This evening in Sanscolor study...

Jersey Girl (2004). Vilmos Zsigmond... director of photography

Interview Bonus:

Filmmaker: I heard you had a terrible time working with Kevin Smith on Jersey Girl.

Zsigmond: I wouldn’t say that I had a terrible time, he just wanted to shoot everything in close-ups. All those talking heads, that’s what he likes.

Filmmaker: When is it frustrating for you to work with a director?

Zsigmond: If the director doesn’t like long shots and doesn’t like establishing shots and everything is based on words and dialogue and he wants to play everything up in close-up and use it that way, that’s no fun for me. I really think a movie should be visual, if the visuals are not good then I’m not interested. If you play everything in close-ups than you might as well just read the book. If you really want to have dialogue and just talk, talk, talk, there is no reason to go to the movie theater.

Rest of Interview.

Today in Sanscolor study...

The Knick (s01e06) Start Calling Me Dad.  Peter Andrews (aka Steven Soderbergh) ... director of photography

Overhead Bonus: This sequence shows a cohesion between the two spaces in terms of the 180° line connecting both spaces visually and acting as a invisible track moving the actors spatially forward and to the right in the frame. This chain reaction of events is punctuated with ending almost on the line as the cocaine is revealed in the drawer.

Video Bonus: Here is an edited down version of the sequence. Enjoy.
