This month we sit down with the legendary Robert Elswit, ASC, to find out what went into crafting Ripley’s stunning, noir-inspired cinematography, plus get the lowdown on sci-fi smash 3 Body Problem. We also throw it back to one of 2023’s biggest TV events, The Last of Us, hearing how pandemic restrictions necessitated new ways of working – with impressive results. Elsewhere, we explore the latest in lighting technology, pick the brains (and kitbags) of four top gaffers, get the lowdown on Cine Gear LA Expo, report on our favourite finds from NAB Show and discover how #GALSNGEAR has been driving change in the industry.
