Cinematography is a delicate blend of artistry and technology, shaping the visual language of storytelling through light, composition, and movement. Acclaimed cinematographer Roberto Schaefer (Quantum of Solace, Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner) explores the evolution of his craft, from traditional filmmaking techniques to the integration of cutting-edge tools, including AI-driven, virtual production, and advanced camera automation. As AI and machine learning redefine workflows, Schaefer discusses how cinematographers can embrace these innovations while preserving the creative intuition that defines great storytelling.
