    Cinematographers are criminally underrated in Hollywood

      Shabab the Kabab sorry, i meant some live-action projects but animation cinematography because there are a few films that did some shots of hand-held motion, but I would like to do that throughout a film in order to win Best Cinematography from the BAFTA Awards.

      As long as I'm at least in the #10 spot I'm good, this is my career, a scary and risky choice that I will not turn away from, I will be the best at this, I will focus, I will not maybe earn that much money at first, I will probably earn no money at all in my first years and no one knows maybe in more years after that, I won't do this for the money I will do it for the art of cinematography cause I've always loved films, since I was 3, but I will make it to the top

    Where the hell is Sven Nykvist??? ...he was one of the most important and inspirational cinematographers for both American and European films, known for his frequent collaboration with Ingmar Bergman. He used a variety of natural lighting schemes both for black-and-white and color. As from a bio on him: "Nykvist used light to create mood and, more significantly, to bring out the natural flesh tones in the human face so that the emotion of the scene could be played out on the face without the light becoming intrusive."

    You should also look into the work of Freddie Young (Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter).
    Also, 1st and 2nd should be flip-flopped. Chivo (Lubezki) has already managed to far outshine Deakins in just the last few years, garnering THREE Oscars in a row.

    To me, Emmanuel Lubezki shoots for the awards with his breathtaking imagery and "creativity", where as Roger Deakins shoots for the narrative, subtle, efficient and simply beautiful. As in film as a whole, everything should serve and enhance the narrative - story and character. Roger Deakins deserves the top spot. Good Job, WatchMojo!

John Alcott who did Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining. Robby Muller and his work on films like Paris Texis and Down By Law. Frederick Elmes who shot Eraserhead and Blue Velvet. Greg Toland and his stunning work on Citizen Kane, Nicholas Roeg , before he was a director he was an accomplished cinematographer which marks his own works.
