We may as well call this ‘The Academy Award’ issue because it’s stinking with Hollywood glamour. Our production story is Chloé Zhao’s transcendent Nomadland, which is currently in the running for best picture at the Oscars, with the film’s DOP, Joshua James Richards also set to take home a prize. We speak to Richards about how he shot this road movie’s unbelievably gorgeous cinematography, using an Arri Amira and a set of Zeiss Ultra Primes. Nevertheless, the race for a coveted Oscar remains changeable until all nominees are announced officially, so, we catch up with four other DOPs also in contention for a gilded statuette. What’s more, we explore ACES, the weird and wonderful colour science developed by the Academy for reasons you might not have expected. Then, outside of Academy-related content, we take a look at the battery workhorses making our industry tick; and at the companies making remote work a breeze – an absolute essential with on-set social distancing still in place. There’s also a review of a new camera from Blackmagic, a company that’s never done anything by half measure, this one even records in 12K.
