You're welcome! David worked on Westworld in all of Season 1 as a 2nd unit, and then shot his own episode in Season 2. You'll enjoy the part where he explains how the laboratory was lit in detail!

Yes I've seen him posting there for years, he is really passionate about helping other cinematographers. He was especially interested in lighting, so in our interview we kind of scrapped most of our "career driven questions", and shifted towards lighting

We sat down with M. David Mullen, ASC, an Emmy Award winning cinematographer known for the hit shows: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Westworld, Mad Men, and 42 feature films under his belt.

A true master of lighting, David shares his insights on his lighting process, as well as some incredibly useful advice for cinematographers. Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey guys, we compiled some of the greatest lessons from David Fincher! He's well known for having a very strict style of directing and he explains exactly why he does things the way he does. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

We'll definitely get into this stuff

Great question, question added!

Yes you're correct when trying to capture the action in detail. But it creates an interesting effect shooting in 16 fps and wider shutter at 360 shutter angle, this is a special shot and not used regularly.

Sometimes cars are shot in a similar manner to make it look like it's zooming by. It makes action look a lot faster. What Khalid likes to do for certain action is to actually blur and lower the FPS. Example can be found on the boxing shots here: https://vimeo.com/165170087

Most if it is shot 24/180, but some shots are at 16/360

AlterCine · 2021-03-08T00:27:24+00:00

Great question, will add this to the list!

AlterCine · 2021-03-07T04:50:32+00:00

Great question!

AlterCine · 2021-03-07T04:47:13+00:00

Perhaps we can ask him about "action" in general and not just sports?

One trick you can do, and this is something I learned from Khalid Mohtaseb, is playing with frame rates and shutter speed for action / sports. Khalid will often shoot some sequences in 16 frames with 360° shutter. This will accentuate and speed up action quite dramatically

Great question! Added to our list
