SEASON 2 - EPISODE 111 - JESSE JAMES Live Q&A - with Wendy Roderweiss This special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast features a recording of what was a live conversation between Team Deakins and filmmaker and DePaul University professor Wendy Roderweiss following a screening of THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago. During the conversation, we discuss our experiences shooting the movie and working together as creative and life partners, and James reveals how her involvement allowed Roger to simultaneously shoot JESSE JAMES while colour timing JARHEAD. She also discusses how she balanced the workload between the two films (and countries!). We later share the genesis of the opening montage, and we also reflect on the limited use of the Deakinizer lenses invented for the film. We also answer a series of audience questions, and we reflect on our time working with the DePaul students during our visit to Chicago. Roger also offers his (brief) review of the print used at the screening!   This was recorded in early 2024 during our visit to DePaul University to participate in a series of events with their students. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 105 - Turning the Tables: “Our Partnership” - with Rick Carter Production designer Rick Carter (Season 2, Episode 95) returns to the Team Deakins Podcast for a special episode in which Rick turns the tables, and his questions, towards us. The focus of his questioning? Our partnership as Team Deakins. Rick mines the origins of our relationship and helps illuminate why Team Deakins works as well as it does, and we discuss how, as storytellers, we collaborate with one another and our fellow crew members to help visualize a film. James shares how she leverages her addiction to solving problems as an asset for the crew, and Roger reflects on how his total trust in James enables him to be in two places at once. Rick later steers the conversation towards the intuitive aspects of filmmaking, and we discuss the importance of keeping one's head straight during a shoot. Rick also expands the scope of our discussion to include the entire production, and we reflect on the magical energy of a crew working together in service of a clear vision as a unified creative unit. Towards the end, we also discuss the nature of the podcast as a means of communication, and we marvel at the fact that we've yet to actually meet Rick in person. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Cinematographer Declan Quinn (HAMILTON, LEAVING LAS VEGAS, MONSOON WEDDING) speaks with Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast. A first generation immigrant from Ireland, Declan first reflects on his youth bouncing between America and his family's home country. We then ruminate on Declan's decision to spend part of his early career in Ireland and on the function of pubs as watering holes wherein a young filmmaker could, back when Roger and Declan were starting out at least, find a community with which to celebrate and commiserate over work and life. Later, Declan shares his experiences working with directors Mike Figgis and Neil Jordan and on the myriad of other films he helped bring to life. Towards the end, Declan describes the process of Broadway captures and how he filmed HAMILTON at the height of its popularity with its original cast. - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled

Team Deakins speaks with writer and director David Lowery (PETER PAN & WENDY, A GHOST STORY, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS) on this episode of the podcast. David credits his early childhood obsession with STAR WARS (despite having not seeing the films at the time) for his lifelong obsession with filmmaking, and he walks us through his early career working in independent film in Texas. We dive deep into the making of AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS and A GHOST STORY, learning how David developed the title for the former and how his collaborators pulled off the Ghost's costume by utilizing the old-fashioned illusions of cinema for the latter. We also consider the danger of being beguiled by “cool shots” and how a good title can complement the tone of its film. We also touch on David's favourite topic: film financing! - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled - Recommended Viewing: A GHOST STORY, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS

Actor, writer, director, and novelist John Sayles (MATEWAN, BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET, LONE STAR) joins Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast for a discussion covering his long career in filmmaking and in fiction writing. A true multi-hyphenate, John first describes his postgraduate journey from working in an Italian sausage factory to enlisting in the Roger Corman film factory. John reflects on his luck having his first three screenplays produced under the legendary filmmaker and on the lessons he learned shooting his self-funded first feature. Working chiefly in independent American cinema, John considers the times and the market in which he came up that facilitated his filmmaking and offers advice for young filmmakers today. Among the many other topics of discussion, we consider the following: how John decides which medium best serves a story, the benefits of cutting in your head during production, and how comfortable an actor may or may not feel working out of an Econo Lodge in West Virginia.  - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission  Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission

Actor, director, and showrunner Bill Hader (BARRY, INSIDE OUT, THE SKELETON TWINS) joins Team Deakins to discuss his multi-faceted career in one of our funnier conversations. Reared in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bill describes how he first rode into town despite an early setback being rejected from film school for being “too entertaining.” We later drive down memory lane as Bill recounts several exciting but terrifying stories of PA'ing on low-budget films around LA—stops include a seven camera setup (all pointed at a map), watching us wrap early on THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (with envy), and learning what a controlled burn is (and maybe isn't). Bill also shares his experience co-showrunning BARRY with Alec Berg, a discussion ranging in topics from “what is a tone meeting?” to which takes actor Henry Winkler consistently nails his performance. At the end, Bill discusses his post-BARRY aspirations and the longevity of classic films that, despite their imperfections, stand tall today on the merits of their craft. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission  Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission

