Cinematographer-DP List
Here is a list of DP's that I found on the net. It basically runs down the guy's top 50 DP's and their movies. I haven't seen around a 3rd of these movies but it would probably help all of us to be able to get our knowledge base a little farther away from what comes out in Hollywood every year. As RED One Camera owners and renters we have a responsibility to look at our tools as every bit as capable of whatever most of these films were shot on and with. (This is not a Film v RED debate, rather I am saying that we need to maximize our hardware).
