59: That's the Show?

Domino. J.J. Abrams' Star Trek redefined the look of the franchise for the 21st century. The person most directly responsible for this is director of photography Dan Mindel. But Star Trek and Into Darkness are just two of many films Mindel has photographed with his unique style. In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John begin a new series in which we look at the cinematographers of the modern era of Trek. We begin with Mindel's work on Tony Scott's Domino. We discuss the movie on the whole, the techniques Mindel used to give the film its unique aesthetic, and wonder whether or not this look could have been obtained with digital cameras.
