    Inner Circle Podcast - Cinematographer Darrell Wonge’s Pivot from Pro-Basketball Player to Pro Cinematographer Jul 05, 2023
    Show notes

    Shane and Lydia welcome pro-baller-turned-cinematographer Darrell Wonge to the Filmmakers Academy studio to discuss his career pivot and learn everything from his networking strategy to how he handles the stress of set life while managing his crew.

    After suffering a career-ending injury, Darrell turned his efforts to cinematography. At first, he didn’t have the experience and knowledge but he was determined to become better. So, he approached it like basketball. Where at one time he would be in the gym four times a day for training, he employed that same regimen to his growth as a cinematographer.

    He started his mornings watching photography tutorials, reading trade articles, practicing by lighting his wife, and taking accomplished photographers out to lunch to learn their approach. In fact, one of the videos Darrell turned to was Shane’s video How To Build a Cinematographer’s Look Book, demonstrating how he created the lookbook for the Netflix Original movie, Holidate.

    Darrell loves how filmmaking is very much a team sport akin to basketball. While helping his wife, who appeared on big commercial campaigns like L’Oreal and Pantene, Darrell honed his visual craft and learned about LUTs and color grading.

    After launching into a successful commercial career as a director of photography, Darrell had to make a very difficult decision. Keep making commercials or pursue narrative. He chose the later and the sky is literally the limit for Darrell and his blossoming career in the film industry. His upcoming series is called “The Dessert,” presented by Bruce McCulloch of “The Kids in the Hall.”

    Inner Circle Podcast - Cinematographer Ed Lachman, ASC & the EL Zone System May 30, 2023
    Show notes

    You often hear “take it three stops down” or “four stops over,” but what does that actually mean?

    In this episode of The Inner Circle podcast, Shane Hurlbut, ASC takes a deep dive with Ed Lachman, ASC into the El Zone System and standardizing exposure in the digital age.

    Throughout this interview, the two ASC cinematographers discuss the lack of specificity in IRE values, waveform monitors, and false colors. In fact, they’re not consistent from one monitor platform to the next. Lachman explains how the El Zone System changes all that and brings the cinematography world into perfect harmony.
