▶ About This Episode:DP Mason Charles joins Dylan Hahn to break down how he and director Nick Nelson built a surreal, black-and-white fever dream around an unexpected tool: an Xbox Kinect. The depth-scan “nanoparticle” look became the backbone of the project, layered with black-void builds, 3fps Alexa textures, drone-mounted lighting, underwater housings, and tightly integrated VFX. They talk experimentation, collaboration, and what it feels like to step into the title of cinematographer while still early in the journey, chasing bold ideas and sharpening your voice with every project.

▶ About This Episode:

Directors Folkert Verdoorn and Simon Becks join Dylan Hahn to break down the chaotic, cartoon-fueled world of A$AP Rocky’s “PUNK ROCKY” music video. From fake suburban backlots and prosthetic eyes that sing, to breaking windows and car crashes they unpack collaborating with Rocky as a third director, casting wildly exaggerated characters (including Winona Ryder), pulling off ambitious long takes under pressure, all in the pursuit of building a fully realized world that runs on its own strange logic.

From phantom slow-motion experiments to analog video feedback loops, this episode is a look at how intentional technical choices can turn a small shoot into something bigger.
