On the Cover
Robert Richardson ASC on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

In our latest cover feature, Robert Richardson ASC speaks to us about teaming up with Quentin Tarantino for a fifth time to produce the hotly-anticipated Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Festival.

ASC Lifetime Achievement recipient Richardson tells us about his love of capture on celluloid film, keeping the capture grounded in the film’s 1969 era and why the movie is so “very, very, very Quentin”.

John Mathieson BSC on Pokémon Detective Pikachu

Having commenced on Mary Queen Of Scots, cinematographer John Mathieson BSC took on an all-together different look to display videogame movie Pokémon Detective Pikachu.

He reveals his thoughts on the title’s Blade Runner-esque visuals, how traditional film proved feasible and profitable over digital, and the beauty of baking-in the look on-set rather than spending time in a DIT tent.

Caleb Deschanel ASC on Never Look Away and The Lion King

The American DP took on two wildly different experiences to lense 2019 Oscar nominee Never Look Away and Disney live-action remake The Lion King.

Deschanel’s fascinating insights reveal the inventive and immersive VR filmmaking techniques deployed on capturing the latter, and how he set about presenting the emotions of 30 years of tumultuous German history for the former title.
