Work Better With Your Cinematographer
*One of the most impactful artists that helps create the aesthetic of a film is the Director of Photography. They have direct access and impact to the look of the film and therefore must have a thorough working-knowledge of all things lighting, lenses, camera, and composition In addition to that, they must also be able to communicate seamlessly with multiple departments. Not to mention an understanding of film history and industry trends. In today’s episode we talk with 3 DP’s on how they work to combine technology, collaboration, and crew management to create the look and feel of a feature film.
*Cinematographers:
Jendra Jarnagin
Helge Gerull
Igor Kropotov
