    • Quotes
      Being typecast as a specific kind of cinematographer is the worst thing that can happen to you. After I got out of aerial work and started lighting sets, people joked for years that there was no way I could fit my helicopter into the soundstage. To others it was more serious: how could I know anything about lighting? To them I was just an aerial cameraman. Later, after I went from features to TV work, I had to re-prove myself to some people because now I was a "TV guy." It hasn't always been easy.
