He used some Red on this film, but I don't think we'll be seeing much digital work from him until the next two films that he shot over the past year.

From what I've heard, he likes to mix in some digital shooting so as to experiment with free form improvisation in takes longer than four minutes.
 
I remember hearing there is some Red in Tree of Life, but unless it's in the Creation chapter, I don't think there is any. Maybe this time though.

iirc, he did shoot some scenes on red at the very beginning, but didn't end up using it because he didn't like the way it looked. or something.

there was a post about this on some camera-related forum made by someone who worked on the set at the time, but i seem to have deleted the link from my favorites.
 
Wish I had my old film professor's email. He's probably losing it. Guy lived for Terrence Malick. We watched his films almost exclusively in that class. Glad we did though, fantastic stuff.

It must take forever to make his films when he only seems to care about the fifteen minutes after the sun sets.

Absolutely. He films half his scenes during the "golden hour".
 
I know this is like saying that the ocean smells like women, but, New World was sloooowww.



Well, duhh its a malick film, I still found it slow, and I couldnt understand the structure. it was like it ended 3-4 times, le return of the king style. when it finally ended I had sense of resolve, but maybe I was just fatigious.


This guys films are def things you need to have extra power for, to hold concentration.

The New World has a pretty normal three-act structure. It might have the most traditional structure of all his movies.
 
Can't believe I just discovered the trailer just now. I think it looks great, although I have some hesitation about the "narration" of the trailer. It sounds kind of chessy to me.:/ the themes and images look so good though.

Some of my favorite malick films like The New World and Days of Heaven have had strong romantic elements, interested in seeing how this one plays out, considering it's literally about love this time around.:p
 
Our good friend 28 Posts Later just informed me that he tracked down the music from the original trailer. It is Andy Quin's 'Awakening'.

The original song is here.

But the version used for the trailer is here.

It's sublime.

I saw this a few weeks ago now, but didn't post since no one on gaf seem to have seen it. Anyway, I posted this somewhere else afterwards, spoilers obviously:


I have to say that i found this to be a tough watch, probably the toughest of the Malick films, not becuase it's poorly made or anything, but the emotions in it explores is mostly negative. I'm afraid i didn't get much of that sense of joy that you guys did and i'm not sure if that is intended.
There wasn't very much of Paris at the beginning and things turned sour very quickly. When we meet Bardem's priest he has already lost his connection with God; the whole town, the house, that issue with water was always one big metaphor of this falseness, emptiness that was in their relationship, as if everything was already poisoned even when things looked beautiful on the surface and Olga is all dancing and cute.

I feel we had bits of this in Thin Red Line, when the captain remembers his wife, and in The New World as well. Here it focuses in and gives up the grandness of his other films to portray how i guess Malick sees the contemporary world. It's claustrophobic, first person to the extent that words from others are muffled; the camera stick close to and often right behind the person. There isn't the sense of labour and connection with the land and season as with Days of Heaven. I was reminded of the photography of Robert Adams for some reason. He did shots like these:
