Emmy Award®-nominated Director Philip Barantini and fellow nominees — including cinematographer Matthew Lewis and the sound team of James Drake, Jules Woods, Rob Entwistle, and Kiff McManus — join us this week to discuss the making of “Adolescence,” Netflix's hit limited series. Nominated for thirteen Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, the show's four episodes were each filmed as single, continuous takes, creating a gripping real-time experience for viewers — and offering some unexpected advantages for the filmmakers.“For Netflix, it was very different for them because… they're very limited in what notes you can give. You can't say, ‘I think that scene needs to move to a different location' or whatever. It's literally got to be performance notes… And so, they were fantastic. Netflix were just amazing, really, really amazing partners.”—Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer, “Adolescence”Joining today's conversation: - Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer - Matthew Lewis, Director of Photography, Camera Operator - James Drake, Supervising Sound Editor, Re-Recording Mixer - Jules Woods, AMPS, CAS, Re-Recording Mixer - Rob Entwistle, AMPS, Production Sound Mixer - Kiff McManus, AMPS, Production Sound MixerBe sure to check out “Adolescence,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

Cinematographer Romain Lacourbas returns to Below the Line to talk about crafting Ballerina, the latest stylish installment in the John Wick universe. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Cinematographer Romain Lacourbas to discuss his visual approach to Ballerina, from the film's sweeping Prague exteriors to its tightly choreographed fight scenes. Romain breaks down his collaboration with Director Len Wiseman, the decision to shoot single-camera action, and the creative problem-solving behind some of the film's most explosive moments. We cover: Building trust with Len Wiseman — and how the director's homemade pre-vis videos helped shape their collaboration Adapting the look of John Wick to a new city — with its own palette and texture Leveraging Alexa 35 cameras and Hawk Class-X anamorphic lenses to add volume and texture — a deliberate choice to highlight Philip Ivey's distinctive production design Planning and executing long-take action — including that grenade-filled basement sequence Why most stunt scenes were shot with a single camera — and how that impacted timing, blocking, and performance Leaning into practical effects, from real explosions to blood rigs and rain-slicked streets Capturing Hallstatt's natural beauty — even on a tight shooting schedule  Romain also reflects on the freedom he had as a DP, his continued partnership with Camera Operator James Frater, and how working with a detail-driven director made the difference.

In this episode of the Film Ireland podcast, filmmaker and contributor Paul Farren sits down for a conversation with legendary cinematographer Roy H. Wagner ASC. With a career spanning decades, Wagner has brought his keen eye to storytelling, capturing an array of worlds on camera, from Beauty and the Beast to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Paul and Roy explore the craft of cinematography and the act of interpreting a narrative through light, shadow and lens. They discuss Wagner's approach to visual language, the evolution of the craft, and what it means to sustain a career in the industry. About Roy H. Wagner Roy is a two-time Emmy Award-winning cinematographer with over 50 years of experience shooting TV series and feature films. Major DP credits include House, CSI, Quantum Leap, Burn Notice, and Ray Donovan. In addition to two Primetime Emmy wins, he also won the ASC Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for the mini-series Drug Wars. Born in a very small community in the Midwest, Roy had no other contact with his dream of becoming a cinematographer than through the local theatre and the Los Angeles phone directory. He would recall the names of cinematographers as they appeared on their films and call them blindly to talk with them about their work. Many of them were so surprised by this young man's ambition and interest that they took him under their wing, mentoring him. When he arrived in Los Angeles, he spent every moment with them on their sets and in their homes, learning as much about them and their work as he could. Because of this, he was able to meet and befriend many of the greatest cinematographers in Hollywood. His key mentor was Harry Stradling Sr. Through him, he developed friendships with Joseph Ruttenberg, George Folsey, James Wong Howe, Leon Shamroy, Frank Phillips, Leonard South, and many, many others. In the late 1970s, he began a life-long process of interviewing cinematographers on videotape or film. A deep reverence for all that is old Hollywood remains a great part of his life, and the memory of the behind-the-scenes stories told to him as a young man is an important basis for his life and work.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the TV show's connection to the HBO show 'Succession' and how the filmmakers should take some inspiration from it. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      3:30 Different cinematography. Longer shots, less music, and more personal moments can really make a difference in how we understand the show. Now that the audience in older and has a better handle on the story, a more sophisticated portrayal could go a long way.·      15:05 Focusing on relationships. Further, how relationships change. Succession follows a business family which is incredibly dysfunctional, and it is the relationships that really drive the story forward. Though Harry Potter isn't similar in that way, focusing on a relationship driven story could show us more of the characters we think we know. ·      19:56 The day doesn't always have to be saved. If an episode ends on a huge downer, that might add something to the show.·      24:23 More on Voldemort's rise to power. We don't have a strong connection between Tom Riddle and Voldemort. Additionally, we only really see the inner workings of his life at the final few acts of the story. It is an interesting story we should see more of. Having anything you want to hear or say?

