Toby Oliver, ACS talks Dead To Me Season 2, working with Jordan Peele on Get Out, horror films The Darkness and Happy Death Day, Mötley Crüe movie The Dirt, and the upcoming Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 74: Toby Oliver Toby Oliver was
an experienced cinematographer in his native Australia for a few
decades before moving to the U.S. and establishing himself as a DP.
He worked with fellow Aussie director Greg McLean on Wolf Creek 2
and other horror genre movies for Blumhouse Productions such as The
Darkness. When shooting any genre or time period, Toby believes
color palette is important and enjoys working with production
designers to fine-tune the look. This was especially true for the
Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt, which takes place across the 1980's.
Consistency and continuity of visuals have also played a big part
in Toby's films, such as Happy Death Day and the sequel, Happy
Death Day 2 U. Both films rely on the “Groundhog Day Trope”- as in,
the main character must repeat the same day over and over again, so
keeping continuity in sets, camera setups and lighting was
important. Toby met director Jordan Peele through his connections
at Blumhouse. Jordan Peele, as a first time director, needed an
experienced DP and hired him for Get Out. They collaborated closely
and created the look of “The Sunken Place” in the movie. For Season
Two of Netflix's Dead to Me, Toby tried to keep the look of the
show consistent with the first season, just tweaking lighting and
camera angles to be more flattering to the actors. It took a little
bit of adjustment getting used to shooting series television, but
Toby also got to rely on his horror background for some of the
creepier scenes. Dead to Me Season Two is currently streaming on
Netflix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmU7ylnmn_M Find Toby
