The Wandering DP Podcast

Hey gang! We are back at it this week with a great conversation with cinematographer Luke Jacobs. Luke shares how he worked his way into the business, what work has been like since 2020, and how he manages to team up with collaborators on projects he believes in. Lots of great stuff in this chat plus a few […]

For Episode #315 we sit down with cinematographer/director Thomas Simon to talk about his background, making his way into the industry, and the difficult balancing act between directing or dp'ing. Thomas has a great eye and a refreshing perspective on the industry and how to navigate it and it was a pleasure to sit down and […]

This shoot sums up my 2020 and I think it points to a new direction for commercial work going forward. It might not be the most interesting action or subject matter but it was a fun challenge all the same. I hope you are able to pull something away from this breakdown and go out and make […]

Well, well, well look what we got here ladies and gents. For the second time ever in the history of the podcast we have fallen victim to the old head fake.  We had a ripper of an episode ready to rock but alas it wasn't meant to be. So for your listening pleasure this week we are […]

We are back on the breakdowns this week and we are trying a slightly modified approach to looking at the work. In this episode we start by discussing the tech scout stills and build out a plan of attack from there then follow up on the day with the exact lighting plan, schedule, and all the […]
