What do you do after you win your second Oscar for Best Cinematography? Start a podcast. Roger Deakins has officially launched the “Team Deakins” podcast along with his wife and longtime filmmaking collaborator James Ellis Deakins. The podcast has debuted six episodes as of May 3 that cover a wide array of filmmaking topics: Composition, practical lighting, the switch from film to digital, and more. Deakins took home the Best Cinematography Oscar this year for “1917,” his second Academy Award after “Blade Runner 2049.” As James Deakins told Collider, the recent global lockdown inspired the cinematography duo to finally sit down together and start recording episodes.
“We have been doing our website for years now and love connecting with people who are starting out and sharing our experience with them,” James Deakins said. “Over the years, we have done many Q&As and, afterwards, answered individual questions and realized that we often answer the same questions.

Roger Deakins is a little bummed with Hollywood at the moment. The two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer took some time during his quarantine to hop on video chat with Collider for a nearly 90-minute interview in which he looked back at his illustrious career, from “The Shawshank Redemption” to “Fargo,” “Blade Runner 2049,” and “1917,” among other projects. Deakins shared a bit of Hollywood criticism when he said, “Movies have become more about the aesthetic than the story and the content and what the film is trying to say. I find that pretty disappointing and pretty depressing.”
One reason for Hollywood’s downward trajectory that Deakins alluded to during the interview was the lack of a cohesive voice in major Hollywood tentpoles. Studios often rely on second units to pick up the filming of various scenes. Marvel Studios is notorious for working this way. One reason the McU has lured new indie...
