From the TVNZ photocopier room to winning an Emmy last month - New Zealand born cinematographer Barry "Baz" Idoine has come a long way.
 
His CV is extensive and impressive, including credits on Rogue One, American Sniper, The Master, There Will Be Blood, Erin Brockovich and even Waterworld.

His Emmy was for his work on season one the mega hit Star Wars spinoff The Mandalorian - which introduced the character of the Child (aka Baby Yoda).

The production pioneered the use of StageCraft tech which generated digital backdrops in real-time using a game engine.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian streams on Disney+ from Oct 30.
