| Description: | 13:00:00 Robert Richardson lists the films he's worked on with Oliver Stone (Salvador, Platoon, Wall Street, Talk Radio, The Doors) 13:00:29 "Volatile, sometimes. Very collaborative in most cases. My relationship with Oliver is a bit volatile, I guess." 13:01:14 "At this point in a film, the style really has been established... we've been repeating the same system." 13:01:43 A lot of it really depends on the flashback material... that incorporates 8mm, 16mm, & 35mm for a variety of reasons." 13:02:10 "Zapruder's material was shot on 8mm. So we shot a certain percentage of our material in that format..." 13:02:55 Robert Richardson talks about the style of the films of Oliver Stone, talks about specific films 13:03:49 "But he's very hands-on. He doesn't allow for a lot of movement. He forces you to participate." 13:04:02 Bob Richardson discusses his collaborative work with Oliver Stone, especially on "JFK" 13:05:03 "He has a very heavy hand in terms of editing. I don't think many shots last more than a few seconds." 13:06:06 Bob Richardson says the material he's most proud of was the bonfire concert scene in "The Doors" 13:06:34 "He's become much better with his actors... His writing has always been good... His vocabulary of shots is much larger..." 13:07:14 Robert Richardson talks about the different film stocks used on "JFK," especially with Oswald 13:08:04 "The use of formats is also an editing device to allow for easier intercuts..." 13:08:30 Robert Richardson discusses why he also unconventionally works as his own camera operator 13:09:25 Bob Richardson talks about where he was when he first learned about the assassination of John F. Kennedy | |
