Hey Reddit! I’m Adolpho Veloso, Cinematographer of films like Jockey and Mosquito, and most recently Train Dreams, which was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Cinematography.
SYNOPSIS: Train Dreams tells the story of one such ordinary man, Robert Grainier, who lives all of his years in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, working on the land, helping to create a new world at the turn of the 20th century.

Was it a challenge to convey the emotional scope of some of the scenes in this movie (like the fire burning down the house for example)?
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Hi 👋
What’s one decision in lighting or framing that had the biggest impact on the film’s mood?
Can you talk about building a relationship with the director and balancing your own artistic principles with the vision of the director? Thanks. Train Dreams is a beautiful film.
No question I just want to tell you that I think your work on Train Dreams is legit S-tier. You deserve all the accolades you’ve gotten. Incredible stuff. Thank you for creating those images and sharing them with the rest of us!
I know you’re a cinematographer, but surely you must hate Dr Richard Beeching too – right?
