- Roger Deakins CBE, ASC, BSC, his wife James Deakins, and TRINITY operator Charlie Rizek discuss how they used ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, ARRI Signature Prime lenses, and TRINITY stabilization to achieve the real-time camerawork of Sam Mendes’ technically audacious war film “1917.”
- Krátké a kreslené filmy
I could watch Mr Deakins talk for hours about how he does what he does...
You might allready know but he and his wife have a podcast :)
@@SanderAM I found it a week ago and I'm loving every second of it!
@@SanderAM and it's a damn gold mine!
I always feel for the people who have to set up these Roger Deakins interviews.
It was fun!
I imagine he might gently suggest “maybe don’t put that light there, angle that one 15° over”
XD imagine the pressure. "Are sure? That's going to be your f-stop, oh gosh(sighs)".
You certainly wouldn't want to show up with a little handycam. Roger would probably look at the camera, then you, and say "Really?"
@@leer6871 No, he won't do it. He is kind and let others people work be the others people work and be happy.
This movie is a cinematic masterpiece. I hope someone makes a behind the scenes documentary on what it took to make this movie from start to finish.
JonFromUpstate it should also be a continuous one shot documentary :)
I thought it was a gimmick
Shot on an Alexa Mini LF! 😉
The 4K UHD (UK) and Blu Ray box contains a full length commentary from Roger Deakins and an excellent ‘making of’ reel.
Fun fact: Roger met his wife on the set of "Thunderheart" (1992) where he was DP and she a script and continuity supervisor. Over the years they've collaborated on such films as, "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "Kundun" (1997), "The Siege" (1998), "Prisoners" (2013), "Sicario" (2015), etc. On "1917" she functioned as a digital workflow consultant.
Wired Weird maybe earlier. I read they married in 1991
Couples that shoot together.
A powerful duo!
How do you know what she did in 1917?
When Roger is relaxed and just talking about what he loves, he's one of the most interesting men in the business. No bullshit, straight up master of his craft.
After watching the film I was sooo excited to hear what Roger had to say about it. This didn't disappoint. This man is a living legend
Hello James!! Great to discover you here mate!! You're a superstar as well
Huge credit to the grips, operators and technical crew on this film!
yea noone talks about that boom operator running after the shots. Well done with this movie
I believe they hit on it as it would be taken on and off the boom which moved fast as others waiting would pick it up. I thad to be several teams at times.
haha yeah that job is so fun to watch
Casually receiving 2 Alexa Mini LF prototypes in the mail. Being Roger Deakins definitely has its perks. Congrats on that Academy Award.
being best in the business you mean haha
Lets give a Shout Out to the Boom Operators for their AMAZING job in this movie (Sound guys). I’m not making a comparison, but it seems to me that they had a very difficult task even if Camera dept achieve what they need. So I raise my hat to them!
The one person who disliked this video is probably a CEO from Sony or Red
kashilembo wabu now their CFOs CTOs and COOs showed up
From RED no doubt. They have really started to fail, and their lies and scams (Mini Mag, Made in USA etc.) have only worsened their situation. Arri makes cine cameras, RED makes CZcamsr cameras xD
I thought Sony is a toy manufacturer.
Such an inspiring couple. Calm, clear minded, open. And the results are astonishing. Thank you for doing art, for creating. I wish all the good to you. Love from Switzerland.
I like how they just casually put the mini LF on the carpet
Roger Deakins willl always and forever be "The Master of Cinematography" true Legend!!
What about Lubezki, Conrad Hall, Kaminski, Richardson and many others?
*Ahem* Lubezki will always be better
@@angelgutierrez6317 nah, nothing of his comes even close to br49
What about Vittorio Storaro?
I'm just happy to be living in a time where I can watch something shot by this man...
Congrats to the master on his win! Such an immersive movie!
The legendary Roger Deakins with my favourite ARRI ALEXA MINI LF ❤. 1917 is such an amazing film both technically as well as the writing.
Damn, do you have an one hour version of this ?
That's the content we need on youtube, to help us understand what making a movie is about
Stay tuned, maybe we can work on a longer version. There are many more interesting statements...

Trinity is a beast. Mendes and Deakins created pure cinematic gold.
beautifully lit & graded interview, thanks for sharing
no pressure
Thanks for including James Deakins in this interview, such a brilliant lady
Thank you guys for making the most stunning piece of cinematography art I've ever seen.
Wow! Amazing to hear about and to see the behind the scenes of the cinematography, a well deserved Oscar! Congratulations Roger Deakins!!
Very Interesting Hearing Them Talk about this about all the methods and planning I could listen for ages and it wouldn't get boring Such a brilliantly executed Film
Roger is such a talented and humble cinematographer! Thanks for the share.
Excellent interview, very informative to know more about the technique behind this great movie. And thanks a lot for the French subtitles. Merci ❤
Just a great freaking video!! Small form factor really comes to light here and the size of the Alexa Mini will be come a standard!!
Thanks for sharing ARRI !
The way they were able to maneuver and hot-swap the rigs in real time is beyond amazing.
I love it that Deakins works with his wife!
This is a power couple my wife and I look up to! Roger and James talk in a way that makes everything seem deceivingly simple.
Lets take some time to appreciate Roger Deakins while he is here shall we. Thank you for inspiring us all. You have set the standard.
Can't forget the trinity operator as well.
Indeed
Excellent interview!!
