Coffee & Content: 'Maestro' Cinematographer Breaks Down Emotional Single-Shot Scene

Coffee & Content: 'Maestro' Cinematographer Breaks Down Emotional Single-Shot Scene

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!
Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.
First up, in this video from Variety, MAESTRO cinematographer Matty Libatique looks at the emotional Thanksgiving fight scene in the film, done in a single shot. The original plan was not for the scene to be done in a single shot, but Libatique gives an interesting look at how his conversations with director Bradley Cooper led to the choice, giving an insider look at the important relationships between director and cinematographer.
Next, in this video from THE LATE SHOW, host Stephen Colbert sits down with OPPENHEIMER director Christopher Nolan for a two-part interview to dig into the infamous director's personal life choices (such as not using a smartphone), as well as the stylistic and craft choices he made for the Oscar-nominated film.
