old school Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 For those who know him, and even more important, those that don't, Vilmos says a bunch in a short interview about the art of film craft. It shouldn't take long to read, even for non readers... CrewC http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-cm-ca-vilmos-zsigmond-conversation-20130616,0,6114921.story Sorry...

Marc Wielage Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Good story: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-cm-ca-vilmos-zsigmond-conversation-20130616,0,6114921.story My favorite quote from him: "I firmly believe that cinematographers keep learning until they die. New movies should look different from the old ones. So I think I'm an expert in lighting, and when too many people start knowing a lot about it, or they think they know a lot, that can be a problem." Ain't that the truth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I worked with Vilmos on "Life as a House" in 2000. He is definitely one of great cinematographers. His visual style on that feature was not too sound friendly - but who cares it was Vilmos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I worked with Vilmos on "Life as a House" in 2000. He is definitely one of great cinematographers. His visual style on that feature was not too sound friendly - but who cares it was Vilmos! +1 Richard. I had the pleasure of working with him on the UK end of Heavens Gate. Malcolm Davies. A.m.p.s.

Eric Toline Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sorry Eric. I was watching the NBA finals as I was posting. CrewC I was watching also. Was not happy with the result. Hopefully game 6 at the AAA will inspire the local boys. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I hate to tell ya but it'll be Spurs in 7... Vilmos & his crew, (Dickey & Jerry Deats) could be a handful for sound at times but I always got along with them and was even helped out now and again.;~) Besides agreeing with most of what Vilmos said in the interview, It was his long time friendship with Laszlo Kovacs and their approach to visualizing a story into a film that impressed me most. That and their wonderful voices. I could and did listen to their stories for hours & hours. I'm so happy he is still working. Like Haskell, work keeps you young going down the road.
