EP. 14 Cinnamon Topography

In this episode Rory and Temi recount how their approaches to cinematography developed. We dive a lil more deeply in to Cinematic Jazz. Oh, and we do a condensed rundown of the racist origins of the technology and technique of the craft. This episode is filled with film history, personal history, artist statements, probably a joke or two. It's got everything you could ask for from two niggas eatin. 

We steer clear of being overly technical so those of you new to cinematography can follow along! 

We love you and it's more than just because Rory wrote this whilst eating a bomb ass cheesecake that put him in a great mood.
