BEWARE OF SPOILERS...for those of you who have never seen this classic movie. Kubrick was one of my biggest inspirations when I first picked up a camera, so it's great to dig deep into his amazing compositions. In this video you'll see tons of excellent compositions and learn how he created them. You'll also learn how the worked with colors, dynamic symmetry, and many other exciting things!
I make things to help visual artists reach the master level and you can find them below. Thanks so much for all of the continued support! It keeps the content flowing :D

You can't only admire Kubrick's unparalleled perfectionism and cinematic genius, you have to also admire his penchant for dark humour. Honestly, this movie is my favourite.
So true! Thanks for watching!
Kubrick's compositions and lighting are impeccable and a lot of this influence is owed to his favourite European directors like F.W. Murnau, Ingmar Bergman and in a *major* way Max Ophüls.
Besides innovating the reverse tracking shot, Ophüls was super meticulous about how he "dressed" his shots. A lot of carefully thought-out information is placed in the frame. With Kubrick it's even down to how colors of his actors costumes match whatever's in their surroundings and then how he color codes that in post.
Thanks for watching and sharing the info!
Great video on composition and the colour pallet used, I do love Stanley Kubrick's work, especially Clock Work Orange
I love Clockwork too🙌🏻
Great breakdown. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom in this subject. I bought one of your books and I am glad and I certainly consider you one of my teachers.
Thank you for the nice comment and support! I really appreciate it and I’m glad I can help your artistic journey!
Do "2001 An Space Odissey" as well
Ok I’ll add it to the list thanks!
Awesome breakdown Tavis. Love Kubrick - especially Clockwork Orange...
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Great video about composition!! Rarely I came across a breakdown so detailed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking out the video, glad you liked it!
Requesting The Secret life of Walter Mitty, please.
I think its a very underrated film!
Thanks for the suggestion, I added it to the list!
Mind just blown!! Each frame is a master piece.
Yes, I agree! Excellent movie!
in the film its speculated that green represents something super natural happening.
Interesting, I’ll keep my eye out for that!
pure gold, this video should be recommended by the algorithm.
Thanks I appreciate the support!
So much depth to Kubrick's movies! Great analysis thank you :)
I agree, thanks for watching!
Great! Love all of your contents!👌👌👏
Thank you for the support!
Oh shit….. around the 6 minute mark does everyone see that payphone?? Did she have access to communication other than the radio??
Wonderful work, Tavis! Kubrick was a great choice. Big thanks.
Thanks for the support!
4:20 My logic on why they dressed the set with more green and less red was to probably make the red stand out greater against a wash of neutral tones in a ‘less is more’ situation since Jack’s madness is mounting alongside audience anxiety.
I don’t think Kubrik was really harmonizing a color pallet, he focused far more (imo) on evoking emotion, whether its conscious to the viewer or not.
Would love to see you break down Dr Strangelove! 👏👏💯👌
Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice essay. Kubrick's sense of design was characteristically fastidious, particularly when he started working in colour. He gave at least one production designer a nervous breakdown (on Barry Lyndon -- possibly Roy walker, Art Director). Someone else who has an extraordinary sense of colour and design is David Lynch. Blue Velvet is an astonishing example of design (Lynch is a Kubrick fan, not surprisingly) in terms of colour and composition -- but then, most of his films are.
Thanks for the comment! I know what you mean about Kubrick. The behind the scenes documentary of the shining shows how Shelly Duvall has a breakdown working with him. I love Blue Velvet, but I’ll have to watch again for the color. Thanks!
That was super interesting, Tavis! Thank you!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Just found your videos and I’m learning so much!!! I would love to know how you feel about how LaLa Land was shot. I’m intrigued by their visual choices.
Glad you found the channel, thanks for the suggestion!
One primary characteristic of a well designed and photographed film is its TIMELESSNESS - the inability to visually categorize it into a particular decade in which it was produced. They can often pass as though they may have been shot in the current day, no matter when that might be. The Godfather 1 and 2, and Apocalypse Now don't look like '70's movies, and neither do Barry Lyndon or The Shining. Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago, though produced in the '60's, have a photographic quality that compares to the best of any following decade.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! All great movies!
Great video. Learned a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
👏👏👏
Thank you!👍🏼
Great video bro, make more breakdowns on videos compositions! And I didnt forget you told me you will make one about caravaggio.
And I loved both sound effects in 0:44, were did you get from? I feel like make a song with it
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! I’ve got Caravaggio on the list👍🏼 not sure about the sfx, but I think you can find something similar on CZcams if you search “UI sound effects.”
@@IPOXstudios thanks bro, I'll do it. It sounds like Gran Turismo's menu
Question. The cut outs for the a6400 what file should be used ? FedEx can print them but they say the file is SUPER big
The 2.95" grids are used for that camera and the sheets are ready to print. US size is 8.5x11 and Europe size is A4. They are high res jpeg files, so their machine might have to convert them to PDF for the printing process. Hope that helps.
Could you cover Aleksander Gierymski paintings?
Thanks for the suggestion I added it to the list!
@@IPOXstudios Thanks!
the green takes to much focus in 25:48. they should have lowered saturation or decreased bightness
There was no real computer graphics when they made the movie, that would be a photo probably and then they used both models and a sound stage for the hotel, which yes is not the same as the real one.
Thanks for watching and sharing the info!
A very interesting video, but the narrator needs a drama coach. His voice had me nodding off.
Thanks for watching anyway!
25:48 terrible chromatic abberation also the guy does not stand out against the sheets, it might be planned though
nope thats purple
