Sound + Image Lab: The Dolby Institute Podcast โ€“ 181 โ€“ The Cinematography of Killers of the Flower Moon, with DP Rodrigo Prieto:

With our continuing Oscars coverage, today we are joined by Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC. He discusses how he got his start in the film business, working with legendary director Martin Scorsese, the challenges of shooting โ€œKillers of the Flower Moonโ€, as well as how his research into Osage traditions and rituals became directly woven into his photography for the film.

โ€œA lot of it I remember was based on the sun and the sun position. And even the rituals. For example, a burial happens when the sun is at the zenith. So okay, thatโ€™s usually a time of day you donโ€™t want to shoot as a cinematographer. You want to avoid it. But I thought it was important to respect that. And so we decided to have the sun in frame in those moments. And thatโ€™s why precisely thereโ€™s a scene of Mollieโ€™s motherโ€™s burial and the cameraโ€™s looking straight up at the sky. These are shots that arenโ€™t meant to be cool. Weโ€™re honoring, hopefully, the way they themselves honor the sun.โ€

โ€” Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC, Director of Photography, โ€œKillers of the Flower Moonโ€