Skyfall BR2049 & 1917 were beautiful cinematography of all time
Deakins is a master at cinematography!! Sicario, No Country for Old Men, Prisoners, and The Shawshank Redemption are brilliant as a result of his skill as well!
@@krismate2895 a legend
Cinematography of Mr Beans Holiday 2007 is overlooked 😉
Children of men too
@@krismate2895 don’t forget The Assassination of Jesse James 1 of the beatifulest movies ever
Ladies and gents. That’s a dream camera dept team that speaks with so much humility and love. A lesson to mortals like us to learn as much as we can from the wisdom of these people.
The hard work paid off. Superb film!
5:15 The Trinity looks amazing!
ARRI + Deakins =
Masterpiece
Every commercial should be this informative.
Yeah, I saw the movie and was like, "Holy crap! BEAUTIFUL video images, ALL IN ONE SHOT!" I kept watching for the breaks, "where will they cut so that they can move the camera in position?" The color grading was fantastic as well! And my dream camera, the ARRI Alexa, made that possible, due to its color sensitivity optimized for a more natural look. I would've loved to be involved in producing this film! And one note: the camera they talk about isn't exactly a tiny camera. My DSLR is small. A Canon C200 is small. The Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro (2nd gen) is small. The ARRI Alexa is definitely big. But yes, it's also smaller than other ARRI Alexa's and other cine cameras, but it's still big and requires a hefty steadicam rig to hold it.
Arri - thank you for sharing with us. Frankly you have a share in Oscar as well :). At least literally speaking and Roger shot a great movie! 40 min passed like one breath for me I glanced at a watch and was shocked. It was like childhood grandpa tale captivating soft and smooth.
Loved my Super 16 back in the early 80's , Arri always a class bit of kit.
A masterpiece, Deakins is one of the best of all times!
Really inspiring channel. Could already use a lot for stepping up my filmmaking game! Thx a lot :)
I've got goose bumps just watching this, can't wait to see the movie! :)
I could watch this video on repeat for my whole life
I could listen to Roger Deakins all day long.
excellent! loved hearing from james as well :)
He is just a master of his craft....amazing to get some insides of his work
Good interview! I always wondered if they used different lenses for different parts. :-)
Most interesting. Thank you 👍
Congrats to Roger....well deserved....The GOAT !!!
Waching this just a few hours after I saw the movie. Crazy effort to make this masterpiece.
The interesting fact that the company ARRI, makers of Arri Alexa the camera used to film '1917' was founded in Munich Germany in the year '1917'
Excellent.Thanks.
Why arri is so cool , well you can see the details of the eye in the interview 😋✌
omg! I can't even watch how amazing he is without crying. If I could only as a writer write something he might do. Sublime. just Sublime. nothing else I can say about the man.
It's always a pleasure, and a great learning experience, to hear Roger Deakins talk about his work. By the way, how do you learn about using the Alexa Mini LF? Are there any online docs or videos showing how to use it?
Isn't there a website where you can fiddle with the actual menu system of the camera ? Look it up 😉
arri.academy/large-format-course-mzed
Amazing content.
Watching this video with a smile
Congratulations, Roger! 1917 was a well deserved Oscar!
Arri is the best camera platform in the entire galaxy.
Thank you ARRI. ( a filmmaker)
focus pullers mustve had a nervous breakdown throughout the shoot
Wow...amazing listening to them
wish i will in my lifetime ATLEAST be in the same room as an ARRI camera
I Shot Blanks it’ll happen if you keep at it. This year was my first time shooting on an Arri and now I’ve used the mini and Amira a handful of times.
deakin would be proud of that window exposure
The beautiful stabilization is immense. ☕
This man is probably the single biggest force in cinema today.
Thanks arri
Inspiring!
Amazing... wow
This is gold! Outstanding! This video has 2 dislikes. Probably from RED and BLACKMAGIC...
Amazing amazing amazing 💙
An entire yt video shot on Arri cameraes🤤
I understand that the Arri lenses are amazing as well
It’s a masterpiece.
I wish to some day play a role in movie production. Coming from someone with a degree in audio engineering, something about cinematography is just so much more exciting
👍 great movement
Insane !
I hope Arri makes a camera for the prosumer market one day, like RED did with the Komodo😂
Was this interview shot on an Arri?
Something in me wanted more handheld action, but that transition would have been difficult.
glad that most movies have now made the switch to a 4k standard, if only they did it sooner for future proofing
this is cinema at his maximum potential
Soooooo cool !!!
Rodger Deakins is the best cinematographer of all time
That 7:47 celebration of the good work from the new young guy in the crew
Imagine being the guy setting up the camera and lighting for this interview. I would be shitting myself hahaha
Master discussing his masterpiece.
Wish I could assist such stalwart with magnificent Arri system.
Nothing comes close to the color space of Arri. 2k, 12 bit is beyond lovely.
dope
I didn't realize Deakin's wife was so involved in the film making.
ok now I want an Arri Alexa Mini LF rig on an Arri Trinity with an Arri Prime Master Anamorphic Lens
B-Roll left the earth
Deakins: hey ARRI, make me a camera.
ARRI: ok.
O_0
Funny how they filmed a Movie called "1917", with Arri Cameras, and Arri being actually founded in 1917 :D
Arri was founded in 1917, i was expecting something else. However, this is good.
ARRI and Deakins, name a better combination. I'll wait.
Roger and James.
Left eye and right eye........... for seeing the result of ARRI and Deakins ;)
