W hen the makers of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire came to deciding who they were gonna call to lens their new film, dialling in Eric Steelberg was an easy decision. Serving as DOP on 2021’s Afterlife , and a lifelong fan of the original movie, he couldn’t wait to strap on his proton pack and reprise his role in the franchise. Turn to page 12, where he spills the beans about putting his own spin on the beloved films. We also talk All of Us Strangers with DOP Jamie Ramsay, discovering how he helped deliver a gut-punch portrayal of grief and loneliness in one of the most talked-about films of 2024 so far; that’s on page 32. Other productions in the spotlight include new MCU series Echo and thoughtful BBC documentary Silverback , which explores the plight of endangered gorillas. Elsewhere in the issue, we look at the craft of the colourist, examining the art of the grade, the tools of the trade, and the constantly evolving dynamics with DOPs. Hear what leading professionals in the field had to say on page 24. If you’ve ever wondered which lens top cinematographers would pick if they could only use one for the rest of their days, turn to page 37, where DOPs including Adam Etherington and Tim Cragg tell us about their holy grail glass, how they use it and how to choose the best lens for your next project. We’ve also got an in-depth dive into the upcoming BSC Expo, a look at the aerial team’s work on Godzilla x Kong , and a huge round-table discussion digging into the virtual production skills gap. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
