Jay Holben: The Role of Technical Innovation in Storytelling

Jay Holben: The Role of Technical Innovation in Storytelling

This week on the show, we welcome the Jay Holben, an associate member of the American Society of Cinematographers. Jay is known for his extensive contributions to film literature and technology, particularly through the books, "Cine Lens Manual" and "Shot Craft". He shares his journey as a cinematographer, filmmaker, writer, and researcher. Ever curious, Holben emphasizes the importance of continuous learning in the fluctuating landscape of the film industry, advocating for deeper engagement with both the technical and emotional aspects of filmmaking.

With thanks to.

The work stays free. Someone still pays for it.

Every episode, every article, and both of the Resources tools are free to use. No paywall, no membership fee, no login. That is not a growth tactic, it is the whole point: learning to light a scene should not depend on what you can afford.

Sponsors cover part of it. The rest is people chipping in.

Monthly or yearly, from $5 a month, less than the price of a coffee. It costs real money to keep the podcast, the writing, and the tools running, and supporting is what covers it.
