The whimsical world of Wicked: Alice Brooks, ASC
The Cinematography Podcast Episode 291: Alice Brooks, ASC
Cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC was in post on In The Heights four years ago when director Jon M. Chu let her know their next project together was adapting the world-famous Broadway musical, Wicked. With such a huge fan base, Alice and Chu wanted to make sure they respected the musical, but they both wanted to find a dynamic, filmic way to approach the material. “John kept instilling in us, don’t make the obvious choices,” Alice says. “We were all creating a world of Oz together that no one had ever seen before, that was magical and wondrous and a little bit different.” Alice chose to go back to the source material for inspiration...

    Single best AD in the business. Such a sad loss. I had the pleasure of being Adam's 2nd AD on about eight commercials, including David Fincher's "Hallway" commercial for the Apple iPhone 3G. He was hilarious, kind, and incredibly assertive and forward-driving. Working with him was one of the very top highlights of my short career as a 2nd AD.

    I'm a definitive supporter & admirer of the 2024 film Longlegs. Seems some individuals can't separate & adjust their reception of the movie with the unique marketing which utilized the Lambs & 7 comparisons, but even if some may have been disappointed with the actual film, there's really no denying the effectiveness & truly original vibe which is established and thoroughly maintained from the opening 3 minutes. "brought my long legs... Let me just..." An unseen character abruptly introducing themselves upon the opposite character & the unsuspecting soon to be startled audience, simply just leaning down into frame as the shot is abruptly cut to the "title card" and it's one of the most original & creepy tone setting pieces I've seen in awhile.

    I met Adam in India on the jungle book I liked him immediately, his nervous energy, always walking at a slow run on his tipee toes ! I got lucky , right place, right tirme. So I'm an ad now, didn't have a clue, I just looked at Adam and thought, that's what I've got to do, he was my role model I bumped into him from time to time on set, I ended up 1st ad on special effects, our paths didnt cross that often but when they did , watching him work the floor, that's the ad I wanted to be, he was brilliant. Later I got such a buzz watching his credits, ad for Spielberg, associate producer, producer, hats off to the guy, all his own work. One of my heros. So glad I got to work with him and watch him shine. Can you imagine how many people he met/ worked with ? Always remembered my name ! I'll not forget him. Very special guy.

    Uhhh how about the most iconic death scene for me in Saving Private Ryan!! Young medic asking for his mother while Tom Hanks is giving him more morphine than they can spare because he didn't want him to suffer. The most heartbreaking. That's what put him on my radar and that was in the 90s!!

    • @brentulstad3275

      The moment Ribisi is looking up at Hanks, hurting puppy dog eyes, asking "more morphine?" Hanks, frustrated & knowing it's entirely in vain & hopeless....but unable to deny him. Absolutely incredible though devastating. Been years since I've seen it but definitely want to rewatch again soon.

      @TheCinematographyPodcast 3 месяца назад

      Agreed. We are allowed to show some clips released by the studio, but to include all the scenes discussed requires rights & clearances to be approved from both studio and RUclips, which is time consuming to put it mildly. We highly recommend, turning on DUNE 2 on MAX and playing the scenes discussed while listening to the podcast, it adds another level to the conversation.

While all topics are great to get into, we only had Steve for a very short period of time and the whole interview in here.
