They're the unsung heroes of any film shoot. Heading into awards
season, The Hollywood Reporter's Carolyn Giardina and Matthew
Belloni gathered six of the top cinematographers in the business --
Dion Beebe ("Nine"), Roger Deakins ("A Serious Man"), Greig Fraser
("Bright Star"), Stephen Goldblatt ("Julie & Julia"),
International Cinematographers Guild president Steven Poster ("The
Box") and Eric Steelberg ("(500) Days of Summer," "Up in the Air")
-- to talk shop.
The Hollywood Reporter: How do you define great
cinematography?
Roger Deakins: I'm open to suggestions! (Laughs.) No. If it
tells a story. If it's a seamless mix with all the other elements
of the film. I've got this thing against images that strike you as
being wonderful for their own sake. Click www.hollywoodreporter.com for the whole story.
