E08 - Production Houses, Ad Films and Cinematography with Director of Photography, Anup J Kattukaran.
Mr Anup J Kattukaran, or Anup J 'Kat' as he prefers, is a photographer, cinematographer and founding partner of 1st December films - a production house based out of Mumbai, which has created several award winning advertisements. 1st December films has worked with some of the biggest agencies and brands in the country, and has won several awards including 7 Cannes lions. Anup himself is India's first ever Director of Photography to have won a Clio award. Anup has filmed ads for Nike, Star Sports, Google, Sony and other brands starring Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and other big names in the entertainment industry.
In this episode I try to understand what an ad film shoot looks like, the day to day of a director of photography and fundamentally how production houses function. Anup is also one of the few photographers in the country who dabbles with underwater photography and has done quite a few successful shoots so we also get into the details of that for a bit.
Enjoy!
