Tough run for The 86th Academy awards Best Cinematography Nominees. 2014 Cinematographer Nominees are: Bruno Delbonnel for "Inside Llewyn Davis", Philippe Le Sound for "The Grandmaster", Phedon Papamichael for "Nebraska", Roger A. Deakins for "Prisoners" and Emmanuel Lubezki for "Gravity"
My predictions for this year Best Cinematographer first pick, without no thoughts, "Gravity" Emmanuel Lubezki. Emmanuel really knows how to keep people excited and out of their chairs. "Gravity" was shot in a remarkable way; extraordinary style, very artistic and breath taking. The cinematography takes you into the character situation, You feel your in there next to Sandra Bullock. Mix of lighting is phenomenal. Since the film took place in out of space, the lighting was on point simulated. The right color temperature, with the blues (Cold mood), the yellows (warm mood) etc... Camera work is brilliant. Very detailed close ups and camera movements. I was amazed by the distinguished style of constantly continuing one-shot, long take through out the film. Some scenes become completely silence and all you see is the camera "one long-take" moving around in a slow pace. You feel the gravity and suddenly everything takeoff, the camera move fast into the action. My next pick is "The Grandmaster", Philippe Le Sound. Now this one gives "Gravity" Emmanuel Lubezki a run for his money. "The Grandmaster", Philippe Le Sound has a unique visual story telling technique. Watching this film, Philippe took me into an extreme rollercoaster ride. The dark dramatic mood lighting visualize in the story was awesome. Amazing camera movements and different glamour lighting situations. Enjoyable to watch.
I am happy for either or to take the Oscar.
