Carlos González, SVC on working for Roger Corman, Raw Justice, Mutant Species, shooting films vs. TV series, Grey’s Anatomy, Party of Five and becoming a director

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 73: Carlos González
Venezuelan-born cinematographer Carlos González graduated with a
degree in architecture before attending film school at AFI in Los
Angeles. While attending architecture school, he designed some film
sets, and still enjoys collaborating closely with production
designers. Carlos says that the experience of discovery when
walking into a room as a cinematographer is very similar to the way
an architect thinks, but focused on lighting placement and camera
movements rather than walls and doors. Carlos started out making
low-budget films for Roger Corman with director David Prior such as
Raw Justice and Mutant Species. Working on low-budget films enabled
him to become “the fast guy” and to develop a quick, basic lighting
scheme for each film, a skill he was able to take with him into
television series work. He's shot many episodes of Grey's Anatomy
and the remake of Party of Five on Freeform. In the past few years,
Carlos has moved into directing, and he is currently in
postproduction on a family-friendly movie, The Kid Who Only Hit
Homers. You can see the new Party of Five on Freeform.
