The ACO - Presidents POV

President's POV

jQuery Ticker

"Its better for the film and production to have one person focused on operating and the other on the job of the DP. There is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly operated shot."

Don Burgess ASC

"`You can`t make a good film without a good operator.` (at Operators Night 2012, at the age of 100!)"

Wolfgang Suschitzky, Cinematographer

"Every director worth his salt believes his life depends on his telling the story properly: that`s why I put mine in the hands of the operator."

John Moore, Director

"Having my camera operator allows me the time and space to concentrate on the look of the scene. Schedule-related pressures mean that I am not detracted from lighting while my operator can deal with the mechanics of the shot."

Alexander Witt Director/DoP

"In the end an Operator is the eye that sees what the camera sees and can point out mistakes or opportunities for improvement that nobody else notices. This is invaluable."

Andy Wilson, Director

"I`ve worked with a camera operator on every production since my first feature film. I would certainly not want to work without one."

Joe Wright, Director

"...great films are hand made by no one individual, but a talented group that bring their spirit to the screen."

Shelly Johnson, ASC

"Operators are human, (most of them), therefore they come with experience, knowledge, and craftsmanship. They are part of the machine of filmmaking, its physical, as well as its thinking process."

Philippe Rousselot, AFC, ASC
