
Seriously @studiobinder your every video brings energy again in exhausted mind & keeps us reminding how technically beautiful Filmmaking is ❤
It's a great reminder for us too :)
If anyone wants more of these cinematographer knowledge, I suggest Roger Deakin's podcast: Team Deakins
Definitely, link to his podcast is in the description!
Yes I am learning
That's the goal! 👍

Go StudioBinder!!! Go StudioBinder!!!
We go together!
Any cinematography and lightning videos, the best technique to pack lots of information within 10mins is to use examples of a couple of Wes Anderson films and then wohoo! All you ever wanted to know, from a couple of scenes from the auteur.
That's the goal!
i love it! thank you
Thanks for watching!
I love this channel.
We love our viewers ❤
Thank you again.
Hope it helps :)

I love you studiobinder 🏳️🌈
I'm still waiting for that camera lenses eBook vol 2 🥺
Thanks for the notice!
Nice
Great!
Ame el video
Thanks for watching!
LOVE these master classes straight from the source. Now if I could just find a buyer for one of my kidneys so I could afford Aputure lights and then I'll be a real boy with real lights.
I don't think those lights are worth it 😅
@@StudioBinder Seems all the ‘professionals’ use them! 😛😛😛😛
Listen to the podcast this is taken from, which is Roger Deakins' TeamDeakins, and your quest for specific brands of lighting will be shortened by a mile because Roger talks often about how he used practicals and natural light to light a lot of scenes (and still does at times). Utilizing off-the-shelf practicals is exactly how he worked in his early documentary days.
Get as strong as u can spot light. Everything else u achieve with diffusion or bounce. U need power to have enough of it go through diff. Thats all. Good luck.

Was that Rodger Deakins interviewing him?
Yup, on Deakin's podcast!
@@StudioBinder
RD has a podcast? I'm on it 💨💨💨
Wesley John Delaney Yes, Roger Deakins and his wife James Deakins have a podcast. That's where Studio Binder takes a lot of their content. On this one, 100% of the audio content after the introduction. See TeamDeakins podcast.
@@leoquesto9183 I'm deep in the rabbit hole already haha thanks
Next up: one video about Emmanuel Lubezki. PLEASE
Thanks for the suggestion!
As soon as he appears on Team Deakins' podcast, StudioBinder will have content to take and re-appropriate for that video, too.
Roger Deakins' podcast
Yup, link is in description!
เข้ามาชมนะครับ
Thanks for watching!
Whats the first music that comes on and is it copyrighted for youtube content
"Mr. Moustafa" (GBH Score) - Alexandre Desplat, it's part of the The Grand Budapest Hotel soundtrack!
How about different types of edits in next videos😉
We have a video on the different types of match cuts you would love! czcams.com/video/ptXlYulVAsM/video.html&pp=sAQA
Hey StudioBinder I want to ask you something, how you get rid of copyright of tracks you use.
Not sure if they earn from the content...if you tell youtube you're not monetising they'll overlook the claim if the owner doesn't say you take it down.
It's fair use because it's educational
dreamy
Hope you liked it!
"Yeoman!!! what's your name ?"
😂
Stop being so awesome StudioBinder.
Sorry not really, please keep it up.
We're not going anywhere 😊
I come back here again and again only for him to introducing himself.
do larry fong!
Thanks for the suggestion!

SAM MENDES Directing Style
Thanks for the suggestion! We have a video on how he and Deakins did the "Oner" for 1917! czcams.com/video/7uwjS7d4ntA/video.html&pp=sAQA
I don't understand why wouldn't you guys mention that the source of the Audio is Team Deakins Podcast.
It's in the description with a link.
@@DeadRingerVideo it's not enough. That doesn't give Team Deakins recognition. That's just the bare minimum for this to be legal.
We do in the beginning of the video!
Not using zeiss prime is what makes wes a great director...these small decisions makes a movie great
A precise, great sense of direction for the film is key 👌
if Mr. Yeoman wanted sharpness on moonrise kingdom, why shoot in 16mm to begin with?
Jeff Cronenweth
Darius Khondji
Thanks for the suggestion!
Don't worry. TeamDeakins recently interviewed Darius Khondji on their podcast so it's just a matter of days before StudioBinders turns that podcast into one of their videos. It's the Internet, apparently everything is free. @teamdeakins
shows a bunch of brilliantly lit scenes from wes anderson movies..
then shows a clip from Ghost Busters 2016... lmao
His voice sounds like Donald Trump's lol
Never thought of that 😅
Wow. Without the TeamDeakins podcast StudioBinder would have no content here. Unbelievable. Just take whatever you want, apparently, appropriate at will. @teamdeakins
They're a great source, hope the info was helpful!
StudioBinder Since your channel is monetized, you should show Team Deakins that you appreciate that they make your videos possible, that you appreciate them as a 'resource', and maybe kick the monetization over to them.
@@leoquesto9183 Our videos are not monetized! We don't run any ads
StudioBinder Oh, it's primarily a problem of attribution, then.