The primary focus of this podcast episode revolves around the profound impact of personal narratives on human connection, particularly when discussing difficult life experiences. The speakers reflect on how sharing their challenging stories elicits emotional responses from listeners, often leading to moments of silence and sadness. This somber atmosphere prompts a desire to shift the conversation towards more uplifting topics, such as sports, which serves as a coping mechanism for navigating discomfort. Furthermore, the discussion delves into the speaker's professional journey in basketball and cinematography, emphasizing the significance of travel and cultural exchange in shaping their worldview. Ultimately, the episode underscores the importance of perspective and the transformative power of storytelling in fostering empathy and understanding among individuals.Takeaways: The emotional weight of sharing personal hardships often leads to somber reactions from the audience. Transitioning from professional basketball to cinematography shapes one's view on success and fulfillment. Experiencing diverse cultures while playing abroad profoundly alters one's perception of the world. Traveling exposes individuals to new perspectives that challenge preconceived notions about safety and opportunity. Personal growth often stems from overcoming adversity and redirecting one's life path toward new opportunities. The impact of global travel on personal identity cannot be overstated, as it broadens horizons and fosters deeper understanding.

Directed by Sam Mendes with Cinematography by Roger Deakins, and starring Daniel Craig in peak form, Skyfall delivers emotional depth, high-stakes espionage, and stunning visuals — all while celebrating the 50th anniversary of James Bond on screen.To pair with this sleek, stylish Bond adventure, I'm pouring a glass of the 2024 release of Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon — a bold, complex whiskey that's as refined and powerful as 007 himself. I share tasting notes, my thoughts on the latest batch, and how it complements the themes and tone of Skyfall.

This week, we're joined by Matt Workman—filmmaker, developer, and creator of Cine Tracer—for a candid look at the shifting landscape of cinematography.

From the emergence of virtual production to the democratization of 3D previsualization, Workman unpacks how technology like Unreal Engine, once reserved for high-budget productions, is becoming a daily tool for working DPs.Matt Workman's Instagram | YouTubePeter Pascucci's Instagram | WebsiteLauren Guiteras's Instagram | WebsiteThis episode is sponsored by Fujifilm, Sandisk and TCP Insurance.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 145 - Deliverables and Preserving Authorial Intent - with Steve Yedlin In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Steve Yedlin (Season 2, Episode 72) returns to talk with us about deliverables and preserving authorial intent in post-production. Throughout the episode, we tap into Steve's deep well of technical knowledge, and we make frequent reference to Steve's publicly available demonstration on what HDR really is and how it has affected the colour timing stage of post. We get into the weeds during our conversation, and we try to make sense of the growing number of variables, units of measurement, and home-video viewing options we're forced to contend with as filmmakers in the digital age. We also look at how our level of control over home-viewing deliverables has changed since the VHS days, and we attempt to peek into what the future may hold for us as technology and audience expectations continue to evolve. Towards the end of our conversation, we discuss the economic realities of restoring old films, and Steve offers his best advice to any young (or older!) filmmaker feeling overwhelmed by the endless technical jargon. Plus, we find some surprising and relevant wisdom within THIS IS SPINAL TAP. - We highly recommend watching Steve's demonstration on HDR for an even deeper investigation into the topics discussed in this episode.

Send us a textIt started with jokes about zippers and tight flight suits—and somehow ended with tears, respect, and emotional damage. In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix's Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons.They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn't just about airplanes doing tricks—it's about pride, sacrifice, pain, and the power of not sucking when it counts. Bonus points if your call sign isn't “Primo.”

This week on 2 Bears 1 Cave, Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer go deep on Tom's new Netflix series Bad Thoughts — a disturbing, hilarious, and brilliantly unhinged ride that Charo absolutely hated. The Bears talk about favorite sketches, behind-the-scenes moments, bloopers, and why Bert is both joking and not joking about not being cast. They dive into the art of acting, working with writers, and getting lost in characters — plus Bert's dream roles if he had been invited. Also: Tom's Italian guy character, hair insecurity, Kevin James dying his beard, and Tom's nudity in the show. Elsewhere, Bert shares his Post Malone + Jelly Roll solo mission, NASCAR plans, and recent attempts at eating clean and not drinking again. There's debate over royal titles, Meghan Markle, Prince William, and a killer impression of the royal family worrying about baby skin tone. Plus: Bert's mail opening trauma, how he weighs himself, cauliflower pizza, bar takeovers, and why Tom might actually like who he is. It's full sketch comedy breakdown meets chaotic Bear therapy—don't miss it. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 289 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:20 - Tom Talks Bad Thoughts 00:13:50 - Cinematography & Awkward Sex Scenes 00:21:45 - Casting Choices & Putting Friends In Movies 00:33:23 - Tom's Acting, Bert's "Sobriety", & NASCAR 00:40:20 - The Royals & Meghan Markle 00:55:01 - Bills 01:03:01 - Big Boys 01:09:31 - Wrap Up Learn more about your ad choices.
