In this episode, we like to get deep into the craft of
filmmaking, talking about the actual ins and outs of making
films. Film has always been a visual medium. Starting with
the Lumiere brothers, the genius of silent film stars like
Chaplin and my personal favorite, Buster Keaton, wowed
audiences with what could be captured by this new device, the
movie camera. More than 100 years later, the camera and
mastery of it is still a vital key to filmmaking as a craft.
Our guest today is a master at that. He is a cinematographer
and director of photography whose credits include the hit
series DEXTER and BURN NOTICE. Feature films that range from
STRIPTEASE, REALITY BITES, and PASSENGER 57 (underrated in my
opinion) and one of my childhood favorites, FLIGHT OF THE
NAVIGATOR, as well as numerous music videos for JANET
JACKSON, GLORIA ESTEFAN, RICKY MARTIN, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, and CELINE DION.
