Greetings,
I’m a fellow student of cinema and great a admirer of Sir Roger Deakins. This community has given me great significant insights as to how things can work and it opened my perspective on Lighting. I have been making notes from here since 2020 and now when the old forum data is lost, I think this might help a few. Please keep that in mind that these notes were made just for myself so I never put much detailing and context. These notes are amalgamation of Roger’s answers. Again, thank you so much Sir Roger and James for sharing your knowledge with the world.

That’s a lot!
As you mention these shreds of thoughts are out of context but they do form an interesting overview on how a world class cinematographer approaches situations from small to big and film work in general.
Thank you very much for this AksyayYd! I also have a little collection of saved pages from the old forum but unfortunately, all the pages I did put into the bookmarks of the browser are lost and only some of those are saved in PDF (I paid dearly for my laziness).
Those notes, also if without a certain context are precious, a lot of those I remember the posts where comes from!
Thank you for your sharing!Max.
Hey Max! I can share the word file for this document and together we (the whole community) can put more context and details to the key-points. Whatever little we can do, I think that will help everyone here.
Thanks a lot for sharing It! How timely, I was thinking just the other day that a collection of posts from the forum would create a precious knowledge and then here It Is!
Really appreciate this, if you ever get to organise the document it will be lovely. Thanks for this.
I have a book, ‘Reflections’, coming out in the fall which may provide you with what you are after. At least, I hope it will as that was my intent when assembling it. ‘Reflections’ contains lighting diagrams and analysis of various films and scenes within them but is not intended as a technical manual, as its title would imply.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Dear master Roger I am from India. I am long time forum member. I need Reflection book with your signature. What should I do. If I pre order there won’t be your sign. Atleast you have to help me in this case</p>
This year means November month right? I am eager to read your great experience. Your priceless experience is reflections in reflection book!
November in the US and January in Europe.
I don’t know if it’s of any relevance but italian Amazon page says it will available in November here, i hope they didn’t mistake publishing date and european availability date, ah ah! The excerpt of the book are great, looking forward to read and re-read it!I bet it will become the Bible of the present and future generations of cinematographers!
I wonder if Amazon will sell copies intended for sale in the States. It is a mystery!
Searching on Amazon (i checked on italian, french and german versions) there are two different versions: one from Cassell Publishing (actually Octopus Publishing) to be published on february 12th and one from Grand Central Publishing to be published on november 11th, both properties of Hachette. On US Amazon there’s only the one from GCP. So it seems that the GCP one is the american version (a bit cheaper) and the Cassell one is the european version (a bit more expensive).
My wild guess is that in Europe we’ll be able to order the GCP version on november but it will be shipped from US .
But the strangest part is that italian amazon says it could be delivered on november 19th and in general they are quite timely on delivery here. A week to deliver it in Italy from US ? The mistery deepens! Stay tuned on november to discover the shocking finale of the series! Ah ah!