On a recent episode of Team Deakins (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/ava-duvernay-writer-director), director Ava DuVernay shared how she hadn't watch dailies with her cast and crew before, citing that it always seemed too time consuming. Every indie filmmaker can most likely relate. I can. But her upcoming movie, Origin, was shot on 16mm film and dailies were a necessity. Being forced to watch them changed her entire perspective on the concept of watching dailies with the cast and crew to the point where she'll always do it moving forward. This inspired me to shatter my limiting belief that there's simply no time and to do the same moving forward. You should too!

AI's garnered a lot of discussion. Rightfully so. One aspect that I don't hear talked about much is the idea that AI isn't a shortcut to fame and glory for an artist. One MUST still learn the fundamentals of whatever craft they're pursuing. Think of all the advancements in cameras. And yet, none of that matters if the user doesn't understand the basics of cinematography. Here's an example of an amateur with one of the best cameras vs a pro with a low quality camera: https://youtu.be/zSxIbZFsn-g?si=Sc2kDfOzAJHfTnqM.

On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we're sharing the rest of our previously live-streamed conversation between Team Deakins and cinematographer Greig Fraser diving into his work on THE BATMAN. We start by talking all things lighting, and Greig shares how he and his team used non-film light fixtures to achieve a natural look in the film. We later discuss the importance of on-set chemistry and how a great attitude can outweigh experience when crewing. Greig shares how his team worked to match the menace of the Batmobile with the truck in Steven Spielberg's DUEL and how closely he worked with the art department during production. Greig also reveals which light best complimented Zoë Kravitz's makeup, and he pulls into focus the potential applications of an adjustable depth of field in the Volume lighting system.   A link to the images mentioned in the episode can be found here. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission & Falca Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission & @falcagram

On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we're sharing the first half of our live-streamed conversation between Team Deakins and cinematographer Greig Fraser focusing on his work on THE BATMAN. Greig describes to us what drew him to work on the project in the first place and how, even with COVID delays, he and director Matt Reeves still needed more time to prep. Greig reveals the early conversations he had with Matt about the potential applications of the Volume lighting system and how the interactivity of their intended lighting design precluded the use of bluescreen. We later consider the emotional impact of time of day and, in the face of recent technological advances, the irreplaceability of real actors. We discuss the film's strength as a character piece and how those characters informed Greig's design decisions, and we also pull back the cowl on the practicality of superhero capes.   A link to the images mentioned in the episode can be found here. - This episode is sponsored by Falca & Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @falcagram & @dallasfilmcommission

Team Deakins is joined by talented production designer Ruth De Jong (OPPENHEIMER, NOPE, MANCHESTER BY THE SEA). A creative scion of the accomplished production designer Jack Fisk, Ruth explains how Jack recruited her to assist him on THERE WILL BE BLOOD and the subsequent ten year partnership in which he was her mentor. She later reflects on how she's grown after each project as well as how to stay malleable after the train that is production leaves the station. Ruth also describes the invigorating responsibility she felt to deliver on OPPENHEIMER after Christopher Nolan cut days from the schedule to balance the film's budget and the timely encouragement he gave her deep in production. She also shares her experiences working on TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN and how she worked off illustrations and paintings created by David Lynch to build and design the series' many scenes. - This episode is sponsored by TrueCut Motion & Dallas Film Commission & Falca Instagram: @truecutmotion & @dallasfilmcommission & @falcagram - Recommended Viewing: OPPENHEIMER

Team Deakins speaks with actor Benicio del Toro (SICARIO, TRAFFIC, THE FRENCH DISPATCH). Benicio expresses his gratitude to the Stella Adler Studio for serving him as a bastion in which he weathered the storm of rejections he faced early in his career. We discuss the definition of heroes on screen and what it means to play them, and Benicio considers the different demands of acting in superhero films in comparison to more grounded projects. We walk down memory lane remembering working together on SICARIO. Towards the end, we reflect that no production is the same experience and not one was the experience we thought it would be. - This conversation was recorded on May 2, 2023. - This episode is sponsored by Falca & TrueCut Motion & Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @falcagram & @truecutmotion & @dallasfilmcommission

