JDMvW Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think most people here are aware that Kubrick was a well-known still shooter before he took up movie making. There are some nice examples at LINK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norma Desmond Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 These photos are eminently cinematic and well worth studying for how to infuse still photos with movement, style, gesture, expression, narrative and so many qualities that give life to photos. I recommend two of his early movies, along with his more well known later ones, The Killing (1956) and Paths of Glory (1957), which is one of the greats. Thanks for the link. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've been a Kubrick fan from his early films. 2001 is my favorite still, but like the critics (including King himself who didn't like it at first) I've come to appreciate the Shining. A while back at Yellowstone Park I checked into the hotel and was given a key to room 237. I asked, isn't that the... and the clerk said "yes"... I did a post once here on cameras in Kubrick (LINK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred, I totally agree with your assessment. I've carefully looked at all of them and, if forced to pick a favorite, it would be "Peter Arno... Sophisticated Cartoonist." It's crystal clear from his expression that Arno's playing the piano was a diversion from his work and a joy. Thanks, JDM, for posting this thread. I was totally unaware beforehand that Kubrick did still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 It is well worth checking out Peter Arno's cartoons. Many are timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_eaton5 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Kubrick was meticulous on terms of cinematic framing and how he worked the elements of a scene to his vision. He preferred to have the camera and actors tell the story and not his editor either. Drove a lot of his actors nuts with retakes, but he was a perfectionist. I knew he was a photohrapher, but first time I've seen his work. His framing with still work matches his cinematic work, and it's all superb.

scott_eaton5 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Tarkovsky's works are a pain to get in terms of good transfers. Its a real crime. The slit screen stargate sequence and expressway sequence from Solaris side by side. Would have never though of that. Excellent video - thank you.

ruslan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I got to know he was a photographer well, 10-12 years ago. Good works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
