Edited by Bob Joyce for the Society of Camera Operators 2014 Lifetime Achievement Awards where Peter Taylor (Gravity) won Camera Operator of the Year for Feature Film and Don Devine (“Mad Men”) won Camera Operator of the Year for Television the following four minute video, featuring the past, present and future of the motion picture camera was shown.
Set to the tune of John Murphy‘s “Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)”, the video is sure to feature some familiar faces and films from Louis Lumiere‘s Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory to the likes of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin and on through the years. It includes the introduction of Cinerama and VistaVision, the RED camera and IMAX up to and including films such as Zodiac, Collateral, Avatar, Gravity and Her. Give it a watch, I bet you’ll enjoy it.
