The latest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, features at interview with ILM’s VFX supervisor John Knoll, discussing the applications (both real and potential) of LED walls in VFX shots, and how the technology was used on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
We ask whether John prefers to work on VFX shots grounded in reality versus in a fictional world, and John reveals how he explains the word “better” to collaborators. At the end of our discussion, we learn John always prioritizes the quality of an image over an opportunity to finish an image quicker.
The Team Deakins podcast is an ongoing conversation between acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins and James Deakins, his collaborator, about cinematography, the film business and whatever other questions are submitted. We start with a specific question and end….who knows where!
Happy listening!
