L ike many film fans, we’ve been hit by Dune fever lately – so we jumped at the chance to sit down with the film’s Oscar-winning cinematographer Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC to find out all about the tech and tricks at work on the hit sci-fi sequel. From infrared imagery to Unreal Engine’s crucial role in pre- production – and of course bringing that unbelievable sandworm riding scene to life – turn to page 10 to unpack the film’s most striking visuals with the man behind the camera. Also catching our attention in recent weeks has been Love Lies Bleeding : A24’s steamy thriller from rising star Rose Glass. DOP Ben Fordesman talks us through the film’s slick cinematography on page 20. Elsewhere in the issue, we catch up with Adriano Goldman, DOP across the entirety of The Crown ’s six seasons. He discusses the evolving visual language of the iconic series over on page 60. Sustainability is in the spotlight too this month: a panel of experts address how we can collectively pave the way to a more sustainable future for the industry on page 46, while The Flint ’s Neal Romanek delves into the promise and challenges of running sets on zero-emissions energy on page 54. We also get the lowdown on this month’s Media Production & Technology Show, put the Sony BURANO through its paces, take a look at how we can strengthen on-set safety, bring news on the best new kit to hit shelves and lots more. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
