  1. Hi, This question probably applies both to DOPs and Directors, and its a very general question, but something I'm trying to learn more about: - What is the process or the tools you use to create a visual style to suit your script/characters/mood etc.... For instance, if I say the character's world is dark and isolated because she's struggling to look after her son, while she is battling a life illness. How do you translate this into a tangible visual thing? I understand the basics, use of lighting, lenses, costume, setting, colour etc... but I can't seem to envisage a strong vision still. Can anyone suggest any tips? Thanks!
  2. Hi Michael, Visited your website and overall you've used it brilliantly to demonstrate your work. As a director I was impressed by your knowledge and methodology, especially when it came to lighting and set ups. I agree the stills do look better, but they always will. I guess the only way to try improve the quality of the file is when exporting it to keep compression down and export it as a mp4, if thats still an issue. As for the reel, it was good, but from the stills and other information on your site, I didnt think it made the most of how you use colour and light. There were some great shots involving colour and light which I think are your strengths (just my quick impression) but there were some shots, the one that stood out was that elevator scene film where the lighting was flatter than most of your other work. But overall, I was really impressed and if I had a budget and lived in the US I'd be keen to get you in on my projects.
