Jonathan Bowerbank Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Such a long list could be made out of this, so here are just two of my favorite Director/DP teams who have worked with eachother numerous times Coens w/ both Deakins & Sonnenfeld (You can't mention a Coen film's cinematography without mentioning "Miller's Crossing") Gilliam/Pratt (Come on, Time Bandits, Baron Munchausen, Brazil, Fisher King, 12 Monkeys...all brilliant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 15, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2006 Aronovsky/Labitique and Nolan/Pfister just came to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Most Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Aronovsky/Labitique and Nolan/Pfister just came to mind As do Bryan Singer and Tom Sigel. There are also some television collaborations that have produced very interesting work, although in that medium the collaborator is the producer, not a specific director. Two that come to mind are Tommy Schlamme and Tom Del Ruth, and Mike Robin and both Brian Reynolds (Civil Wars, NYPD Blue, and The Closer) and Chris Baffa (Popular, Nip/Tuck, and an MOW called Bailey's Mistake).

Scott Bullock Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) David Cronenberg/Peter Suschitzky (CRASH, SPIDER, NAKED LUNCH, DEAD RINGERS, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, M. BUTTERFLY) and David Cronenberg/Mark Irwin (VIDEODROME, THE BROOD, THE DEAD ZONE, SCANNERS, FAST COMPANY, THE FLY).

Jonathan Bowerbank Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Steve Soderbergh has a great relationship with .. well... Peter Andrews AKA Steven Soderbergh. :D Best Tim Ha ha, good one Tim. I'm still perpetually impressed by how Soderbergh is able to function as both DP and Director on set, and yet he's still able to give his actors some great direction towards what have generally been brilliant performances. I'm really looking forward to seeing "The Good German", especially considering the technical rules of "old studio days" that he adhered to during production. Oh but look, I've gone off topic...here: Jeunet & Caro w/ Khondji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jason Debus Posted December 15, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm a big fan of korean director/cinematographer Chan-wook Park/Jeong-hun Jeong, they've put out some incredible stuff in the last five years or so.

Nitay Artenstein Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Godard & Coutard is a pretty obvious choice. I also like what Melville & Decaë did together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Partridge Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Richard Lester and David Watkin Hitchcock and Robert Burks David Lean and Freddie Young Fellini and Otello Martelli (or even Guiseppe Rotunno) Sergio Leone and Tonino Delli Colli Lucio Fulci and Sergio Salvati Terry Gilliam and Roger Pratt Gilliam/Pratt (Come on, Time Bandits, Baron Munchausen, Brazil, Fisher King, 12 Monkeys...all brilliant) Peter Biziou shot Time Bandits, Guiseppe Rotunno Baron Munchausen (Pratt only shot the model unit at Pinewood). I do agree though, their films are just irresistable visually, even if the script isn't up to much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
