Brilliant interview and work!!! :D

His work was really memorable. There's something about the light disappearing from Dumbledore's face in that scene that makes me hold my breath.

And March 7th is actually next Sunday.

Bet it really was a tough job.

He put a ton of thought into this and the movie turned out amazing because of it! Wonderful work, congrats on being nominated, and good luck!!

Interesting...

I really loved HBP because of the cinematography. I wish he came back for DH. :( The only problem I have with his work was that sometimes it was too dark. I was just watching HBP before and at times I couldn't see their faces.

Cool!

:D

Hope he wins! I would've done HP 7, but that's just me. And the Oscars are on Sunday, darling house elves. Not Monday. :P

I'll be watching; it's my favorite awards show.

That's cool. The cinematography on all the HP films are truely amazing. All the cast and crew deserve lots of credit.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Watching it on a large-ish screen at home it appeared extremely dark in certain scenes but some scenes are beautifully light. The cave scene is spectacular and Hogsmeade scenes in the snow are extremely bright hence why I didn't turn up the brightness.

However I cannot give Bruno Delbonnel enough credit. His work is marvelous!

:D x

Bruce Delbonnel did a fabulous job. He truly does deserve that Oscar for his work.

Personally, I never had any issues with certain scenes being too dark on my television. Everything was lit so beautifully, and sometimes very subtly...

You done well in HBP,Bruno.. Congrats..

Great!

I thought Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince looked positively sumptuous. Well done, Mr. Delbonnel!

Nice interview!!! :)

Fantastic work and well deserved!!!

Great interview!!!
I'M SURE HBP IS GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR!!!!:woot:
Brilliant work!!!
Keep up the amazing work!!!

Interesting information.....wonder if an Oscar is to be won?

Fingers crossed that he wins! :)

He did a great job on the film! It looks so unique and beautiful whenever I've watched it that he [and the film] definitely deserve to win! :D
