It reminds me of post-Impressionist Pierre | Bonnard. | markandrewj wrote: | Some of his early films would have been made just as color | films were becoming normal. I have a feeling he always had a | strong sense of color, but was limited by tools which were | available to him at the time. | the_af wrote: | Agreed about his early black-and-white work, but I'm also | familiar enough with his masterful use of color in films like | "Ran" and "Kagemusha" that this doesn't surprise me. Kurosawa | really was a genius. | | The YouTube channel Every Frame a Painting has an entire | episode dedicated to Kurosawa's use of motion in his films. | It's fascinating. I have to say that frames from even his | earlier films look like paintings to me. | wodenokoto wrote: | That looks more like concept art than story board | jmkb wrote: | Also really enjoyed Satyajit Ray's storyboards for the Apu | Trilogy. Sketchier than Kurasawa's, but thrilling nonetheless and | greatly increasing the pleasure of watching or rewatching the | films. | | Unfortuately I can't can't seem to find them online aside from a | few thumbnails. They were published in book form a few years ago; | maybe that's why. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-06-05 23:00 UTC)
