Published: June 11, 2020, 2 p.m.

We've all heard stories about directors like Steven Spielberg getting his start by walking on a Universal Studios set. For a cinematographer, it's quite different. Colin Watkinson, the visionary behind the Emmy-winning show The Handmaid's Tale, tells us how he started off as a runner for a film special effects company. His passion for cameras and celluloid eventually led him to where he is now.

In this episode, we cover Colin's journey from being a camera loader to learning about motion control. We also talk about film vs. digital.
