The Lee color grads included in the auction are saying enough.

A producer showed me the 140 or so responses she got from an ad she placed on craigslist for a DP position for a upcoming indie feature not that long ago. You guys would be shocked to learn what some of your colleagues are willing to work for: from ridiculous low rates (think PA on a super low budget indie), to offering complete RED camera, light and grip packages for free. Very depressing.

Barry Sonnefeld: from porn to Coen Brothers art-house movies (Blood Simple and Raising Arizona) to major block buster director, he must have an interesting story and was a great dp.

A working DP would be Emmanuel Lubezki; but any other great DP would do just fine, so much to learn.
