Cinematographer Roger Deakins, James Deakins on Team Deakins Podcast
Will Tizard ContributorFilmmakers all use the same tools, more or less, but do so with endlessly varied methods, says cinematographer Roger Deakins. That idea drove the master cinematographer, who won Academy Awards for Denis Villeneuve’s “Bladerunner 2049” and Sam Mendes’ “1917,” to launch with his wife James Deakins the buzzy behind-the-scenes podcast Team Deakins, a streaming chat show that has now hosted more than 60 film artists of all stripes.Since April the couple have done their trademark free-ranging interviews with remarkable cinematographers to be sure, including Rachel Morrison and Anthony Dod Mantle, but DPs have no monopoly as guests.
