StudioBinder dropped a video today (Learning to Light) with Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins (1917, Blade Runner 2049) that is outstanding. They’ve been cranking out great videos for years, so if you’re not familiar with them check out their YouTube channel (which to date has over 250 videos).
Below are three StudioBinder videos featuring Deakins.
P.S. And Roger Deakins also has a podcast now called Team Deakins. Maybe start with the episode featuring writer/director Joel Coen.

OMG! My friend Michael introduced me to the film 1917; incredible is too small a word to describe the genius of this creation.
The cinematography provided an opportunity to watch a master; talk about an art history lesson of images reflecting artists Dali and Parrish. This blog posting, especially the middle Youtube reference, is a life-long lesson in movement, lighting and control.
