I believe that is one reason why crewmembers such as those we had in London can become emotionally attached to a project. Filmmaking is an interchange of creative ideas that either hits upon a point of collaboration or doesn’t. I believe that when minds come together who are meant to be together, that creatively charged atmosphere is conveyed on the screen and directly to the audience. That’s how truly great films have affected me. When I think back on the cinematography I’ve admired over the years, it’s usually not the prettiest film or the film with the most dazzling action footage that impresses me. Although I respect those types of movies, the films that get inside me with their emotional treatment of a story are the ones that hit home. It’s a delicate phenomenon, because a cinematographer has to be ready to give of himself to an audience. Actually, I don’t think I was truly ready to do that, to step well outside of my safety zone in order to communicate an idea with the director and the actors, until just a few years ago. I had to learn how to take a risk without being 100-percent assured of the outcome, to trust the feeling that my concept was the appropriate direction to take. When I see or read interviews with my favorite cinematographers, such as ASC members Gregg Toland, James Wong Howe, Conrad Hall and Allen Daviau, I notice that when they discuss their artistry, they almost always pass the credit for their accomplishments to another person. They shot some of the most incredible images in movie history, and they understood that they could not claim cinematography to be a solitary form, but rather an essential component of the art of film. I think the collective spirit of the entire production team is what makes great things happen on the screen. For me, The Wolfman’s success will be measured by the truth with which it reaches the audience.
