On the show this week we sit down with cinematographer Ula Pontikos BSC to discuss her latest work on season 2 of Russian Doll.

Ula shares her approach to prep, finding the right collaborators, and how she divides her time between the narrative and commercial worlds.

Be sure to check out more of Ula's work at the links below.

Advanced Cinematography: Location Lighting

I told you a new course was coming and it's finally here.

It has been awesome hearing feedback from everyone that has already sped through the content and I am excited it has been as well received as it has.

In the new course I introduce my method for approaching cinematography from the most basic level and lay out each decision along the way. When I think about the work I break every possible scenario into one of 5 buckets and go from there.

Doing so allows me to focus more time on what I can do and less on what is not as effective. In this latest course we go over one of these 5 scenarios and I explain how I use a system to allow me to deliver the best results.

If you are interested in seeing the evolution of my approach to cinematography I highly suggest you check it out:

This week on the Patreon Breakdown we are actually looking at Young Wallander as opposed to just saying we are going to break it down. There was a bit of a mix up on Patreon last week so we should be back to our regularly scheduled program this week.
