Frame & Reference Podcast Frame and Reference Podcast

Today I'm thrilled to have my friend Jay Holben back to talk about his new book Shotcraft.


A former cinematographer, Jay is an author of three books on cinematography, a contributing technical editor for American Cinematographer Magazine, faculty instructor for Global Cinematography Institute and international lecturer, an Associate member of the ASC and the chair/co-chair of several of the ASC Motion Imaging Technology Council Committees.

He is also the author of the highly lauded independent lighting manual: A Shot in the Dark: A Creative DIY Guide to Digital Video Lighting on (Almost) No Budget and the compilation of a decade of cinematographic journalism in Behind the Lens: Dispatches from the Cinematographic Trenches and most recently the exhaustive The Cine Lens Manual: The Definitive Filmmaker’s Guide to the Design, Implementation and History of Cinema Optics.



In his more than 30 years in the motion picture business, Holben has, professionally, embodied every major role in production and post on a film set with the exceptions of makeup/hair, craft service, composer, stunt performer and production assistant.
