On this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with the talented Filippo Cinotti, a cinematographer and colorist who shared his journey from sound engineer to DP and colorist. Listen in as Filippo tells us about his passion for filmmaking, experimenting with DV cams and DSLRs, and how the purchase of a FreeFly Movi stabilizer transformed his career. We also explored how he started crafting images with DaVinci Resolve and the moment he decided to call himself a DP. So grab your mug and join us for this incredible conversation!

During our discussion, Filippo shared his experience of navigating specialization in the film industry, and the pressures that come with deciding to focus on one area of expertise. From working on smaller projects to bigger, more intense ones, we dove into the different scenarios Filippo has faced in his career and how his decision to focus on either being a DP or colorist is gradually developing over time.

We also had the chance to learn about Filippo's company, Plasma, and the direction they are taking it. Plasma is a representation of Filippo's passion for filmmaking, color grading, and the world of video games. We explored the creative process behind the brand's identity and avatar, Cooper, which is inspired by Filippo's personal experiences and the 'Half-Life 2' video game. Join us as we discuss the various projects they are working on and their mission to 'deliver the future'.

Between the recording of this episode and its release, Plasma HQ was entirely destroyed due to a massive flood. If you are able, please support Filippo and team using the GoFundMe below.