In the beginning, Sarah discusses her early career in acting and how she stepped away to focus on political activism. We later ask Sarah about the challenges transitioning from acting to directing, and she describes realizing that even if she didn't consider herself an expert in the role, she recognized that she was the expert in the stories she was deciding to tell. At one point, Sarah credits director Atom Egoyan with setting the template for creating meaningful experiences making meaningful films which she applies to her own projects. Also revealed: which Sidney Lumet film Sarah found the most helpful to study while working on WOMEN TALKING. - This episode is sponsored by TrueCut Motion & Falca Instagram: @truecutmotion & @falcagram - Recommended Viewing: WOMEN TALKING

Later, we discuss using cinema to think about the problems of one's country, and Santiago expresses his growing interest in exploring Argentinian history on-screen following his experience creating ARGENTINA, 1985. We also touch on the film's global resonance today and its cathartic reception by Argentinean audiences.

I begin by talking about writing the second draft of my fantasy script and the first draft of my 2nd non fiction book (a filmmaking how to book). There's specifics I share about each process, but the similarity between both is the idea of testing ideas in the early stages where it's cheap to try things. After, I talk about fostering a sweet pup named Diamond (she is available for adoption), seeing the new Indiana Jones movie on Screen X and some of the incredible stories from director Matt Reeves on making Cloverfield (shared during his appearance on Team Deakins: https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/matt-reeves-director).

We discuss how Matt's use of visual effects has evolved and the importance of references to maintain a level of reality in fully computer-generated shots. Throughout the episode, Matt reflects on how he spent much of his career learning how to have a career and how every new project is like enrolling in film school all over again.   We hope you enjoy the episode! - This episode is sponsored by Falca & TrueCut Motion Instagram: @falcagram & @truecutmotion - Recommended Viewing: CLOVERFIELD

Mamy dla Was prawdziwą petardę, która dowodzi, że wszystko jest możliwe. W hotelu, w deszczowych Katowicach, przypominających scenerię filmu „Blade Runner”, usiedliśmy do rozmowy z Team Deakins. Dominik pogadał z maestro Sir Rogerem i jego żona James, która powiedziała nam, że miło dla odmiany zostać przepytanym przez podcastera. Z żywą legendą i zdobywcą dwóch Oscarów pogadaliśmy o robionych przez niego zdjęciach, o poszukiwaniu w fotografii tego, co go zaskakuje i rozśmiesza, a także o tym, jakich rad powinni unikać młodzi filmowcy i – rzecz jasna – o podcaście Team Deakins. Zobaczcie i posłuchajcie, dokąd zaprowadziła nas ta inspirująca rozmowa z autorem zdjęć o wielkiej pasji i jeszcze większej skromności. Wierzymy, że przed nami rozmowy z kolejnymi mistrzami z najwyższej półki. Nigdy nie przyszłoby nam do głowy, że odśpiewamy duetowi Team Deakins refren piosenki Monty Pythona „Always look on the bright side of life”. Pytanie, co zaśpiewamy dla Krzysia Nolana – macie jakieś propozycje? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have for you a big surprise which proves that anything is possible. In a hotel in Katowice, the day was gloomy and rainy, as if the scene was stolen from "Blade Runner". We have sat down to talk with Team Deakins. Dominik spoke with maestro Sir Roger and his wife James, who told us it is a nice change to be interviewed by a podcaster. The living legend and two Oscars winner, has told us about photographs he had taken, as well as finding, in photography, the things which amaze and amuse us. He also shared what pieces of advice should young filmmakers avoid, and moreover, about Team Deakins podcast. Now you can join us and explore where this inspiring interview - with the author whose passion is preceded by his humbleness - has taken us. We strongly believe that there more conversations with stars like them ahead of us. We could never have imagined singing chorus of Monty Pythons “Always look on the bright side of us”for Team Deakins. The question is what should we sing for Chris Nolan….any suggestions? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watch-like-mojo/message

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 13 For this week's episode, Team Deakins sits down for a great conversation with the fabulous producer David Valdes (UNFORGIVEN, THE GREEN MILE, AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER). David tells us how he got his career started by sneaking onto a film shoot as a teenager. Eventually he found himself working on the Universal lot as a fireman, a position that doesn't even exist anymore and has little to do with putting out actual fires. Before long, our discussion turned to David's decades long relation with Clint Eastwood, who he made 18 films with. Listen in to hear our wide ranging conversation with one of the great producers in the business!

