Get ready for your new favorite podcast! The powerhouse couple, Roger and James Deakins, have teamed up to bring you Team Deakins, a podcast where they discuss all things filmmaking and answer your burning questions.
In this podcast, the acclaimed cinematographer, Roger Deakins, and his longtime collaborator and spouse, James Ellis Deakins, dive into the business of filmmaking, cinematography, and the creative process. They even bring on guests, like former Executive VP at Deluxe and Managing Director of eFilm, Beverly Wood, to discuss the journey of film to digital and the process of filmmaking from dailies to release.
Already, there are several episodes available, covering topics like the beginning of their filmmaking careers, working together as a couple, scouting locations, practical lighting, and composition.
But why start with the first episode? As their cohort, Matt, suggested, it makes sense to start at the beginnings. In this episode, they discuss where they started and what their path was. It’s a casual conversation that sets up the style of the podcast in general.
And if you want to light like Roger Deakins, check out their tutorial on how to build a $150 ring light just like the ones he uses on feature films.
