Legendary DP Darius Khondji Has Some Great Advice for Cinematographers on a Budget
8 years ago
I remember working with Darius on set in Rome for a commercial for Nintendo Cube... that was more than 10 years ago... the silence and magic that floated around him was impressive, everyone knew this guy was a magician, even the catering guys and the extras knew him. Thw Director, the actors, everyone knew that something beyond the ordinary was taking place... he is a luminous star - wherever he goes these is light. The space around the actors was huge, so that he could take wider shots even with longer lenses... There wasn't a huge amount of kit on set - exept for lights... and that I guess encouraged creativity and ideas rather than depending on toys like you often find on sets nowdays... the less lenses you have, the more you will think of ways to make every shot work, I think...
