W ith Michelle Pfeiffer on the cover and profiles inside of, among
others, Tony Pierce-Roberts BSC and the late, great camera operator Mike Roberts, EXPOSURE was launched exactly 10 years ago. In the first of a two-part Retrospective,
we look back at the first five years of the magazine through the words of the great cameramen and women - some, sadly, no longer with us - who have graced these pages since 1997.
Proving that the show must go on, we have three fresh profiles in our regular Behind the Camera series. Citing such mentors as Roger Deakins BSC and Michael Seresin BSC, Andrew Speller rose through the ranks to become a busy DP in television working on productions like Perfect Day, Little Devil and, most recently, Empathy, two hour-long dramas in a new series called Supernatural. Still only in his thirties, Marcel Zyskind has, for the past five years worked regularly with director Michael Winterbottom on features like Code 46, A Cock And Bull Story and, currently, A Mighty Heart, with Angelina Jolie, as well as the award-winning drama documentaries, In This World and The Road To Guantanamo. He has also shot Harmony Korine’s latest feature, Mister Lonely, co-starring Samantha Morton, Denis Lavant and Diego Luna.
For Nigel Willoughby, who belatedly became a cinematographer after 17 years as a top camera operator, this past year has been non-stop. He shot Ken Loach’s new film, These Times, followed by the director’s segment in a 60th Anniversary Cannes Festival Tribute, and also Puffball, Nicolas Roeg’s first feature for more than 10 years. He also re-united with filmmaker Gillies MacKinnon,
for whom he’d previously lit The Escapist and a miniseries, Gunpowder, Treason And Plot, on a new adaptation of HG Wells’ Edwardian classic, THE HISTORY OF MR POLLY, with Lee Evans, Anne-Marie Duff and Julie Graham. We look behind the scenes of this ITV1 drama, which, despite being set in Kent, was all shot in Wales.
THE MAGAZINE • ISSUE 37 • WINTER 2007
As for our Cover Story, the title almost speaks for itself. Hollywood star Carmen Electra plays porn legend Candy Fiveways in the sexy new British comedy I WANT CANDY, about two film students (Tom Burke, Tom Riley) and their risqué graduation film. Directed by Steve Surjik, lit by Crighton Bone, the film also features Michelle Ryan, Eddie Marsan and Mackenzie Crook. There’s also a sexy undercurrent to the altogether more serious-minded, THE WALKER, his first film shot in the UK (and Isle of Man), doubling for Washington DC, by American writer-director, Paul Schrader. DP Chris Seager BSC tells us about the project, described as an unofficial ‘sequel’ to Schrader’s American Gigolo, starring Woody Harrelson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily Tomlin and Lauren Bacall.
Already doing the rounds is the long-awaited HANNIBAL RISING, prequel to bestselling saga by Thomas Harris, in which we learn how the young medical student first got the taste for human flesh and turned into the monster icon of four earlier films, including The Silence Of The Lambs. DP Ben Davis BSC reports on the challenge of helping cre- ate suspense and fear. To the gentler world of THE LIBRARY VAN, award-winning filmmaker Gideon Koppel’s new documentary feature, set across the changing seasons in the wild Wales countryside. “It was,” says Koppel, “important that the land- scape should not emerge merely as a geographic location or a pretty backdrop to peoples lives,
but it should almost have the presence of a character in the film.”
Plus Commercial Break featuring Alwin Küchler BSC and his work on DANGEROUS LIAISON, a new Levi’s ad, director Michel Gondry discussing his dreamy latest release, THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP, a reflection on GOAL II - LIVING THE DREAM, a tribute to some deserved award-winners, and a round-up of Fujifilm news in Festivals & Events. ■
