With the Oscars taking place late Sunday night in the UK, TVBEurope takes a look back at some of our coverage of this year’s nominated films.
F1 is nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Visual Effects, Film Editing and Sound.
The high-octane drama stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former driver who returns to Formula 1 to mentor a rookie for the fictional APXGP team.
In July, TVBEurope spoke to the team at Clear Angle Studios about how the company overcame the many technical challenges involved in capturing the sights and sounds of an active racing environment, including the use of ‘Jean Claude Van Scan’.
Netflix’s Train Dreams is also nominated for four awards on Sunday: Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Song.
Directed by Clint Bentley, the film tells the story of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly changing America of the early 20th Century.
Cinematographer Adolpho Veloso talked to TVBEurope about the importance of focusing on the film’s human experiences, so that employing modern technology wouldn’t feel out of place in the period drama.
Iranian film It Was Just An Accident is nominated in the International Film and Original Screenplay categories.
The story follows a group of former Iranian political prisoners who face the question of whether to exact revenge on a man they believe may be their tormentor.
Editor Amir Etminan told TVBEurope how he cut the film in secret, using his laptop, Premiere Pro, SSDs, and a television.