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 12 This week were are so excited to be joined by camera trainee Monaya Abel (EMPIRE OF LIGHT, THIS IS GOING TO HURT, CITADEL) on the Team Deakins Podcast. This is a great discussion since it's a category not often heard from. As a newcomer to film production, she provides a different perspective and her enthusiasm for the world of filmmaking is infectious. We discuss how she works to keep morale up on set for herself, and her whole team. We also get to hear first-hand what it's like to be the new kid on the block, and what surprised her when she came onto the set of a major production for the very first time. She also got us thinking about some of our early days in the business and how things have changed. With people like Monaya entering the world of production, movie making is in very good hands for the future. Listen in!

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 11 Team Deakins is thrilled to welcome the magnificent sound mixer Stuart Wilson (THE BATMAN, THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, SPECTRE, WORLD WAR Z) to this week's episode of the podcast. We have a great conversation centered around the duties of the sound mixer, and his experiences on some wonderful films. Stuart explains to us how he's developed an instinct for catching great moments in a scene, and all of the nuances involved in capturing an exceptional recording of the human voice. We also drill down on some fun tricks of the trade. Just where do you hide a bulky mic, transmitter, and battery pack on Catwoman's skin-tight catsuit, and how could it possibly involve the NFL? Listen in to find out the answer to that question, and so many more!

Season 2 - Episode 10 For this week's Team Deakins podcast, we sit down with filmmaker Matt Heineman (CARTEL LAND, THE FIRST WAVE, A PRIVATE WAR) for a fascinating and enthralling conversation. Matt tells us how he captured footage, and survived, in two situations where his life was literally on the line. First, among the drug cartel border skirmishes in Cartel Land, and then imbedded in a New York City emergency room for months during the outbreak and initial spread of COVID-19 for The First Wave. We also talk about one of the major aspects of making documentaries that most people never think about: casting. Matt also discusses everything involved in making the leap from directing documentaries over to directing narrative films. Don't miss it!

Season 2 - Episode 9 This week, Team Deakins is so happy to invite documentary filmmaker Alex Pritz (THE TERRITORY, MY DEAR KYRGYSTAN) to join us for a wide ranging conversation. Alex explains to us how his background in science spurred him into filmmaking, and still drives the larger questions his films attempt to ask. We also discuss the moral issues raised by documenting real life events - and perhaps more importantly, real people. And then we get into the importance of being 100 percent honest in grappling with those issues. Eventually, the conversation turns to a field we know almost too much about: how to maintain a healthy work/life balance when your spouse is also in the business!

Season 2 - Episode 8 Team Deakins is so pleased to welcome the fabulous production designer Mark Tildesley (NO TIME TO DIE, PHANTOM THREAD, SUNSHINE) to the podcast for a delightful conversation. Mark unpacks the role of the production designer, and delves into how he works with hyper visual directors like Danny Boyle, and more contemplative, internal directors like Michael Winterbottom. He also sheds some light on how the role of the production designer differs on a small, personal movie compared to a mega blockbuster franchise like James Bond. This is a delightful conversation that drills down on the real world nuts and bolts of filmmaking. Don't miss it!

Season 2 - Episode 7 Team Deakins engage in a wonderful conversation with actor Micheal Ward (BEAUTY, TOP BOY, EMPIRE OF LIGHT). We cover a lot of ground including discussing his experiences on TOP BOY, working in television vs features and his viewpoint as an actor on a set. Micheal speaks of the importance of authenticity and the responsibility he feels as a black actor to provide opportunities behind the camera for others to learn the craft. He also shares some funny tales of auditioning and animal phobia. You won't want to miss this episode!

Season 2, Episode 6 Video Playback Operator Team Deakins gets into the world of the Video Playback Operator with Richard Shean (HARRY POTTER, WAR HORSE, 28 DAYS LATER, SUNSHINE). He explains that the job differs because of the requirements of the specific film as well as the working method of different directors. Richard is also very candid about his long journey to find what he wanted to do and we were impressed by his tenacity in face of drawbacks. He talks about working with Steven Spielberg and Danny Boyle as well. And we learn how the technology has changed the job. We covered a lot in this episode and were thoroughly entertained in the process!

