Are you a filmmaker wondering what a good DP actually does, or when is the right time to bring them onto your project? This is the episode for you!
We are embarking on our own search for a Director of Photography to make our first feature film, but we have a lot of questions. The best way to find answers is to ask trusted sources, and for us, that is Wey Wang. We’ve known Wey for years and have worked with him on several projects. He also has the heart of a teacher, and we’ve learned a lot from him over the years. So, he’s the ideal person to explain the creative and collaborative power of a great cinematographer.
Wey is an award-winning Cinematographer based in Los Angeles with over 15 years of experience. He grew up in northern NJ, in the shadow of NYC.
He started his first life as a software developer before switching to cinema. He has since worked on numerous feature films and docs; shorts; commercials; and music videos. He has had the pleasure of working with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, such as Keanu Reeves, Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt and more.
Some notable accomplishments include: "Stars Fell on Alabama" and its sequel "Stars Fell Again"
Beyond the technical craft, Wey approaches every project as a deep collaboration, often starting with the script and into the edit. He believes a DP's job is more than just capturing a beautiful image, it's bringing a director's vision to life in a beautiful and emotional way. This focus on story and emotion drives his creative intent.
He is heavily influenced by directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Wong Kar Wai.
He is also influenced by the cinematography of Robert Elswit, Robert Richardson, Jordon Cronenweth, Roger Deakins, Christopher Doyle, Gordon Willis, and Greig Fraser.
