It's probably hyperbole. I doubt any Bond movie will ever look better than Skyfall did. I'm sure NTTD will still look fantastic, though. I can't wait to see some real footage!
I often return to CR and QOS just for their colourful palette.
I hope they manage to squeeze some shots from the DB5 chase in there :)
Are they a car down on that one?
I hope some of these videos are different people filming the same take, otherwise they're going to be shooting that little scene forever!
QoS, yes. CR no.
QoS has some lovely shots amongst the edited mess.
The use of colour throughout Quantum is gorgeous. The palette can be described as "scorched Earth", with the warm and fiery tones throughout providing a nice contrast to the cold London scenes.
I think that Sandgren will likely push NTTD closer to Quantum in terms of colour and texture than either of Craig's last two films.
And that's a good thing, I think.
@Zekidk Don't know anything about roofs but street chase shoots until 30 aug. Details here in italian (use translate), right column:

Guess they will update with new dates/locations, sets, etc, this weekend.
Speak about the devil. Fresh article at sasslive.it

The provision provides in particular:

The means used by the production company for filming are excluded from this provision."

Yes, they are going to the roofs.
CR has a great palette and some excellent cinematography. No doubt, QoS does too but it often strays into perfume ad territory for me. When story and cinematography combine well it can give a scene a sense of weight, unlike, for example, perfume ads which are beautiful to look at but pretty vapid. This is where QoS lands most of the time for me and SP suffers from a similar fate in that regard, where some of the framing and composition is genuinely stunning but it’s underpinned by a sense of lifelessness and/or lack of narrative impact. Basically, capturing ‘pretty pictures’ is one facet.
Very well put. All true. Let’s hope they have a multifaceted beast on their hands.
Makes me optimistic that this will look good on screen!
Camera racing car.. sort of:
I look forward to having that same experience with the Jamaican setting in NTTD.
Just after they film the slidey bit around the bonfire a few more thousand times :)
I love me some CR, but the "look" of the film is not something I latch on to at all. So much of it was shot in dark interiors. At the Ocean Club. At the Bodies exhibit. At the Hotel Splendide and in the casino. It's all very workman-like, and there's nothing wrong with that. Some of the Montenegro and Venice scenes are terrific, I'll admit. And then there is the beach scene with Bond in his trunks. But that composes little of the film. Generally, I find the art direction and cinematography in CR to be the weaker of the four in the DC era. But I don't really care: I love the film.
True. My favorite shot is this one:
All Bond movies are lensed great.
CR suffers from scenes with overblown highlights and skin that is too orange (I always prefer they stay on the skintone line). QoS is probably the most vibrant of all the Craig Bond movies and SF has the best composition, IMO (Deakins is a master at this).
Hear hear!
I colors of the Jamaica clip were marvellous. I can only pray the film will be on that level.
I love Deakins´ work on some other films, like BR 2049, or Sicario, but I´m not too overwhelmed by what he did with SF. Might be the connection with Mendes, but I also don´t like the single frames too much. I think Deakins is great, but he´s not the superhuman being he´s made into by some.