Season 2, Episode 5 Team Deakins has the pleasure in this episode of speaking with a set decorator, Kamlan Man (NO TIME TO DIE, PHANTOM THREAD, SKYFALL).We explore the role of set decorator in depth and learn all kinds of things. We learn how small items can tell the story of a character, the steps for properly dressing a location and compare dressing built sets vs locations. We also discuss the set decorator's relationship with the props department and definitely dive into the conversation of using practical lights and her relationship with the cinematographer. A full look at the job of a set decorator!

Season 2 Episode 4 MAT BERGEL Props Team Deakins is so pleased to welcome props maestro Mat Bergel (ROBIN HOOD, HUGO, TRAINSPOTTING) to the podcast. Mat starts this conversation by detailing how he got into the movie business through managing restaurants, and landed in the props department. He explains why some of the hardest work for the props team involve eating, drinking, and smoking scenes. We talk about the different kinds of acting styles that relate to props, and why some actors latch onto them, while others seem to dismiss them out of hand. Then things get exciting with tales of jostled Faberge eggs, missing Rolex watches, and a stolen Picasso! You won't want to miss this one!

Season 2 Episode 3 TOBY JONES Actor In this episode, Team Deakins sits down with the talented actor, Toby Jones (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, INFAMOUS, THE HUNGER GAMES, ATOMIC BLONDE). We touch on a lot of subjects during the conversation including the all important relationship between an actor and a director. We talk about what an actor needs from a director and the necessity of sharing a common vision with the director. Toby also speaks about the responsibility and the freedom of playing figures from history. And we drill down to some practical points such as how to use the props without relying on them and the different processes of different actors. A very articulate look into the work of an actor that you won't want to miss!

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 2  ROD MCLEAN - ART DIRECTOR Team Deakins looks into the role of the art director with the talented Rod McLean (BLADERUNNER 2049, ZERO DARK THIRTY, 1917).

On a new installment of their ‘They Won For That?' series, Nick and Sophia dive into a new category to talk about one of the best working cinematographers today, Roger Deakins. Before discussing his two Oscar wins, they talk about his style, thirteen other nominations, and notable works they think he should've been up for. Then, they wonder why it took him so long to grab that Oscar gold for ‘Blade Runner 2049' and ‘1917' (12:12). Lastly, would they swap either of these wins out or give him other deserved accolades? Nicole would surely agree that these other picks truly are dazzling images on a huge silver screen (28:59).Team Deakins podcast: https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @oscarwildpodFollow Nick @sauerkraut27Follow Sophia @sophia_cimMusic: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich

In this episode, Peter tells us how his father's career in the industry influenced his aspirations and his taste in films– he loves watching and working on musicals. Peter shares stories from working on the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and Birdman, working with Gordon Willis, and doing smoke on the set of Ridley Scott's The Duellists. Together we talk about what makes a successful assistant director, having a big first day on set, the many factors that dictate the shooting schedule, and even car work. Peter also sneaks in a few questions about 1917!  

"We're in the endgame now," as the Marvel quote goes. Yup, my team and I are a month away from flying to Colombia to film my 2nd movie. It's exciting for sure, though there's still lots to prepare. In this edition of my vlog, I discuss editing the green screen footage we shot a week ago, the VFX process, the administrative side of things, plus how I'm getting prepared mentally and physically. I reference a few things throughout this episode, so here's all the links to those if you want to dig deeper: Team Deakins episode (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/darius-wolski-cinematographer), No Hurry No Pause philosophy (https://philsvitek.com/no-hurry-no-pause/), Playtest short film (https://youtu.be/qGbw1So77yg) & the Playtest Q&A (https://youtu.be/mVhgNV8H-kY).

We officially began production on my 2nd feature film! Well, sorta, kinda... We filmed all the green screen stuff here in LA because it's easier to do here rather than in Colombia where the majority of filming will take place. Also, we filmed this a month and change in advance, just to wet our feet a little AND because these shots will require the most time to complete in terms of the final sequence in the movie. This is what I talk about in this episode of my vlog. But before I fully do, I share things in the week leading up to the shoot. I talk about learning more about make-up and selecting looks for the actors, just like we did with wardrobe. I share how I revised the script yet again to make it tighter/better. And I share a guiding principle for this entire venture, which is I want this to be "better" than my first film AND that it already is. I also talk about Alwin Kuchler (cinematographer for THE MAURITANIAN, STEVE JOBS, DIVERGENT, etc) and how on a recent episode of Team Deakins (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/alwin-kuchler-cinematographer) he shared a quote that I absolutely love.

