Carter, Richard P. Crudo, Goi, Johnny E. Jensen, Rexford Metz, Schaefer and Dante Spinotti. “We [in the ASC] love to share information, to share our experiences,” said Dibie, encouraging the capacity audience to ask questions. The consensus among the panel was to not get distracted by constantly changing technology. “Technology is a tool,” saidSpinotti, who urged the audience to instead focus on culture, aesthetics and art. “You need ideas.” “You are creating a visual language, and that language is meant to evoke an emotion in the audience, so use your eyes as the gateway to the heart,” added Jensen. “Stay focused on what it is we actuallydo as cinematographers.” Agreeing with Jensen, Burum urged aspiring cinematographers to study and understand acting and editing. “These are the things that give you inspiration to do what is required for a scene,” he said. In closing, Dibie advised aspiring cinematographers to “learn to work with all these people who interfere with our jobs.” Then, he offered his three keys for success in any job: “Smell good, have a good attitude and work very hard.” ●
