John Toon is an award-winning cinematographer who has worked all over the world and in many genres. His early New Zealand TV jobs include The Governor and Moynihan, while his movie credits include Rain, Sylvia and Sunshine Cleaning (all shot for his wife, director Christine Jeffs), plus Broken English and the upcoming Mr Pip.

In this ScreenTalk, Toon talks about:

Being spied on while filming ground-breaking early current affairs programme South Africa – The White Future
How slow motion filming transformed the documentary John Walker – The 3-49-4 Man
Sharing the filming of The Governor with the National Film Unit
Creating wind from an old DC-3 airliner for movie The Silent One
Making a set surreal for the short film Stroke
"Stealing" the look of the film Rain from colleague, cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh
Using subdued colours on the set of Sylvia
How illness kept him from realising his 'big break' on the Hollywood film Glory Road
Ignoring official rules on the Bougainville set of Mr Pip
