07: Director of Photography, Ian Murray Pt.2 // Author your future & finding representation
In the second half of Ian's interview, he talks about moving in with a group of filmmakers fresh out of film school and the dynamic of living with a group of hungry creatives half his age.
The guys go on to discuss the hype and buzz that can build around a particular artist and whether or not it's good to be the "hot right now" DOP. If you get hot you can get cold. Is it better to just be consistently warm?
Ian sheds light on his 20 year relationship with his agent, Vision. He shares his experience finding an agent and how that process may be different in 2020.
As previously mentioned in part one of the interview Ian has been building an online hub to share his knowledge and experience as a cinematographer with his Instagram based lighting breakdowns called Set Notes. He's also been holding seminars, talks and lighting workshops. In part two of his interview, Ian explains where his passion for sharing and giving back to the community came from and where he plans to take it in the future.
