RB spotlights a great Frame Voyager piece on how Lemony Snicket built a whole world inside stages. Production designer Rick Heinrichs and DP Emmanuel Lubezki went heavy on practical sets, even turning a NASA space into a water tank. The reminder for us DPs is simple: tools change, craft is choices. Natural light vs units, practical builds vs pixels. Pick what serves the story and the character’s truth.
RB also answers the “Is Disney buying?” question. Short version: yes, but you need access. A rep, a producer with a deal, or a trusted exec opens the door. Stage 32 can help with Success Team guidance, Pitch Sessions, and Exec Consultations if you match the mandate and come prepared.

Must-read blog and must-watch videos! Lighting is huge in movies and setting the tone of a scene, Lindsay Thompson. I've seen behind-the-scenes videos of sets that had fake walls so the crews could move the walls and get shots easily.
