Ashley Barron Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hey everyone, The Topic Title is pretty explanatory. Who do you consider to be the best commercial Cinematographer and what commercial specifically do you have in mind that stands to you? Thanks in advance, Ashley.

Allen Achterberg Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Best? I dunno... I do know however that Bill Bennett ASC does some amazing car commercial work. http://www.wfb4.com/ maybe some other members can mention some more commercial guys, I am just not too familiar.

Christopher Arata Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I like Daniel Pearl ASC, for his commercial work. He does some great 120FPS work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Williamson Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 As Christopher says, Daniel Pearl, ASC is one of the best. I've included a link to his website, his resume is incredible. I would recommend watching his general reel (especially the first Gatorade spot) and his beauty reel (my favorite being the Shania Twain "Feel Like A Woman" video). http://danielpearldp.com/ Though not as legendary as Pearl, Claudio Miranda is quite accomplished and does fantastic work. I would recommend the Heinecken "Beer Run" spot he did with Fincher, and the "Grey Goose Oyster" spot. http://www.claudiomiranda.com Also I love Paul Cameron, ASC. There was a previous version of his reel that had some old spots I thought were great, there was this Bacardi ad with tons of sweet overexposure... anyways, this what he's currently got online, there's a "Harley Earl" Buick spot towards the end of his commercial reel that's great. http://dda.wiredrive.com/l/p/?presentation...8b12b08aae333aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Arata Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I agree Mike, I also Like Paul Cameron ASC, he has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Rupe Whiteman Posted May 5, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2008 ... thanks for the links Adam... interesting to see more of Jess Hall's work as I liked the way Hot Fuzz was shot... Claudio Miranda's site is worth a look at too!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Hal Smith Posted May 5, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2008 Geoff Boyle is pretty slick - but then anyone who shot Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible" music video then got to shoot a reprise as a Pepsi commercial is high on my envy list.

Jon Rosenbloom Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I did a commercial w/ Crille Forsberg, and I was really impressed by the feel of his framing, totally natural - like the camera just fell where it did, but totally slick and commercial at the same time.
