The master cinematographer came to the department last night to talk about his experiences. He was kind enough to arrange a screening of a 35mm print of There Will Be Blood, for which he is nominated for an Oscar.
To be honest, I didn't really know his work until I checked him out on imdb, and learned that he's shot some of favourite movies of the past few years: Michael Clayton, Good Night, and Good Luck and Magnolia. An impressive CV.
He mostly spoke about TWBB, working with Paul Thomas Anderson and his unorthodox approach to filmmaking.
He himself said that he's not (nor will Tony Gilroy) going to win on Sunday night, but he'll always be #1 in our hearts. Yeah I said that.
