A podcast dedicated to the people whose names you see in the credits of the film and television that you love.
Roll The Credits sits down with the artists, technicians, and collaborators behind film and television - the ones shaping what we see, hear, and feel, often without recognition. From sound designers to cinematographers, editors to intimacy coordinators, each episode pulls back the curtain on the craft, the process, and the stories behind the work.
Behind the Frame: The Conjuring 2 (Crooked Man Sequence)
How does one of horror’s most unsettling sequences go from an idea in a director’s mind to the screen?
In the first installment of Behind the Frame, a new Roll the Credits series exploring memorable moments in film through the eyes of the artists who helped create them, we’re revisiting The Conjuring 2 (2016), directed by James Wan.
Joining us is storyboard artist James Doh, who worked directly with Wan to help visualize the film’s unforgettable Crooked Man sequence.
Using his original storyboards, James walks us through the creative process, from interpreting the script and collaborating with Wan to planning camera movements, building suspense, and developing the creature’s terrifying reveal.
Along the way, we explore how storyboards shape the language of a scene, why certain shots make it into the final film while others don’t, and how even the smallest creative decisions can transform the way an audience experiences fear.
A huge thank you to James for joining us and sharing such a fascinating look into his creative process.

Gaffer: Chip Carey
What does it take to bring a cinematographer’s vision to life?
This week on Roll The Credits, Christina Chironna sits down with gaffer Chip Carey, whose credits include Django Unchained, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Hush, Special Ops: Lioness, Antebellum, and Primetime, to explore the often-overlooked art of lighting for film and television.
From getting his start booking background actors on Runaway Jury to working alongside some of the industry’s most accomplished cinematographers, Chip shares how curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to experiment have shaped his career.
He takes us behind the scenes of Primetime, revealing how he and cinematographer David Bolen created flexible lighting environments to preserve director Lance Oppenheim’s documentary-style approach, including an elaborate nighttime rain sequence with custom lightning effects. He also breaks down the unique challenges of lighting Hush and 10 Cloverfield Lane, the unconventional techniques used on Antebellum, and the invaluable lessons he learned working alongside legendary gaffer Ian Kincaid on Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.
Throughout the conversation, Chip reflects on the importance of developing a shared creative language with cinematographers, trusting unconventional ideas, and embracing the unexpected moments that can lead to something extraordinary.
An inside look at one of filmmaking’s most essential crafts, and a reminder that sometimes the best creative decisions happen when you throw the plan out the window.

First Assistant Camera: Zachary Blosser
On this episode of Roll The Credits, Christina sits down with first assistant camera Zachary Blosser.
Zachary shares the unexpected path that led him into the camera department — from making skate videos with a Hi8 camcorder and discovering a deeper love for cinema through A Clockwork Orange, to landing his first job on a feature film without ever having attended film school.
He breaks down what a 1st AC actually does, the technical skills and instincts required to keep a shot in focus, and how the craft has evolved from taking physical measurements beside a film camera to pulling focus on high-definition monitors. He also explores the often-overlooked responsibility of the camera department: anticipating what a production needs, adapting to the unexpected, and making sure the technical side of filmmaking never gets in the way of the creative process.
Zachary dives into his work on some wildly different productions, including navigating an unconventional mix of vintage broadcast cameras, MiniDV camcorders, and modern digital cinema cameras on Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime, working alongside Jim Henson’s Creature Shop on Five Nights at Freddy’s, and using forced perspective, miniatures, and practical effects to bring a 13-foot-tall character to life in Boots Riley’s I’m a Virgo. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from Underwater, Spinal Tap II, and a recent Phoebe Bridgers music video.
Above all, Zachary reflects on the relationships, collaboration, and camaraderie that make filmmaking so special.
Zachary’s credits include:
PRIMETIME (2026)
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 2 (2025)
SPINAL TAP II (2025)
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S (2023)
HITMAN (2023)
I’m A VIRGO (2023)
EMANCIPATION (2022)
…and many more.
