On 'Y Tu Mama Tambien,' we started exploring shots that are longer, where the camera is moving around the actors, and there are no cuts, and you feel like you're there. Emmanuel Lubezki actorcameracut Change image and share on social
I think the audience doesn't know a movie's lit, but they feel it. Because you've walked in a forest many times, or in a park, so you know how it looks. When you start lighting, subconsciously you know there is something that is absolutely wrong. Emmanuel Lubezki absolutelyaudiencefeel share on social

'Little Princess' was the first big movie that I did in America with big stages where we had kind of a different schedule to work. We had a great production designer, Bo Welch, and we had time to think about the movie in pre-production. Emmanuel Lubezki americabigdesigner share on social
The dynamic range of the digital camera is pretty crappy compared to film, but now film is not great because the labs have closed. It's going to hurt a lot of the movies that we did in this gap because I think they are going to look very old very soon. Emmanuel Lubezki cameraclosecompare share on social
I was able to shoot a movie like 'Tree of Life' because I had done 'Y Tu Mama Tambien.' The camera needed to capture that sense of freedom and joy and life you have when you're young. Emmanuel Lubezki cameracapturefreedom Change image and share on social
I would love if film doesn't disappear, if we can have film forever so we would have all these brushes, all these possibilities available. Emmanuel Lubezki brushdisappearfilm Change image and share on social
A normal day of working in Burbank is 14 hours, sometimes more. On 'The Revenant' sometimes it was eight hours, but we were shooting only five. So they were short days, but they were very strenuous because of the weather. And it was very dark. Emmanuel Lubezki burbankdarkday share on social
