The Cinematography Challenge: Episodes 1-3

By Lacey Marshall

SIGMA has teamed up with Rosco to bring you the Cinematography Challenge. We brought in working cinematographers and gave them the challenge of lighting and lensing a scene in under 30 minutes. But there’s a twist! They had to pick a genre at random and create a scene that encompassed that genre. Check out all three episodes now and see how these artists were able to step up to the challenge.

Episode 1: DP Carissa Dorson

Genre: Fantasy
