Cinematographer Natalie Kingston made history as the first woman to win an Emmy for "Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited or Anthology Series" in 2024 for her work on the Apple TV series Black Bird and has shared some behind-the-scenes insights on her work.
From a child, I have been fascinated by behind-the-scenes segments that show how TV shows and films are created, often searching for additional features on the VHS or DVD box. I recently got that same hit of fascination and inspiration in equal measure when viewing a video by Panavision, whereby cinematographer Natalie Kingston takes us through her approach, inspiration, and the Panavision equipment used to create the hit show, Black Bird. Panavision lenses are among the best cine lenses on the market, and you can see why by the show's signature look.
