Pat Scola, ASC: Grit, Restraint, and Firelight in The Death of Robin Hood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Death of Robin Hood is Pat Scola's third film with Michael Sarnoski, made an hour outside Belfast on a production budget of around eleven million, somewhere between the scrappiness of Pig and the scale of A Quiet Place: Day One. Sarnoski wanted grit, and Scola is precise about the word. He does not mean film grain. "Grit comes from restraint and control," he says, and a large part of the job now is "the choices you decide not to make." The fight in the mud, Robin and a peasant trying to drow
Adam Newport-Berra, ASC: Four Faces in One Apartment for The Invite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Invite, Olivia Wilde's comedy for A24, plays out almost entirely inside one San Francisco apartment, where a couple played by Wilde and Seth Rogen host an evening that goes sideways with visitors played by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. Adam Newport-Berra, ASC photographed it on 35mm, in story order, on a Los Angeles soundstage with a single day of exteriors in San Francisco. The brief he set himself was that one enclosed space should feel, in his words, like a landscape, and never like a
Gustav Danielsson, FSF: Chasing Dusk in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gustav Danielsson, FSF got the job by text message. "Do you wanna shoot a sequel to Game of Thrones?" arrived from director Owen Harris, who had made San Junipero with him, and it landed while Danielsson was at home rewatching the original series with his kids and buying them the board games. He cut short a show in Sweden to take it. The result, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is HBO's return to Westeros at a fraction of the usual scale, and it earned him a 2026 Emmy nomination for cinematograph
James Laxton, ASC: Shooting Beef, Season 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
James Laxton, ASC came to Beef for its second season as the one new voice in a room that had already made something people loved. His job, as he saw it, was to carry forward what Beef is at the level of shot structure, whose shoulder the camera sits over, whose scene it is, how far back the wide holds, while telling a different story than Season 1. He and host Jared Levy get into the season's organizing idea: four couples as four seasons, spring to winter, an ensemble led by Oscar Isaac, Carey M
Tari Segal, ASC: Three Days on the Strip for Margo's Got Money Troubles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Tari Segal, ASC, took over the Las Vegas block of Margo's Got Money Troubles, the A24 series for Apple TV adapted by David E. Kelley from Rufi Thorpe's novel, she had three days and a working casino floor on which to extend a look someone else had established. It is the episode that earned her an ASC Award nomination, and in this conversation with host Jared Levy she is candid that the shoot ran closer to triage than choreography. She walks through the problems in order. Faking a dead chand
