Today, we’re excited to share our conversation with cinematographer Ben Davis (THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, LAYER CAKE) in the latest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. Following an honest appraisal of his own focus-pulling skills, Ben reveals how he put in the time to shoot and light his own projects early in his career, and he reflects on what he learned watching legendary cinematographer Billy Williams (Season 2, Episode 28) light his own films. We also discuss the pitfalls of pre-vis, and we reflect on the different practices of manipulating film stock and digital footage.⁠ ⁠ Check out the link in our bio to listen!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #benDavis #cinematographer #cinematography #stillPhotography #visualarts
