DP & VFX RELATIONSHIP - with Greig Fraser & Paul Lambert
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 141 - DP & VFX Relationship - with Greig Fraser & Paul Lambert
In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Greig Fraser (Season 1, Episodes 29, 57, 63, 69 & Season 2, Episodes 50, 51, 100) and VFX supervisor Paul Lambert (Season 1, Episode 107) return to talk about the modern relationship between the cinematography and visual effects departments. Throughout the episode, we frequently refer to Paul's and Greig's collaboration on both DUNE films, and they reveal how they realized several scenes and overcame the endless challenges of shooting the film with the support of one another. They share why they utilized painted backings to assist in set extension over blue screens or LED walls, and we later swap strategies for figuring out how to maintain the illusion of a flying helicopter. Greig also reveals what makes him proud about a particular all-CG shot in DUNE: PART II, and Paul breaks down what an audience really means when they see "bad CGI" in a film. Towards the end, we discuss the merging of animation and live-action filmmaking, and we look ahead to what the future may bring.
