On next week’s episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we’re sharing another special conversation—this time featuring our friend and cinematographer David Mullen (Season 1, Episode 83) concerning how much and what technical knowledge a cinematographer ought to know these days. The topics are wide-ranging, and we cover a lot of ground in this extended episode. The conversation includes specific explanations of technical details (such as the difference between film grain and digital noise) and more general subjects (such as the importance of telling a story and eliciting an emotional response from the audience over using the latest gadget for the sake of it). We also share a number of work stories, including Roger’s early-career exposure to cinematographer Douglas Slocombe’s internal light-meter and David’s experience seeing his work on a TV show smothered by a yellow filter during post.⁠ ⁠ Be sure to listen next week!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ -...
