On set: behind the scenes with Rod Séraphine

Here's a look behind the scenes of Rodolph Séraphine's shoots, director of photography and cinematographer. Equally at ease with film and digital cameras (Arri, Sony, RED...), he also operates gyro-stabilized gimbals (Ronin 2, MOVI Pro), handles crane shots, and pilots drones by joystick — a technical versatility he brings to every project, wherever it takes him.
