Mark Norman Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Paul Thomas Anderson (Dir) and Robert Elswit (DoP) crafted some nearly transcendent shots in Magnolia (1999). Below are some DVD screen caps of my favorite shots. Any insight into these shots by professional cinematographers will be greatly appreciated.

Jason Maeda Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I really enjoy his films as well. that camera pushing in on details and back out during lateral moves following the action is ripped right out of scorsese! scorcese? how do you spell that? jk :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kukla Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Why don't we just talk about the movie and bring up relevant stills as needed to illustrate detailed points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Norman Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Why don't we just talk about the movie and bring up relevant stills as needed to illustrate detailed points? That is a good idea, Jon. Below are the shots I am most interested in and specific questions I have about them. Are there any other movies that include water dripping onto the camera? What is causing the light from the flashlight to cascade? Is there a name for this blurring effect seen mostly on the bottom left? How is this effect created? How difficult would this shot be to set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Norman Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Could a moderator please delete post #5 in this thread, and then this post? I am still seeking responses and the thread is kind of messy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
