American Cinematographer recently interviewed Robert Richardson, ASC, who shared insights into the vital role that colorists play in filmmaking. He drew from his experiences working alongside leading colorists, Stefan Sonnenfeld, Stephen Nakamura, and Yvan Lucas, on the films 'Emancipation,' 'The Aviator,' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' respectively.

I think there is beauty everywhere. U can look to any ordinary objects and find beauty in it. It depends on where u see it from. Be an Observer not a Judge .
🎥 In an increasingly virtual film production scene, prop design remains one of the last strongholds of practical filmmaking, and as such is one of my favorites. 👍🏽 Check out this Containment Officer Night Vision mask I made to send chills down Hughie's spine in "The Control Room." 🥶
I love stuff like this, so if you've ever made or designed an awesome prop like this, comment below! I'd love to see it!

Directors Note:
How dark do you need to go to defeat evil and how much of your soul will be lost? In this short film, I wanted to explore this existential question around the philosophy of GOOD vs EVIL...Can good truly defeat evil without becoming bad itself? In creating this, I didn't want it to only be a visual medium, I wanted sound to be just as important, a full apocalyptic environment.
Cinematography Note:
I knew I wanted this set in a moody environment with a lot of contrast. The space had white walls which meant light placement and composition were everything. The whole piece was shot on the @sonyalpha A7IV, and lensed with a 40mm and 65mm F2.8. Since the location isn't really important, I was able to maximize the tighter focal lengths to feel like we're present in the room right next to the character.
Lighting:
The goal was to attain soft lighting that is true to an indoor tungsten scene classic in films. Huge thanks to @zhiyun_tech & @rebeccazhu97 for providing me with the MOLUS 100B light, this thing is so powerful that I only used it at 1%…Yes! ONE PERCENT with a reflector pointing at an unbleached muslin for diffusion. I highly recommend this light for content creators and filmmakers or anyone for that matter. A full review of the lights will be up on my YouTube soon!

During a recent walk, I filmed a seemingly blocked and narrow road. This made me reflect and refresh my memory on how perspective in cinema can change our understanding of a scene. What appears limited can, from another angle, reveal depth and vastness. This principle is crucial in filmmaking, where every angle tells a different story.
