          • Capturing Light – Episode 177 with Patrick Ouziel

            In this episode, we talk about

            Never After Dark

            • Sony Venice 2; Sigma FF High Speed Primes; Fujinon Cabrio 19–90mm; Laowa 24mm Pro2be; Sony FX3 for specialty rigs

            • Patrick Ouziel collaborated with director Dave Boyle on the film’s eerie visual language, drawing from Don’t Look Now and The Changeling for a retro sensibility built through practical techniques including zooms, harder lighting and atmospheric haze.

            • Small mirrors were also used throughout the set to create reflective patterns and falloff across actors’ faces. ScreenAnarchy called it “one of the early frontrunners for the year’s most accomplished horror films.”

              • Capturing Light Episode 176 with Adam Carboni

                In this episode, we talk about

                Best of the Best

                • Tech Specs: ARRI Alexa 35; RED Komodo; MiniDV, HDV and iPhone 16 Pro; 24fps OpenGate ARRIRAW framed for 2:1 extraction

                  Lena Khan’s Bollywood-fusion dance comedy follows two childhood best friends who join UCLA’s competitive dance team and set out for the U.S. Championship. Adam Carboni approached the film by creating “a grounded, contemporary base” that could expand into heightened theatricality without feeling like “eye-candy dropped into the movie.”

                • The production also incorporated a wide range of capture formats, from ARRI Alexa 35 and RED Komodo to MiniDV, HDV and an iPhone 16 Pro, offering a strong conversation around maintaining a cohesive visual language across intimate character scenes and large-scale dance sequences.

                • Being a Cinematographer and a Dad
