Cinematographer Barry Braverman talks about his work with Wes Anderson, his worldwide video workshops, and the new edition of his book Video Shooter.This interview serves as a nice primer for the next episode of Electric Shadow, which focuses on Anderson's career in general, but specifically, Fantastic Mr. Fox.Barry loves the work of Vittorio de Sica, espcially Bicycle Thieves, aka The Bicycle Thief aka Ladri di biciclette and Umberto DBarry has been with Wes Anderson since Bottle Rocket, and Braverman's short film Murieta Cycles appears on the Criterion Blu-ray.Barry's book Video Shooter is pretty great, and much better in myriad ways than other books that intend to get people into shooting video.One of "Wes' Gang", the great Kumar Pallana, recently passed. Anderson's dedication and loyalty to his co-conspirators in film deserves praise.
