Camera Operator Highlight
The Studio
“Making the Camera Honest”
At once a biting satire of the movie business and a love letter to the movies themselves, The Studio juggles both the Herculean effort that goes into trying to get anything made in Hollywood with the absurdity of the egos of people calling the shots.
To discuss the series, Camera Operator had the opportunity to talk with both A camera/Steadicam operator Mark Goellnicht, SOC, as well as A camera dolly grip Chris Thrasher about their work. From the series’ frequent use of long takes—including an entire episode presented as a single oner—to adapting the various visual styles of the fictional films being made within the show, The Studio demanded a lot of its camera team. In this feature we get to dig into what was involved in bringing all of that to the screen.
