Episode 34 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Mandy Walker. The first cinematographer to appear on The Blank Canvas, Mandy Walker was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. She started out as a clapper loader and worked her way up through the camera department on documentaries, feature films, commercials and music videos, and shot her first feature film, Return Home, at the age of twenty-five. Mandy has since notched up 20 feature film credits as director of photography and has filmed over a hundred high end international commercials, including the commercial-films for Chanel No. 5 which were directed by Baz Luhrmann and feature Nicole Kidman, and more recently with supermodel Gisele. Mandy is a sitting Governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the American Society of Cinematographers. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Australian Cinematographers Society. She was the Kodak Artist in Residence at UCLA film school and in 2015 she received the Kodak Cinematography Mentor of the Year Award. There’s no doubt Mandy is very talented but I believe what makes her so sought after by the top directors is her strength as a storyteller, of course being a joy to collaborate counts for a lot too! She works across a broad array of genres in everything from small character based ‘art films’ to the the 200 million dollar Disney epic MULAN. Other credits include Academy Award nominated Hidden Figures, The Mountain Between Us (Kate Winslet, Idris Elba) Truth (Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford), Red Riding Hood (Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman), Jane Got A Gun (Natalie Portman), the Aussie classic Lantana, Baz’s Lurhman’s movie Australia and Mandy is currently shooting Baz’s latest movie “Untitled Elvis Presley Project”, which stars Tom Hanks. https://www.mandywalkerdp.com/ W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/leerogers12/ SOCIALS Insta: @theblankcanvaspodcast FB - The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald.

These four powerhouse cinematographers discuss their rise in the business and the shared as well as different experiences they have had as women.  They talk about bringing more inclusivity in the camera department and how to bring true apprenticeship/mentorship back into the film business.

Mandy Walker believes that her job as a cinematographer is not just to make pretty pictures, but to enhance an emotion with lenses, camera placement and lighting. She works on a gut and emotional level for films, getting across the feelings of the characters- a DP's arsenal of tricks should only help convey what's going on in the scene. For Mulan, Mandy and director Nikki Caro wanted to take a different approach from the Disney animated version, and were free to interpret the film as they wished. Mandy watched several Chinese action films such as House of Flying Daggers and went on location scouting trips to China to find the look and inspiration for the film. Mandy grew up in Australia and always loved photography, film and art, so she felt a passion to become a cinematographer right from the beginning. She skipped film school and began as a production assistant and loader in Australia, learning as she went on films such as Lantana, which was shot using almost only available light. Shattered Glass, which tells the true story of a journalist who made up the majority of his articles, was her first American film. Working with Baz Luhrmann on Australia was a huge jump into bigger budget movies, and she learned how to organize and delegate an entire camera department with multiple cameras. For the film Hidden Figures, Mandy worked closely with the costume designer and makeup artists to ensure that how the characters were dressed and what they looked like matched the feel of what each scene is meant to convey. She watched a lot of archival footage from NASA, some of which was used in the film, and was thrilled to meet Katherine Johnson, one of the real-life subjects of the film. Mandy Walker is currently working with director Baz Luhrmann again on a forthcoming biography film about Elvis Presley.

He took Latin for three years in high school and did fine, but he's taking his second year of Latin in college and it's proving to be excruciating for him. Do you have any advice for this level of Latin?" 4:55 - Christine asks, "Are there a limited number of words that work as invisible openers? For example, "Being exhausted, the man sank down into a sofa." In this example, it works to drop the word "being." Do all words work this way? It doesn't sound right to me to say, "Tired, the man sank down into a sofa."

He's currently in the 5th grade in a public school. I am unfortunately unable to homeschool him, but we are working with him after school and in the summers as much as possible. I wanted to see what would be recommended for him? He's currently in 5th grade so I'm unsure whether level A or level B would be best for him." 16:13 - Mary asks, "My fourteen-year-old has some issues: lack of proper punctuation in sentences, run-ons, and tense agreements, to name a few. I have addressed these in editing, but I feel like he's missing something pretty important. Should I continue to coach him through editing? He is grasping all the dress-ups quite well. We are in Unit 4." 23:52 - Paula asks,"Hi there. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I am tutoring an IEW writing class at a tutoring center and the grades range from 3-8.

Blending a family is a huge, complex topic and this is only going to scratch the surface ... if you are dating again, thinking about getting married again then you're going to need to help your children adjust to your remarriage.We know that second marriages are not easy. The U.S. Census Bureau in 2006 found that 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce. It seems that third marriages are even harder, ending in divorce about 70 percent of the time.Experts cite a number of reasons for this one of which is that the children can be a destabilizing factor. For example, you'll almost certainly find differences in parenting styles, challenges with discipline, problems getting the children to get along with each other and obstacles to coordinating parenting schedules.There are however plenty of people who have successfully blended families so don't get discouraged. Instead, ask what you can do to help your child see your new spouse and their children as a positive addition to your family.Author Maria Ashworth knows the challenges first hand. She remarried about nine years ago when her two children were aged eight and nine. Her second husband had five children, from two previous marriages, ranging in ages from two to 21. Based on her own experience, Ashworth's latest book is Step One, Step Two, Step Three and Four  (available on Amazon) and is designed for children aged between four and eight to help reassure them that in spite of the changes, a blended family can be worth it.Ashworth joins Mandy Walker for this episode to discuss what you can do to help your child see a blended family as positive. If you'd like to read a synopsis of this episode, please hop over to Mandy's blog, Since My Divorce.

Having to tell your kids that your marriage is over and their lives will be changing is a conversation most of us dread, put off and lose sleep over.
