What happens when a professional ballet dancer, sidelined by a significant knee injury, reinvents himself as a filmmaker? Listen to our latest episode of the Cinematography for Actors podcast as we sit down with Cameron Auble-Branigan and Danny Mooney.
Cameron shares his compelling journey from the rigid discipline of ballet to the creative freedom of filmmaking. He discusses how he overcame setbacks to not only find new avenues in the art of ballet, but also to inspire his short film “Sandpaper.” While Danny Mooney discusses the impact of a supportive upbringing and how it influenced his multifaceted career. He recounts his transition from engineering to theater and film, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and sharing emotional experiences.
The episode delves into the technical aspects behind “Sandpaper,” highlighting the collaboration of old film school friends and the use of specific cameras and lenses to achieve a unique visual style. It also covers the realistic portrayal of ballet, the making of the film, and plans to expand “Sandpaper” into a series.
