Mandy Walker ACS ASC on Mulan
A history-making collaboration, for now at least, brings the live-action version of Disney’s 1998 animation Mulan into 2020 – with Australian DP Mandy Walker leading the visuals.
She tells us about linking up with Director Niki Caro, bringing elegance to epic battle scenes that were shot in-camera, and where the development of the ‘Petzval’ and ‘Chi’ lenses proved fruitful.
Sean Bobbitt BSC on The Rhythm Section
Working under Director Reed Morano ASC – an accomplished cinematographer herself – Sean Bobbitt BSC captured the look on thriller The Rhythm Section.
He reveals his thoughts on the great appeal to work on this project, the common language he developed with Morano, and why he would choose the Xtal Xpress 50mm lense for life.
