On the Cover
Seamus McGarvey BSC ASC on Bad Times At The El Royale

Having graced our cover back in January (#85) with The Greatest Showman, Seamus McGarvey BSC ASC’s latest production, Bad Times At The El Royale, takes centre stage in Issue 89.

He tells us why “film is for life” and vital in capturing the movie’s recurring red tones, as well as explaining why shooting exteriors in a studio proved advantageous, and how gaffer Stuart Hegarty’s flexible lighting plan aided production.

Another former cover star, Jess Hall BSC (#80 – Ghost In The Shell) talks us through Serenity – described by one of its producers as an “existential fishing thriller”.
