    DP Jonathan Furmanski–who’s repped for features, TV and commercials by Zero Gravity Management–returns behind the camera for season 3 of Search Party, on HBO Max June 25. The cult hit show created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers and Michael Showalter, follows a group of self-absorbed friends who find themselves in ever-deeper water trying to find an acquaintance from college who’s disappeared.  With the third season bringing both a change in genre and distributor, Furmanski had to adapt the look of Search Party to suit. To do this, he needed to cleverly light a courtroom drama on the sixth floor of a working courthouse. His solution was to use LED blankets in the windows, dressed with mullions, transoms and curtains to replicate blown out windows. This gave him the freedom to maximize camera coverage and keep the courtroom drama tense….

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
