An Interview with Roger Deakins




Thursday 19th May was a great day for cinematography, when the British Society of Cinematographers (BSC), organised a showing of Roger Deakins classic film, the Shawshank Redemption, at the Odeon in Piccadilly followed by a Q&A session. 

The interview was conducted by John de Borman, President of the BSC, also a renowned Director of Photography, and is currently filming Quartet starring Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and Billy Connolly. John has also worked on An Education, The Full Monty, The Guru and recently The Engagement.


Lighting the interview was the Briese 77, supplied by Pixi Motion. These were the only lights required.
 

Roger Deakins is currently working on his latest project with director Sam Mendes, Skyfall, the latest Bond movie staring Daniel Craig as 007. His other achievements include block busters such as True Grit, No Country for Old Men, Jarhead, Fargo, The Big Lebowski and recently In Time and The Company Men.
