  1. Nick, When I was your age, I wanted to be a cinematographer as well. I read the American Cinematographer magazine and anything on film. I spent a very short time in LA, then life took me in another direction (of which I am very happy with). Nevertheless, I encourage you to make films and put them on YOUTUBE, finish High School, go to college (USC, UCLA, or some other reputable film school). Live in LA or NYC and become a production assistant, or apprentice under a DP you admire. Network with everyone you can in the film industry. Study films you love. Watch them over and over. And, ask questions on cinematography.com. This community is wise and generous. I wish you the very best. Gary
  2. I have been looking high and low for a copy of THE NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR from 1950. The WGA-W and AMPAS have copies in their libraries. I am not in LA and won't be until late September. Any suggestions? Thank you.
  3. Mann's current iteration of style is perfect for The Insider and Collateral. Unfortunately, I felt it impeded my ability to enter any character, let alone the story, in PE. A hand-held 30's period film of this magnitude didn't work for me. In spite of the almost constant movement of the camera, I did notice many nuanced details in the images. The production designer (Nathan Crowley) did a superb job.
  4. Very nice David. Crisp, sharp, clean imagery. Must have been a fun shoot.
  5. Conrad Hall Gregg Toland Jame Wong Howe Owen Roizman Michael Ballhaus for starters....
  6. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night. Visual poetry. Remarkable craftsmanship. Consistent mood throughout the film. Deeply moving. Fincher and Miranda have created a masterpiece.
