The Wandering Dp Podcast

I am sorry, I made a mistake. I never should have said we would get back on track during last week's podcast.  It might have been true when I said it but it certainly isn't now. This week on Episode #444 I am continuing the Cinematography Series where I am trying out to explain why all of […] The post The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #444 – Cinematography 201 appeared first on Cinematography Podcast & Tutorials.

I had originally intended this to be a Q+A Episode but like always it devolved into a rant about finding employment in this business, how to lower your chances (or raise them) of getting fired on set, and a whole slew of other topics. I will eventually get to the Q+A stuff but it certainly didn't […] The post The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #439 – The Rambling Man #2 appeared first on Cinematography Podcast & Tutorials.

This week on the podcast we are breaking down a commercial that had quite a bit of car interior/exterior dialogue which meant we could highlight what a huge benefit it is to have a location you can move when shooting day exteriors. We basically followed the sun with the angle of the car which meant with […] The post The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #438 – The Advantages of a Movable Location appeared first on Cinematography Podcast & Tutorials.

A few episodes back we took a quick pass at the results from this year's cinematography survey but, as predicted, I got side tracked and spent the majority of the episode rambling. This week on the podcast I am taking another stab at getting through the survey responses and although I didn't get to many of […] The post The Wandering DP Podcast: Episode #432 – 2024 Cinematography Survey (Part #2) appeared first on Cinematography Podcast & Tutorials.
