I had the pleasure of working on his graduating film at the Danish Filmschool, as an assistant doing lights, occasionally as dolly grip and shooting stills. I was young and energetic. 16 hour days, but that´s the name of the game. Cinematography is not for the weakhearted. Anthony Dod Mantle is a pleasant and very inspiring and funny personality, but also demanding, but in a friendly and funny way. I think this goes a long way in managing a crew under difficult shooting conditions. Anyway I understand his success, since he is artistically uncompromising, and he knows what he wants and he knows how to get it. Even back then in 1987, the year I started working in the movie Industry. :rolleyes:

Hi everybody, I´m new to this forum, so cheers to You all ! I would definetely say Bruno Delbonnel. He studied philosophy before cinematography, and seeks his inspiration in the fine arts, reading sheet music, since there is a strong sence of poetic structure in sheet music, which goes well with the art of cinematography, the sence of rhytm in the flow of the images. He is also a magician in terms of the amount of freedom of thought he applies to his technical understanding. He is truly an uncompromising artist and very experienced craftsman. So if I were to start all over again, (which is something one needs to do again and again I believe) I would bow to Mr Delbonnel. But there are so many other great and inspiring cinematographers in the history of cinematography worth a kneepad or two. Lars Beyer
