This week, on a special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we ask our friend and cinematographer David Mullen (Season 1, Episode 83) how much and what technical knowledge a cinematographer should know these days. We maintain the position that the look of a film is the product of a cinematographer’s eye, rather than the technology one uses, and David concisely explains how cinematographer Oswold Morris developed the desaturated look of director John Huston’s adaptation of MOBY DICK using the technology available to him to serve the story and realize Huston’s vision of the film. We also reflect on the lost knowledge of how films were made in the early digital days of the 2000s and stress the need to study and remember filmmaking history. Plus, we highlight the need to understand basic high school mathematics.
