James Compton Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 https://www.yahoo.com/movies/summer-of-86-intro-121809098.html Thinking back to that time, I was wee lad. I spent every weekend at the cinema. Many great cinematographers had features on the big screen that year. It was also a decent year for VFX cinematography. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA - Dean Cundey THE GOLDEN CHILD - Donald Thorn TOP GUN - Jeffery Kimball ALIENS - Adrian Biddle STAND BY ME - Thomas Del - Ruth COBRA - Ric Waite (48 HRS , RED DAWN , shot years before) SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT - Ernest Dickerson LABRYNTH -Alex Thomson RAW DEAL - Alex Thomson FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF -Tak Fujimoto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Compton Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I almost forgot... THE HITCHER - John Seale The movie really has staying power. The tasteful use of chiarosuro in a desert environment. The anamorphic lenses worked very well, adding weight and atmosphere to an already tense situation. Watching that film at a very young age, I could feel all those elements working together to craft a special kind of terror. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
