CHELSEA FEARNLEY DEPUTY EDITOR Chelsea Fearnley I have noticed that two things happen when you live through a period of rapid change and uncertainty: there’s a surge of artistic creativity and there’s the underdogs who come into their own. We witness the rise of cinema zooms, as virus precautions gobble up precious production hours and DOPs look for lens solutions that can provide speed without compromise. We spotlight the artists who are being recognised for their work, with exclusive interviews from cinematographers presenting at this year’s Camerimage and a behind- the-scenes peek at Schitt’s Creek , the comedy show that received a glowing send-off at this year’s Emmy Awards. Our shoot stories cover the productions that made headlines for their controversial images and subject matter, and our aerial special takes a sky dive into the key players helping the industry get back off the ground.
