▶ About This Episode:DP Mason Charles joins Dylan Hahn to break down how he and director Nick Nelson built a surreal, black-and-white fever dream around an unexpected tool: an Xbox Kinect. The depth-scan “nanoparticle” look became the backbone of the project, layered with black-void builds, 3fps Alexa textures, drone-mounted lighting, underwater housings, and tightly integrated VFX. They talk experimentation, collaboration, and what it feels like to step into the title of cinematographer while still early in the journey, chasing bold ideas and sharpening your voice with every project.
