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.

Sci-Fi July dives deep into the sublime with Upstream Color (2013), Shane Carruth's mesmerizing meditation on identity, connection, and control. Co-hosts Ben Buckingham and Jim Laczkowski join Mike to untangle the film's elliptical narrative, which follows a woman who is drugged, robbed, and psychically linked to a pig as part of a surreal cycle of manipulation and rebirth. A bold, enigmatic follow-up to Primer, Carruth's film is an audiovisual trance, blurring the line between organism and environment, memory and self.

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?

We also reveal the story behind the push-in in the opening shot of the film, what was on location and what was on stage, and how we shot the river crossing scene. We later reflect on working with then-child actor Hailee Steinfeld, and we discuss the script's unique and engaging dialogue. We also reflect on the utility of cowboy hats and on the visual strength of westerns directed by John Ford and Sergio Leone, and we swap stories from our early-career, low-budget exterior shoots.

How do you bring a game world to life for the screen — especially when that world already has millions of devoted fans? Cinematographer Catherine Goldschmidt knows firsthand — and her work on The Last of Us reveals just how complex that challenge can be. Catherine Goldschmidt joins Robert “Skid” Skidmore to discuss her work on the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, with co-host Gianni Damaia bringing the perspective of a longtime fan and gamer. Together, they dig into the complex visual language of an adaptation that blurs the line between game and cinema — from shot-for-shot recreations to bold deviations. We cover: Catherine's approach to adapting game cinematics into film language — including when to match and when to break away How The Last of Us uses space, light, and camera movement to draw viewers into Ellie's experience Constructing visual set pieces like the subway ambush and Jackson assault with a blend of practical stunts, VFX, and strategic camera placement The emotional and logistical challenges of staging Joel's death The visual shift from chaos to quiet in Episode 2's final montage — and how that deliberate pacing reshapes the episode's emotional impact Catherine also reflects on how her collaboration with multiple directors and departments shaped the season's look and feel, and how visual storytelling can remain grounded even in the most heightened, post-apocalyptic moments.

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.

Along the way, they reflect on Keira Knightley's breakout role, Matthew Macfadyen's modern take on Mr. Darcy, and how 19th-century courtship still hits in 2025. With some help from Frank's wife and linked video essays, they make sense of the story's deeper layers—reluctantly, but respectfully.

Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen bring depth to iconic characters, especially through subtext and physical acting. Joe Wright's direction is subtle but powerful, using natural lighting, one-shot sequences, and thoughtful framing. The story critiques societal norms by centering a woman (Elizabeth Bennet) who refuses to play by the rules. The movie has become a beloved comfort film, especially for those drawn to emotionally charged slow-burn romances. Quotes:

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.”

They share why they utilized painted backings to assist in set extension over blue screens or LED walls, and we later swap strategies for figuring out how to maintain the illusion of a flying helicopter. Greig also reveals what makes him proud about a particular all-CG shot in DUNE: PART II, and Paul breaks down what an audience really means when they see “bad CGI” in a film. Towards the end, we discuss the merging of animation and live-action filmmaking, and we look ahead to what the future may bring. - Recommended Viewing: DUNE (2021), DUNE: PART II (2024) - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Profoto
