First of all I would like to thank all the followers of this blog for the keen interest in cinema shown daily in this community, I feel very lucky to be followed by people who are as passionate about the craft of film making as I am.
Since the inception of this blog I have constantly received questions which deserve attention that don’t directly relate to the cinematography format. There has also been a call for more content from this blog, which I have struggled to find a format for that fits what I have been doing so far.
Until Now… (cue music)
What I am hoping to start in the new year is a podcast dedicated to all things movie and film school related. It will be hosted by myself and other colleagues of mine and include guests from different departments, taking questions from here on this blog, discussions surrounding current films, anything and everything relating to attending film school and much more.
What I need from YOUisQUESTIONS!
Let me know what kind of content you want discussed, way in on oppinions you agree and disagree with, please inundate me with messages about content you would love to listen too.
Our first episode, which we are hoping to record in the next few days, will be an episode focused on Film School. All of the hosts, including myself, are currently attending film school and there are ton of people who are seeking information about what this type of schooling is like.
so if you have questions about this, ideas for other episodes, or think its a terrible idea, let me know, send me a message, I love talking to people and I would love to hear about the content you want created for you.
Happy New Year and expect and update soon…
Dylan

Aspect Ratio - 2.35 : 1
Delivery- Digital Intermediate 4K
Notable Strengths – Instead of strengths I am just going to take a moment of appreciation for Roger Deakins, because there are no weaknesses in the cinematography of this film. Deakins has displayed again his mastery of contemporary cinematography and camera systems, but has gone above and beyond with the thermal scenes and ambition on the shooting of the action sequences.
I know oscars don’t mean much to professionals who get to do this every day, and his work might not be as flashy as shooting 70mm sensors or reviving new film stock, but if you were asked to name one person to write the textbook 21st century cinematography, it would have to be Deakins, and I hope he gets rewarded for his fantastic work in his lifetime.
