American Cinematographer - April 2012 - 83

recording of cinematographers sitting around a conference table and talking, but fortunately, the ASC prepared a dynamic program packed with enlightening activities, which included discussions at the Clubhouse and field trips to sites such as Panavision, Mole Richardson, Sony’s 3-D Technology Center, Universal’s Virtual Stage, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ Pickford Center. During our visit to Sony’s 3-D facility, we were treated to a comprehensive seminar on 3-D cinematography; our trip to Universal’s Virtual Stage allowed us to see how virtual cinematography works, and to understand how this technology can be applied on modestly budgeted productions; and the program at the Pickford Center included presentations on solidstate lighting, an assessment of the spectral sensitivity of various digital cameras, and a seminar on the preservation of digital motion pictures. A particularly interesting presentation at Pickford concerned the IIF-ACES workflow, which was explained by two of the key figures involved in its development: Andy Maltz and Ray Feeney of the Academy’s Science and Technology Council. This new color-management system offers some tremendous advantages in various areas of our work. Old-timers who are not acquainted with a new technology can be slow to embrace it, but I think IIF-ACES will encourage cinematographers to be more daring, because we will risk less. At the Clubhouse, all of our discussions eventually circled back to the concern we share about the cinematographer’s role in image making. We never reached a definitive answer on how to ensure that we’re involved in the crucial phases of prep and post, but we did agree that establishing a project’s look is not exclusively aesthetic or technical. Who, ultimately, controls the final look of a film? My ASC colleague Vittorio Storaro steadfastly maintains that cinematographers are the true “authors of the image,” but he also cautions that our status as such has always been in jeopardy. Some concluded that we should have no illusions about our evolving role: we are not the gods we once were, or at least thought we were. (Months later, at Camerimage in Poland, Stephen Goldblatt,
