Page 3 Q&A: Guillaume Campanacci — Styling the Shot Actor, director, cinematographer, and editor Guillaume Campanacci tells about styling his shots. Where do you prefer B&W against color? Color dominates modern life; B&W lets characters exist in a more intimate, timeless space. But the story always dictates it, not myself. When do you choose moving camera shots? I move the camera when a character’s inner world is shifting, when energy needs to flow, tension needs to grow, or the audience should feel physically pulled into the moment rather than simply observing it. Do your actors do their own makeup? On Devils in Disguise, yes. On my other films, it depended on budget. I have zero interest in make-up, except if it's a part of the character's look. How do you enjoy your work on the shot as a cinematographer as against editor of the footage? Cinematography is instinct, capturing emotion in the moment. Editing is architecture, discovering rhythm and the film’s true heartbeat. I love shifting between them: one is impulse, the other revelation, and both complete the story Campanacci’s Whenever I’m Alone With You and Devils in Disguise are now available on Prime Video and Tubi. Guillaume Campanacci Retro Fandom — Airwolf Flies Again! For those of who grew up with the ‘80s TV sensation Airwolf, buckle up for another flight! The YouTube channel Airwolf Fan Movies has created a short Airwolf fan film called “Valley of Fire” as an episode related to the original show. Here’s the plot in brief (from the video’s description): Two stolen WWII aircraft (aided by a mysterious, high-level F.I.R.M. operative) and some skillful Russian pilots leads to an aerial confrontation on Hawke's briar patch, the Valley of the Gods. But those aren't the only old ghosts to return from Airwolf's past. Fun fact about the film: it’s not AI (as I mistakenly thought at first), but good old-school frame -by-frame editing out of passion for the memories of Airwolf. Check out the short film and other Airwolf fan videos by this group on YouTube at www.youtube.com/ @AIRWOLFMovie. Fandom never dies; it flies!
