De naam Steve Yedlin zal je waarschijnlijk helemaal niks zeggen, maar hij is de cinematographer van Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Of beter gezegd de man die er voor zorgt dat alles op het scherm prachtig mooi in beeld komt. Daarom had de website Collider een interview met hem en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen en let wel op er komen de nodige SPOILERS!! in voorbij.

I know you and Rian have been working together for a really long time and I'm always curious with cinematographers, what were your early conversations on what you guys wanted to hit upon for the visual idea for this thing?

STEVE YEDLIN: Well, the very first time, I mean I really do remember the very first time Rian and I kind of talked about it. You know, like what we were actually going to do as opposed to just him informing me that he had been offered the job, taken it and bringing me on. We kind of had this discussion, which I think he had pretty much already decided in his head, but kind of wanted to bounce it off of me and say it out loud. But I think he pretty much already knew how much we were going to try to inform the visuals, based on the other movies, or try to specifically do something that we thought was Star Wars-y or something. And I think that the decision was kind of, you know, we're not really going to do that.


We're both very much inspired by Star Wars and especially Empire was just always there as an inspiration. But in terms of literally what are we doing? It's just let's figure out the most visually exciting way to tell this particular story in a way that excites us and feels personal. And you know, that's what we did. The genesis of the visuals was just this is Rian's movie and we want to make it as visually amazing as possible, but not in a flashy way
