Question: How do you choose lenses as a beginner? If you already have some experience, I reckon you might have worked with different lenses and sort out some of your favorites, but if you haven't, then how do you choose? Loved the vid btw, those kinds of videos are my favorites because they teach and bring real examples right away. Keep on doing that: )

Great video, great film and a fascinating insight. I always wondered how the idea to dim the lights in the elevator scene came to be. That said, I'm shocked you never noticed the shot with the framed mirror/family photo/Driver silhouette. It's one of the best shots in the film! I'll let you off for making this though. Great job.

I am always looking forward to these cinematography and lighting breakdowns. As a self taught DP, I am always looking for inspiration. Today I watched the Coen Brothers', The Man Who Wasn't There, shot my Roger Deakins. Excellent film and cinematography that always pulled you into the story without drawing attention to itself.

The kissing scene before he kills the assasin may be he knew he was seeing her for the last time and he had to kiss her it felt more like a goodbye kiss coz he knew once he kill infront of her it will be over, he had to make a choice of saving her life with the act of lossing her and he choose to save her.

Still my favourite film to this day. It's my definition of a perfect film. That light shift in the elevator gives me goosebumps every. time. Ugh, Thank you Tom Sigel, and thank you Indy Mogul for this one. I'll be rewatching it many, many more times!

Skarrse,
Honestly never realized that this was an indie production I guess because of Ry Goose. Makes me love it even more. It brings such a great style and feel without being overly stylized like the Matrix (which works for that of course.

Just a minute into the video there is already misinformation. Bronson was 2008 not 2018. Not to crap on this video or Indy Mogul but just an example of how there are so many errors out there on the internet whether intended or not.

imagine talking about how beautiful the meaning on the scene is and then tom cuts you off to say yes, but you see the lights hitting her cheek. That man loves his lighting composition.

At 2: 34 Mr Newton says he never needed the Master Primes, but at 2: 11 you can clearly see the lenses in use are Master Primes. Maybe a few MP shots snuck into the movie?

Drive is such a beautiful movie.
Hey Ted when interviewing other cinematographers can you ask them what other cinematographers or movie they enjoy?

Always a deep learning experiences with these breakdowns! The one around a year ago with Matti Hapooja was also super inspiring.

Man, I could watch him break down every shot of the movie and I wouldn't get bored. Fantastic work, both Thomas and Ted: )
