"WE PUSHED IT EVEN FURTHER. WE WENT BOLDER, WITH DEEPER BLACK AND REALLY STRONG COLOR SEPARATION."
FILM: "John Wick: Chapter 4"
DIRECTOR: Chad Stahelski
SCREENPLAY: Shay Batten & Michael Finch
CINEMATOGRAPHY: Dan Laustsen
PRODUCTION DESIGN: Kevin Kavanaugh
SENIOR COLORIST: Jill Bogdanowicz
"Company 3 Senior Colorist Jill Bogdanowicz recently completed work grading "John Wick: Chapter 4." She has handled grading duties on the "John Wick" series since "Chapter 2," which also happened to be when Dan Laustsen joined as cinematographer. The two have collaborated with director Chad Stahelski on the stylized Keanu Reeves-starring series since. All "John Wick" films have impressed audiences with their strong, expressive looks, but Bogdanowicz says of "Chapter 4":
“We pushed it even further. We went bolder, with deeper blacks and really strong color separation.""

'John Wick Chapter 4' - Still Trying to Kill the Unkillable
If there is to be a fifth “John Wick” film in our future, or perhaps this can be included in the upcoming spinoff entitled “Ballerina,” in which a father and son visit a memorial which stretches out for a couple of miles. Their dialogue would be comprised of the following:
“Daddy, what is the wall?”
“Well son, this is a memorial for all the people killed by John Wick, a professional hitman and…

John Wick: Chapter 4 (15): As a virgin John Wick watcher, are they all this repetitive and soulless?
#onemannsmovies review of "John Wick: Chapter 4" (2023). #JohnWickMovie. Glossy but overblown, violent and soulless action flick. 2.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “John Wick: Chapter 4” (2023).
There are some movie franchises that, for whatever reason, I’ve never ever dipped my toe into. “Police Academy”? Nope, not seen a single one. “Transformers”? Nope – – monster robots fighting each other… no interest whatsover. And over on the action-hero side of the equation, there was John Wick, a Keanu Reeves vehicle set up by former…

John Wick 4 Review- The Best John Wick Film by a Longshot
John Wick has been a franchise that no one saw coming. Before the first film Keanu Reeves’s career wasn’t necessarily going places. The first film was a complete surprise to many including myself. Ever since that film though these films have been very much anticipated by the masses. Including myself. Fast forward to now and John Wick 4 is about to be released and I’m here to say it’s the best in…

My Best of 2023: Cinematography
My Best of 2023 is a series of annual lists in which I pick the best of the best from 2023, all leading up to my official picks for My Top 10 Films of 2023.
I'm missing a couple of the big ones, this year, including two on Netflix, but don't feel like squeezing them in or (in the case of The Zone of Interest) waiting for them to reach my culturally dead part of the state/country. So we're going with what we've got. Despite my issues with the pacing and length of Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, it was so incredibly well shot that it was a no-brainer for first place. Robbie Ryan's work on Poor Things was a straight-up fever-dream. Hoyte Van Hotema's turned Oppenheimer from a biopic into a nightmare of a paranoid thriller. Yeoman once again created an eye-popping feast for Wes Anderson's Asteroid City. Messerschmidt, Sandgren and Laustsen filled their respective films with intense atmosphere. Then Prieto once again wows with his colorful, dazzling work on Barbie, and Messerschmidt returns with fantastic period work on Ferrari. Finally, speaking of period work, Bryld brilliant transports us back to the '70s with his work on The Holdovers. Work that legitimately makes the film feel as though it very well could've been made in the '70s.
My Top 10 Achievements in Cinematography in 2023!
1. Rodrigo Prieto for Killers of the Flower Moon
2. Robbie Ryan for Poor Things
3. Hoyte Van Hoytema for Oppenheimer
4. Robert Yeoman for Asteroid City
5. Erik Messerschmidt for The Killer
6. Linus Sandgren for Saltburn
7. Dan Laustsen for John Wick: Chapter 4
8. Rodrigo Prieto for Barbie
9. Erik Messerschmidt for Ferrari
10. Eigil Bryld for The Holdovers
Enjoy!
