If you’ve seen Blade Runner 2049, 1917, No Country for Old Men, Skyfall, Fargo, Sicario, or The Shawshank Redemption, you’ve seen Roger’s work. Widely regarded as one of the greatest cinematographers in the history of cinema, Roger sat down with James for a rare joint interview that covers a lot of ground: crashing computers and lost weeks of work during the world’s first full-film digital intermediate on O Brother, Where Art Thou?, lighting moonlight on No Country for Old Men with stadium floodlights, why he shoots what he wants in camera instead of relying on the DI, how the Alexa changed the way he works, and what 36 years of creative partnership actually looks like in practice. 🎞️🎛️
