Neal 768 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Don’t know if this was posted yet, but here’s a lengthy interview about Matthew Libatique, the film’s cinematographer. It’s a great read, and he really goes into the technicals of shooting, how he got the job, and themes he wanted to show through his lens. https://ascmag.com/articles/shooting-stars-a-star-is-born Tidbits: “Lady Gaga sings live,” Libatique notes. “She refuses to lip-sync. I didn’t want to risk exhausting her, because she delivers 150 percent every time she performs. For her first performance when Jack convinces her to come out on stage, I had four cameras so that I could leapfrog setups. I didn’t want to hose it down — we were being very specific about what we were doing — but I wanted to have cameras ready in different modes. I didn’t want to miss anything with her.” - “Darren (Aronofsky) said, ‘Bradley Cooper’s coming up here to talk to you about A Star Is Born,’” Libatique recalls. “It turned out that [Mother! star] Jennifer Lawrence, who had worked with Bradley numerous times, had had a conversation with him because he was looking for a cinematographer, and she was nice enough to recommend me.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adarsh Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 He is insanely talented. I hope he wins at the Oscars. Btw did you guys catch his cameo in the scene when Ally's grammy noms are announced and she gets emotional? He's the guy who's clapping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
