Tailslate: A Cinematography Podcast

We're back and we're terribly sorry. Ed's been shooting Doctor Who and Britannia, and Ben's done four thousand commercials and a little known show called End of the Fucking World. Which seems strangely relevant tbh.

We’re back! Only coming up with a description is between me and this getting posted so… this is the end of the description.

We're back with a bumper episode of over two hours of DP waffling. The boys are joined by Catherine Goldschmidt and the wine-fuelled topics include what we've been shooting how to get into dramas (again) the Sony Venice large format lenses and sensors gender politics on set

Ben talks bout being super tired from his first 2 weeks on Witless 3, and some secret relationship gossip too. Ed loves flame bars.

Ed & Ben discuss what's in their kit bags; what equipment they own and whether as cinematographers owning your own tools is a good idea. Ed gives a very long and tedious description of how he uses an iPad as a DP.

To kick off the podcast, the boys talk about working on large narrative projects and how they differ from the commercial and "content" type work many of us get our start in.
