We're inaugurating an exciting new feature at Studio Daily: Podcasts from the Front Lines, a series of interviews with leading talent on current feature films who share their stories from the filmmaking trenches. We're proud to have the much-admired journalist Michael Goldman — author of John Wayne: The Genuine Article, Clint Eastwood: Master Filmmaker at Work, longtime senior editor at Millimeter magazine, and currently a regular contributor to American Cinematographer, among other publications — providing his expertise to these special presentations, which will incorporate multimedia elements alongside his insightful and revealing conversations with top directors, cinematographers, editors and more.
For the first edition, Michael interviewed cinematographer John Schwartzman, ASC, about Jurassic World, which broke box-office records worldwide when it opened earlier this month. There's plenty to talk about, and Schwartzman offers insight into key decisions on the project, including the reasoning behind shooting on film, the need to cope with unpredictable weather when shooting exteriors in Hawaii, and the selection of an unusual aspect ratio.
These podcasts will be a monthly feature at StudioDaily, with the schedule accelerating later in the year as Oscar season heats up and we go in-depth with some of the leading awards contenders. Keep an eye on your email for more links to Podcasts from the Front Lines, and enjoy these new perspectives on the art and craft of filmmaking.
Until next time …
— Bryant Frazer, editorial director
