In this video I breakdown the cinematography behind this latest short film, The Weight of Silence, covering everything from camera choices and lens selection to lighting setups, colour palette, and shot composition. You’ll get a full look at the creative and technical decisions that shaped the film’s visual language. How we built mood through lighting and contrast? Why we made certain framing choices. The camera and lens package used on set.

Whether you’re a cinematographer, filmmaker, or just curious about the process, this breakdown dives into how visuals serve story, not just style for style’s sake.
