Rick Shepardson Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 So there is Nicholas Roeg who was a DP and became a director. But are there any working DP's who also directed their own films? Or write screenplays? It seems I'm about to DP a film that I have written, which is somewhat bizarre. I actually just finished shooting my thesis which I also wrote. My best advice is to be as professional as possible; stick to your role on set. After the director and I decided to work together I made it clear that the story was hers from that point on. Now and then an actor would ask me a question about the role. I always politely deferred them to the director. In the end, she pretty much saw things the same way I did. What changes she made added a new perspective and a little more life. That being said; it is a F#CKING wierd experience to hold a light meter up to someone who previously only existed in your head! good luck, rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted December 28, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2008 Kubrick was an established photographer while still in high school. From what I have seen and read i believe he could have assumed most roles in a film production if he chose to do so. There's a still of Kubrick on the set of Eyes Wide Shut with a lightmeter in his hand. I bet he wasn't it just holding it while Larry Smith was getting himself a cup of coffee.

Liam Hall Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 No one's mentioned Mike Serisen or Oscar winner Chris Menges and there are countless doco directors who regularly write, direct, shoot and edit - including me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
