Production designer, Guy Hendrix Dyas, joins us once again to break down some of the greatest directors of all-time: Christopher Nolan, Stanley Kubrick, Ang Lee, and Spike Lee. We ask him what he thinks their trademark characteristics are and what art styles might have inspired their work. Guy also gives great advice to indie filmmakers about how they could achieve their own style and work their way up, even without the biggest budgets.

😂
As far as notable mentions, Michel Gondry comes to mind with his optical illusions and super practical style. Expressive, imaginative, and uses every tool he can for the story!
This was incredible.
Thanks man!
Please cover Denis Villeneuve, one of the best directors working today or ever.
Agreed!
I’d love a deep dive into the production design of David Fincher’s Zodiac. The attention to detail in all of his work always blows my mind.
Man, Guy Hendrix Dyas shared such fascinating insight and thoughts on the subject! Really enjoyed this one guys! Terrific work, loved this!!
Thanks, this video is great. It’s great for me to hear who inspired these big names, and to see the pictures and paintings with the names and dates of the authors. Great job! Thanks again!
Just wanted to thank you for your videos, we've been working hard on improving the quality of our recordings (especially at night like with our last video) by following your advice. There's a lot you can do with just a good webcam and some lighting!
Such great videos! Some of this is common knowledge but your presentation and interviews are always add extra layers of analysis and have meaningful, coherent messages to the audience.
Thats a very informative video, in a very different way of similar videos around YT. Thanks for the great content guys. I think there should be more of these, talking about other directors. Keep them coming bc we love them :)
Ted’s positivity is what all other you tubers need. As usual another good topic, thanks mate
Thank you for the upload!
Love the content! You and the team are so good!
What a pleasure to listen to you both.
your contents are so useful I watched the ads without skipping, it's me saying thank you to u.
9:20 That’s not from Dunkirk, it’s from Atonement.
My fave guest, always informative.
Thanks buddy for sharing 🔥
Good video alot of these directors are my favorite cool you put both Lee directors back to back like that.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this episode..
Thanks, Ted. I love your videos. Although I'm not a filmmaker, I love your work and learn something every time I visit. So thanks again. I will be back.
Another great video!
No one going to mention they used the wrong Dunkirk film for the first clip of Christopher Nolan's segment?
it's atonment
hahahaha
very insightful and some great tips!!! thank you for posting
Thanks for watching :)
love your videos!
Ads are NOT worth skipping on this channel. Well done for that seamless cut.
incredible!
Great video
Love listening to Guy speak.... oh, and you too Ted. :D
I feel like you forgot one of the most influential Filmmakers Jordan Peele, Denis Vileneuve & Ari Aster
Loved this video! Cover Tarantino!
You used a clip that's not from Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk 👀😯 The movie shown is Atonement starring James McAvoy
There are plenty of obvious ones from the last 50 years not covered -- Tarantino, which you subtly mention, Scorsese has as distinct a style as anyone. Spielberg. Even though I don't like many of his movies, Tim Burton has a very distinct and artistic style. I could say the same about Zack Snyder and Michael Bay. I hate almost every Michael Bay movie, but he brought the look of music videos and car commercials into the cinema that has definitely engaged the masses. What you're really missing, though, are the silver screen era directors, people like Hitchcock and Capra. Those early directors made dozens of films and worked in the silent era when they had to depend on their cinematography in ways that modern directors don't to tell a story, to emote, etc. You look at stills from movies in the '30s and they often look like something from a coffee table book of art. They were making movies for mass consumption for people who had no interest in ever visiting the Louvre and yet were giving them real art.
Very interesting, thanks :D
Glad you liked it!
I hope Indy Mogul would cover Wes Anderson's films and go with an analysis of his films. It would do me wonders as his movies have this unique indie taste that I really enjoy
This show rocks! Very insightful for inspiring cinematographer's. Had no idea Kubrick got NASA glass!
Crazy right?!
Learning more little by little 🧠🎬
Great content as always, but I felt it was a bit rushed compared to the last "Visual Style" video
finally someone bring out the humble giant Ang Lee
Great ❤️
Nice & Thanks :)
9:21 That shot was in a completely different movie
Tarkovsky would have been a decent feature for this segment but perhaps you shall produce another
According to the sisters from the shining, they originally were just casting for two sisters. Kubrick then saw the two twins and said it was spookier.
David Fincher please
Fantastic episode! I agree with Guy, go back to the source. Art, music, movies whatever it is go back to when it was a miracle to even create. You will begin to see how every one steals ideas to create their own version
Wong kar-wai please.
Jean Pierre Jeunet Edgar Wright Terry Gilliam All super strong stylistically with a heavy stroke of whimsy and surealism. This would be a matinee showing and a half.
We love Kubrick
Inspire 1 with x3 or mavic air 2?
*Deja Vu !!!*
How does this video have so few views? Thanks as always guys.
whats the song from 0:37 to 0:45?
No mention of Fulci when Salvati was his DP.....
Directing style of Satyajit Ray
That Dunkirk scene cutaway was a WRONG film.
Ava DuVernay is a director i would like you to cover thanks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why this great chanel is dead ??
Wait wasn't this already uploaded?
This is part 2 of the series! Here's the first video: kzhead.info/sun/i8aRqciMbmmsoIE/bejne.html
Moment of silence if your miss Indy mogul old format
Stanley Kubrick is the king of doing 1000 of same shots Funny Adam Baldwin says what is this guy want and Stanley looks over and says how about better acting
Yeah I am early!!!
WHY NO TARANTINO?????
;)
first?!
You forgot satoshi kon for nolan's inspiration.
"NASA glasses?? " ..dude.. I thought they were called lens.. Gregg Toland will turn in his grave..
“Glass” is the industry vernacular for lenses. The plural of which is identical.
Momento??? For a chanel which claims its in the industry, this is an unforgivable mistake
Tarkovsky would have been a decent feature for this segment but perhaps you shall produce another
