In today's episode, we  have Aniket V. Khandagale, a famous cinematographer with over 20 years of experience, working in Bollywood and the Marathi film industry. An alumnus of the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India in Pune, Aniket has also worked extensively on documentaries, corporate films, television commercials and promotional videos.

The conversation started with Aniket explaining the pivotal role of a cinematographer in capturing the director's vision and bringing it to life on screen. He talked about how a cinematographer collaborates with team members like the operative cameraman, lighting team, grip team, and focus puller, to achieve the desired visual aesthetics.

He then discussed how different camera techniques and perspectives are used to convey the story and evoke emotions in the audience.

Aniket even shared how different directors have different approaches to communication, with some directors providing detailed instructions and others leaving more room for collaboration. According to him, increased awareness and information flow have led to more collaboration and a clearer vision among directors and cinematographers.

He then discussed the significance of pre-visualization in designing the look of a film. He mentioned the challenges and changes brought about by the transition from traditional film to digital filmmaking, and its implications on shooting and editing.

Finally, Aniket explained the role of frame rates and motion blur in creating cinematic magic. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the traditional frame rate of 24 FPS for preserving the film look.
