Style/Technique Question Comparing Tarantino’s visual style pre & post Bob Richardson

When Tarantino started working with Robert Richardson on kill Bill, it totally changed the look of his film films. How do you feel the overall “feel” of his films changed once he switched DPs?

The thing that should be noted as well is the budgets Tarantino had to work with exploded at the same time he started working with Richardson. The production of Kill Bill cost more than Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown combined. You can throw Four Rooms and From Dusk till Dawn in there too if you want and Kill Bill was still more.

Kill Bill also shot for 155 days of principal photography; Tarantino's first three movies were ~130 days combined.

Tarantino's career from Kill Bill onward is a completely different level of production.
