Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 1999 — Janusz Kamiński, ASC Saving Private Ryan (1998) Directed by Steven Spielberg Aspect Ratio: 1.85 : 1

“Steven and I really didn't want to shoot Private Ryan in black-and-white, and I think it would have been a little pretentious to do another World War II film that way. [...] We also wanted to shoot this picture in color because there is some blood in the film and we wanted to play with the reds, even though we did desaturate the colors. [...] I knew the movie would have more of a bluish tone to it, and the color of the blood on the uniforms and the ground was a primary concern. Because we were dealing with a World War II drama, the wardrobe was already muted, and since we were shooting in England and Ireland, we had day after day of foggy, rainy climate, which automatically made the light more diffused and the colors more pastel. We therefore compared various levels of ENR, and based on those tests, the special effects department mixed a certain amount of blue into the blood to make it a bit darker than they normally use.” — Janusz Kamiński for American Cinematographer, August 1998

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

90% of being good at ANYTHING

is the ability to not quit when you're not instantly good at it. And the ability to be BAD at something where other people might SEE.

Talent counts for jack all if you're attacking yourself the moment you start for not being perfect and then quitting to punish yourself.
