I have to admit, digging into the filmography of Steven Soderbergh was an absolute delight. Not only does he create enjoyable and memorable films, he’s also a classic example of how tight, fast, and controlled a story can be presented when you have a true auteur filmmaker behind the camera. Since Soderbergh both directs and shoots (and often edits)...
While we go a bit further into how Soderbergh uses color in his cinematography below, this supercut video of his work behind the lens on the Ocean’s Trilogy is a great way to talk about his hyperlink cinema style and how he uses a variety of shot angles and looks to help connect scattered perspectives.
