S3 Ep12: The Sync Report | Steve Bernstein

Steve talks us through working on the Oscar winning film Monster with (Director) Patty Jenkins and Charlize Theron and what he learned from such a focussed and intense film set. How did that compare to working with Jon Favreau or Taylor Hackford? Listen as Steve tells us the difference for him between working on a big budget movie vs a smaller budget movie - which one gives him the most work satisfaction?

Find out why writers don’t always have to explain everything in an image, the importance of actors loving the material they are working with and how difficult it is to produce a film; something most people don’t realize until they try to produce a film.

Hear why a director should know about lighting, camera angles and every aspect of filmmaking. Learn about the importance of lighting and color in film and why working in digital is so different to working with film. 

Why does Steven think that Dylan Thomas was the cinematographer of poetry? Why was Decoding Annie Parker such an important film and how did it change people’s lives? Why is technology that supports art so good for artists and art? Don’t miss this fantastic discussion about filmmaking to learn so much about the art of filmmaking.
