PRO TIPS
" Ask good questions - that's a
start. Listen well. "
cinematographic images - that process gives
you a certain humility. A good dolly grip is a
precious commodity to me. When I was in film
school, I remember I always wanted to serve as
dolly grip on student productions. When you
are working in a collaboration-based art form,
it's really important to have an understanding
of the skills other people are providing.
Hofmann: If you know how to do it, you can
tell somebody how to do it and recognize if it's
well done or not.
Dill: I never wanted to be a camera assistant as a Black cinematographer, and I probably wouldn't if I were a woman, because I felt
like I'd stay somebody's assistant. I know some
Should I learn how to do other jobs on brilliant operators who are Black, and they've
set before I start pursuing the position of been doing it for years, who could probably
make that move to cinematographer but have
cinematographer?
Vincent: For one thing, it's really fun to gain not. I don't have a problem with a young cinean experientially based knowledge of all the matographer starting out with smaller work as
elements that need to come together to make a cinematographer, as opposed to doing bigger
community. You have mates, you have friends
that you went to school with, and those are the
people that you wind up getting the next job
from. Obviously, the background in film, the
ability to make a film, the understanding of
film - that's really important.
Bill Dill, ASC: I don't think film school is a
prerequisite. I studied film in undergrad, but I
didn't see a grad school that offered the kind
of rigorous program I was looking for. I started
teaching at AFI because I wanted to create the
program I would have wanted to attend - to
teach things I would have killed for someone
simply to tell me.
