  1. KH,

     

    When I pitch stories to PR folks, they seem to still place a higher premium on print content when deciding whether to grant an interview request, even though an online story would seemingly have a much longer shelf life. I have a digital only subscription to ASC Mag so when I do a story for them I at least know I'll get to download a PDF of the story. I get PDFs of ICG Magazine as well as a member of 600. So while I don't have physical copies of a lot of my print pieces, I do have PDFs of most of them. Might be something to ask for in the future - seems like I get a better follow-through ratio when asking for PDFs as opposed to getting an outlet to ship me a mag I have a story in.

     

    Cheers,

    Matt

  2. Like the title says, I've reached 100 entries in the interview column I write for Filmmaker Magazine, which seemed like a good time to share the link on here again. The last few months have featured talks with Matthew Libatique (A Star is Born), Sean Porter (Green Book), Joe Anderson (Old Man and the Gun), Linus Sandgren (First Man), and Michael Simmonds (Halloween).

     

    In the new two weeks I'll have new interviews with Lukasz Zal (Cold War), Sean Bobbitt (Widows), Robbie Ryan (The Favourite), James Laxton (If Beale Street Could Talk), and Greg Gardiner (Elf).

  3. Wanted to share this interview I did with Greig Fraser for Filmmaker Magazine about his work on Lion and Rogue One. Lion was shot on the Alexa XT M (at least the India-lensed portion) with Panavision PVintage lenses. The Star Wars prequel is the first movie shot entirely on the Alexa 65 and used some of the same Panavision Ultra 70 lenses employed on The Hateful Eight. He also talks about using Digital Sputnik LEDs extensively on both films.

  4. Wanted to share the links to a few recent DP interviews I've put together both for my blog and Filmmaker Magazine:

     

    Grand Budapest Hotel DP Robert Yeoman (35mm)

     

    While We’re Young DP Sam Levy (Arri Alexa)

     

    It Follows DP Mike Gioulakis (Arri Alexa)

     

    Cake DP Rachel Morison (Arri Alexa)

     

    Spring DP Aaron Moorhead (Red Epic)

     

    And lastly, an interview with steadicam operator Larry McConkey focusing on his work on Goodfellas for the film's 25th anniversary.

  5. Just posted an interview with cinematographer Hillary Spera about her film Black Rock on my blog, Deep Fried Movies.

     

    The movie is in the vein of a gender-reversed Deliverance and stars Lake Bell (In a World), Katie Aselton (The League) and Kate Bosworth. It was shot on a remote island in Maine on an Arri Alexa.

     

    The interview includes Spera breaking down the decision making process behind several individual frames from the movie.

     

    Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://bit.ly/19hPa9R

  6. I recently put up an interview with the cinematographer of the horror film You're Next - Andrew Palermo - on my blog Deep Fried Movies. The movie - which is still in theaters - was shot on a Red One MX with Zeiss Ultra Primes back in the early months of 2011.

     

    It's not an American Cinematographer Magazine-level of technical detail, but I thinks its specific enough about the craft that some of you folks might find it worthwhile. There aren't really that many sources for DP interviews out there and I'm hoping to add many more to the blog. Check it out here.
