Hear about Roger Deakins from Blade Runner 2049

>Hear about Roger Deakins from Blade Runner 2049
>Look him up
>He's been a part of 10/10 movies for the last 30 years

How can he be so underrated?

He's only underrated if you're not paying attention.

Deakinsfags constantly wank over him. I bet they cant name another cinematographer outside of maybe Lubezki

>How did I become so uneducated and clueless

Fix'd that one FOR YOU

>Cinematographer
Explain why we shouldn’t credit the directors for everything he’s done

>Roger Deakins
He's the normies idea of a good cinematographer.

Give me a break, cinematographers are noting but glorified grips.

Okay, I'll bite. What's your idea of a good cinematographer?

don't

and grips are nothing but overrated best boys

>he just found out about him
>thinks he's underrated

R E D D I T

Because he explicitly works with all the directors on the making of the film long before the film is even in production.
Not just with Coens, for example he worked with Villeneuve for weeks on storyboards in a hotel for the new Blade Runner in preproduction and shaped the visuals of the film right with him.
It isn't like he just shows up on set and points the camera. These days he probably doesn't even operate the camera that much

glorified gaffers, if anything

Gregg Toland, Charles Lang, Lee Garmes, Stanley Cortez, Boris Kaufman, Karl Struss, Charles Roscher

He's literally the most well known cinematographer working today, besides Lubezki and Hoytema.
Sup Forums will now call him a meme, but I'm pretty sure that 95% of people who make absurd posts like that can't even name 3 other currently working cinematographers.

Ok, now explain why they're good but Roger Deakins isn't.

Man nurunner really is exposing how many cinemalets browse this board

don't

ZACK SNYDER!
NOLAN!
TARANTINO!

Working cinematographers lightyears better than Deakins, Doyle, and Lubezki

Lech Majewski, Tom Stern, Tilman Büttner, Stuart Dryburgh

dryburgh is absolutely nothing special

Climbing a rocky hillside on stilts seems like a tremendously bad idea.

Christorpher Doyle

Can't mister the pfister!!!!

Hi, roger

Navarro m8.

i actually have no idea who he is or what he's done. i just picked one of the names you listed and said he wasn't special.

that image isn't anything special though desu

You don't know what good cinematography is, but it's okay, most don't.

cinematography is a meme

No, it's a non-art. A craft
