Olle Sjostrom Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Tragic news again. Mark Milsome, a camera operator, died on set on Nov 18 shooting a stunt scene. Very sad. I don't have any connections with him, just saw the news. Very little is known about the actual accident, what happened and why. http://deadline.com/2017/11/camera-operator-mark-milsome-dies-stunt-forgiving-earth-bbc-netflix-drama-republic-1202212192/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Mark was brought up into the business - his father was Douglas Milsome, who was a very well known operator and then DoP for Stanley Kubrick. Mark was just on the cusp of operator/DoP and was an absolutely delightful breath of fresh air to work with. Not a hint of attitude or self importance. He was quietly confident, and let his work speak for him. He was one of the most human and easy going people I have ever met and worked with, as described by someone yesterday, a real gentle gentleman. Everyone over here is stunned and shocked. I have heard no more details of what actually happened, other than a car stunt went tragically wrong. It really is very, very, sad.

mikewest Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Very sad! I worked with Doug his father in a film in NZ - very funny man. Had a great face off with a director and said "you couldn't direct traffic" mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
