Show Notes
The Cinematography Podcast Episode 348: Danny Cohen, BSC
DP Danny Cohen, BSC, reveals how he crafted the "dirty London" look of Slow Horses through motivated lighting, high ASA grain, and the grit of Slough House.
Key Podcast Highlights: -How Slow Horses ditches the typical block shooting system, with one DP and one director to create the entire season’s visual look. -Using camera settings to bake in noise and deep, inky blacks for that signature London grit. -Shooting with 2–3 cameras, which allows for weird, accidental angles that a single camera would never catch. -Why Danny bans traditional backlighting and soft fill to keep his characters trapped—and embedded—in their murky environments. - A look at the multi-story Slough House sets that let actors and cameras move through floors without ever hitting a fake wall.
