I’m so glad my teacher recommended us this podcast because I can put myself in the shoes of a cinematographer and better understand my role and my job. It’s like getting to learn from the inside of the industry and experiencing these little situation or inconvenience myself.
As a cinematographer, why would you not want to be associated with some type of content (horror, gore). Ain’t the goal being successful and not miss on opportunities? or is more like a personal thing.