There are many who hold onto this limiting belief that having more money will make a movie better—whether it be a director, producer, actor, cinematographer, etc. Sometimes it might. But other times it can in fact ruin a film's spirit. Famous movies like El Mariachi, Following, Chungking Express, Primer and Coherence would not have benefited from more cash. So stop thinking like this if you're strapped for cash and resources and instead learn to embrace solving solutions with creativity instead. That's what I discuss in this episode.

EPISODE 150 - MÁTYÁS ERDÉLY - Cinematographer Team Deakins speaks with Hungarian cinematographer, Mátyás Erdély (SON OF SAUL, SUNSET, THE NEST) in this episode. Matyas has shot in the US, UK and Hungary and says he doesn't feel there is much difference in his work wherever he works. He shares that he feels it is soul crushing to take a project just for the money if it is something you don't connect with. He also goes into detail about his collaboration with Lazlo Nemes (SON OF SAUL, SUNSET) (Episode 113 of Team Deakins) and how they began thinking they would shoot SON OF SAUL on Steadicam but how and why changed their minds. He also shares how they chose lenses with the guiding core idea of using the limitation of visual information by focus. And we learned how he and Lazlo approached their next collaboration on the film SUNSET differently. A great conversation with a talented cinematographer! RECOMMENDED EPISODE VIEWING: Son of Saul

EPISODE 123 - DION BEEBE - Cinematographer In this episode, Team Deakins speaks with cinematographer, Dion Beebe (CHICAGO, COLLATERAL, INTO THE WOODS, MARY POPPINS RETURNS). He starts by telling us about his failure as a focus puller and then shooting a film as a DP for the first time at age 24! We talk about how it's hard when you are starting out to consider compromising, but as you learn more about the collaborative nature of filmmaking, it becomes easier, as well as the idea that getting worked up on a set will never help you achieve your goal. Dion speaks about the difficult balance of knowing when and how you need to work with what you're given and when to stand firm. We also cover learning to light, prepping for a film, and setting the look with the director. Dion also shares his experiences of working with Rob Marshall who taught him a lot about musicals and Ang Lee, shooting with a high frame rate. We cover a lot of ground in this episode!

EPISODE 117 - PETE CAVACIUTI - Steadicam operator Team Deakins speaks with Steadicam operator, Pete Cavaciuti (1917, EYES WIDE SHUT, NOW YOU SEE ME 2). Of course, we learn a lot about what the Steadicam is, what training is needed, what you can do with it and what you can’t, and that being a Steadicam operator is a way of life! Pete also shares his experiences with Stanley Kubrick on the film EYES WIDE SHUT and talks about his most challenging shot. He also talks about his experiences on KUNDUN, SKYFALL, 1917, and BLADE RUNNER 2049. A great look into a very specific skill!

EPISODE 109 - TURNING THE TABLES - 1917 Team Deakins gets the tables turned on us led by esteemed still photographers, Alex Webb (Episode 30) and Rebecca Norris Webb. They ask us questions about the film 1917. We talk about the one-shot concept and how we worked to not make it a gimmick. We examine the choice of camera and lens and we compare this choice in still work and motion picture. We talk about collaboration, the last shot of 1917 and the trees that bookends the movie. We also speak of the impossibility to explain the power of a photo. We even got into a little discussion of the lighting of the film Chinatown! It’s a fun episode you won’t want to miss! RECOMMENDED EPISODE VIEWING: 1917

Cinematographer Roger Deakins (1917, Blade Runner 2049, Shawshank Redemption, Sicario, No Country For Old Men) is regarded as one of best directors of photography around. Why? People say it's his visual aesthetic. And they're not wrong, but why they think that goes deeper. Roger shared his thoughts on this on an episode of Team Deakins where he said, "Actors are the key of what you're going for otherwise you just have a series of pictures." Therein lies the key. It is this notion that I unpack and how I apply it to my own work. More importantly, how you can too.

There's times during filming where a line of dialogue is just not working. But how will you know when that's the case? Easy, the actor is stumbling over the line. Too often we blame the actor but generally, it's actually a sign of bad writing. The dialogue line in question may not be true to the character so it feels forces. Perhaps it's some other reason. But once you realize the true cause of a bad line read isn't the actor, but the line itself, you can diagnose the problem. This is helpful for the producer, director, actor and writer. Ideally, it's a problem that would be addressed after table reads or rehearsals, but worse case you can still fix it on set. So I hope this helps enhance your film. FYI this tip is something I picked up from listening to the Team Deakins podcast (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/) which I highly recommend to any filmmaker.
