Nothing compares to this.

This is by far the best cinematography podcast and learning tool I have come across.
You almost don’t want others to know about it so you can be the only one getting better at such an incredible rate.
But, Patric is such a legend and so willing to help others that you would only wish the best for him and find yourself sharing the secrets he so happily gives away.

What a podcast, what a man, what an intro song!

It was a blustery winters eve when I retreated from an uncharacteristically savage storm into my log cabin in rural Paraguay and fired up this podcast for the first time. I wish it had been a WW2 bunker because I was about to get hit with a cinematographical knowledge bomb that would have turned Hiroshima into Hollywood. I wasn't ready.
Now I'm making bank on set convincing people I know what I'm doing by parroting stuff I heard here on the bus ride in.
Cheers Wandering DP!
