I dont have flash on this computer, so I cant check, but if I remember correctly, then the link in the first post of this thread was from that documentary. The documentary was shown on Arte a while ago.

Hey David, Tom, everybody,

I caught this Chris Doyle + Wong Kar-wai music video on YouTube.

If anyone knows where to buy a high quality copy, please let me know.

I think it was Werner Herzog who has a quote saying that a filmmaker can't help but reveal their soul through their work even if they try to disguise it. I really appreciate Chris's work, I find it mind opening and grounding.

Yes, the DJ Shadow music video. Very familiar...Mike?

Slight digression... I happened to glance at the member index bit at the bottom of the main page and saw that it's your birthday today, Bill. I hope you had a good one bro!

Look on the bright side, maybe in a couple year's time, you'll be in Chris Doyle's shoes, and we can comment on your hairstyle ;)

Talk about poetic justice.

Have been curious into what stock if at all Mr. Chris Doyle used on The Quiet American. It almost feels like digital grain, HD? THxs

It was definitely shot on film, I don't recall the stock -- Doyle was alternating between Kodak and Fuji back then, lately he has been shooting a lot of Fuji Eterna stocks, pull-processed. But I think "The Quiet American" was shot on hi-speed Kodak stock.

thanks. Hi-speed it is. And it fits perfectly with the tone of the story.

There's a great documentary that can be found on the internet called: Christopher Doyle: Stirred not Shaken. It's about an hour, and provides some really interesting insights into the man.

I've seen pretty much every documentary/interview in existence with him. I think he's an absolute genius. Most cinematographers I've noticed come from a predominantly technical standpoint (at least initially), and he was really the first to bring to light (along with Storaro) the importance of external influences (i.e. life, art outside of cinematography), as well as the importance of NOT conforming to normality for the sake of fitting in. Not that he isn't a technical genius, which as David Mullen has pointed out various times, he most certainly is (just watch Hero...).

Josell Ramos · June 11, 2010

Agreed. There's something about how organic elements bind with story synthetics in films i've seen by Mr. Chris Doyle. The outcome is intrigue in what we the audience witness as story unfolds. Respect.

You know, I was watching 2046 today (realized I have had it for ages!) and I really loved his sense of framing (no look space, very unbalanced frames) as well as camera movements. There was an awesome overhead sex-scene shot with this slow, gentle twist left to right; phenomenal. I also had the great benefit of getting his book RGB (and whatever the numbers are, they escape me at the moment) very interesting read, for the images and the words.
