I recently watched a new video on Panavision’s YouTube channel, and it’s enlightening for anyone passionate about cinematography and filmmaking. The question posed was simple yet revealing: what do some of the world’s top cinematographers do before they start their day on set?
Panavision gathered an impressive lineup of acclaimed filmmakers – names like Rodrigo Prieto, Mandy Walker, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Phedon Papamichael and many more – to share their habits, rituals and go-to tools. The result is a candid conversation about what goes on behind the scenes of Hollywood sets.
