Ep. 44 - Greig Fraser (Oscar-Winning Cinematographer) talks Project Hail Mary, Dune, The Batman, The Beatles, Cinematography, Lighting, Lenses, Matt Reeves, Movies, Cinema, IMAX 70mm, Film-Out Process
TWO IMPORTANT NOTES: Since this interview was done via Zoom, in two different countries, there are some expected connection issues. Greig Fraser was nice enough to record solo audio on his end so that, in the event that the connection dropped, we could fill that audio in. Therefore, there will be times where you will hear his audio change slightly as I take his solo audio to cover the connection drop. It's only a few times during the episode but I wanted to point that out. You will also notice times where Greig's image freezes, slightly, while his audio is catching up. In those moments, you can still hear what Greig is saying. The second note is that when I spoke about the cinematographer of The Batman 2, I couldn't remember who had been announced. According to reports, Eric Messerschmidt will be the cinematographer on Matt Reeves' sequel.Episode 44 of "On Film...With Kevin McCarthy".
