Ep 10: Benjamin Casias, Medicine For Melancholy camera operator

Today I speak with the super talented camera, Benjamin Casias.

He says

"As with art itself, we all interpret each image differently but the key is to create something beautiful with a vision clearly at hand and I am here to help with that vision.

My background as a steadi-camera operator has allowed me to navigate through sets and tell stories which normally would not be possible. With that, I carry the ability to understand a set very well with lighting, creating shots and framing in mind for the moments we would like to capture."

We discuss his work on Medicine For Melancholy, written and directed by Oscar winning director Barry Jenkins, Fruitvale Station, his time shooting underwater and how he networks to perfection plus MORE!

He is a member of:
IASTE LOCAL 600
Steadicam Operators Association
Society of Camera Operators

This is one of the best podcasts I have been lucky enough to be a part of.

I've got a case of beer in London, with Benjamin's name written on it!
