May 06 2020
Who needs introduction to Christopher Doyle ..
The Cinematographer who is known for his wonderful collaboration with Director Wong Kar Wai in Films like “ In the Mood for love “, Chungking Express , Fallen Angels , 2046 etc .. He has inspired a generation of Cinematographers and even now he continues to inspire . He is known for his usage of Neon Lights in his films.. for his fluidity of Camera movements , use of Visual Design and bringing in the character of space in his frames .
I would like to present here one of his recently published interviews on Filmmaker magazine done during COVID times , where he talks about his energy about continuing making films even under financial constraints with small cameras like Canon 5R
links to some of his inspiring interviews

Christopher Doyle quotes the Legendary Filmmaker Orson Welles
“A film is never really good unless the Camera is an eye in the head of a poet”
