  • can someone answer this? why is what he talks about relevant? Other than visual poetry, I hardly find any significant purpose of shadows and mirrors and "fractured silhouettes".

  • @TheAustinicus awesome, thanks for that!

  • @jcarrig He means that they cut to the close-up of Jones, then as he starts to turn his head to look around the room, it cuts to his point-of-view (the reverse he's referring to) which is a pan across the room (what the camera move is called when it turns from left to right or vice-versa). He explains that they "cheated" the headlights by basically setting up two separate lamps that look as though they're the headlights from the car in order to get the distinct double silhouette you see.

  • what does he mean when he says "cut to the close up and you reverse and he pans the room and we cheated it so it's though that both the headlights hit his silhouette", I can see the effect, just not sure what the cheat/trick or "reverse" he refers to is

  • Love, love, love Roger Deakins.

  • the dissolve is so beautiful

  • A great opportunity to learn lighting and camera work from a master. Love to see the interview juxtaposed to the segment. Thanks for posting this!
