Matt Workman, who runs Cinematography Database, interviewed me and Pablo Plaisted for an article in two parts on The Lego Movie - Anamorphic Virtual Cinematography.
It covers my thoughts on setting up and running a lighting department as well.

Matt Workman runs a blog called Cinematography Database, and his most recent posting is an interview he did with Sharon Calahan, who earlier this year was the first Director of Photography working purely in CG to be inducted into the American Society of CInematographers.

In the interview reference is made to Ms Calahan's contribution to the 1996 SIGGRAPH session "Pixel Cinematography". The coursenotes are available online here and are as pertinent today as they were in 1996.

"Legend of the Guardians" Section now Published

Finally finished the article on The Cinematography of Legend of the Guardians and added a page of links to websites of relevance. The LOTG section should no longer be password protected.

The article takes a general approach to the cinematography of the film and doesn't get too much into the technical aspects.

This is to keep it readable and accessible to a general audience, but also because I am contractually bound not to reveal too much about technique.

This is great news. Chris McKay worked with absolute passion and commitment on "The Lego Movie", and knows the machinations of getting a Lego movie done as well as anyone. 

More information on deadline.com and on Cartoon Brew, amongst other sites.

Phil Lord has made a spirited riposte to some misinformation propagated in the comments section of the deadline article. (It fascinates me how people "know" this stuff).
