Cinematographer Christopher Doyle Minces No Words and Hates 'Life of Pi'

Unabashedly brash cinematographer Christopher Doyle talks to Artinfo about everything from filming Ai Weiwei ("He is the great male star of the future of Chinese cinema. Please quote me. He’s the George Clooney of the new wave.") to why he thinks Life of Pi didn't deserve to win an Oscar for Best Cinematography ("You give an award to a totally digitized image...The award is given to the technicians, to the producers, it’s not to the cinematographer.") He says about his own philosophy, "I love film to be challenged to do something that engages with a different generation who have had different visual experiences, and different life experiences of course. If we think we have something to say, let’s f***ing get out there and talk about it."

First Impressions of the Sony F65

Cinematographer Affonso Beato gives his first impressions of shooting with the Sony F65, writing, "I [initially] grabbed the available literature on the new camera capabilities, like its 8K sensor delivering 4K 16bit RAW images. Also I read about the ACES (Academy Cinema Encoding System) workflow, now a SMPTE standard and the highest level pipeline to maintain the original quality of the images that F65 cameras deliver. All this literature could not impress me enough compared with the emotion that I had seeing [the] images projected in a 4K DI suite at Color Works...I felt immediately in love with [the] results."

Linus Sandgren on Using Vintage Lenses and Film to Shoot How to Destroy Angels Music Video

Cinematographer Linus Sandgren talks about using film, ARRI cameras, and vintage anamorphic lenses to achieve the nostalgic look of How to Destroy Angels' music video for "Ice Age."  Says Sandgren, "[Director] John Hillcoat really appreciates cinematography and he liked the idea of shooting on those very imperfect LOMO lenses that have their own, unique characteristics. And it was a very good combination with the ALEXA because these lenses don't open up very wide at all, but you can shoot with the ALEXA at [EI] 1600 without it looking 'grainy' at all."

Shooting 'Phil Spector'

American Cinematographer talks to Juan Ruiz-Anchia about shooting David Mamet's latest, the HBO biopic Phil Spector. Says Ruiz-Anchia, "One thing about David’s writing, for a cinematographer, is that he is very expressive. His writing suggests many different images to the cinematographer, who then has to make a visual interpretation of the whole thing. I love that kind of challenge, which is why I enjoy working with him.” Read more here.
