Cinematographers take auds to extreme realities
By Behind The Scenes TV on Aug 7, 2008 in Filmmaking, TV
Today’s reality shows, far-flung competitions and exotic dramas rely on dangerous challenges. Men climb the masts of a fishing boat in violent Arctic seas, fighting their equipment. Or race through an Indian market, working out a mental puzzle while hauling heavy weights.
And that’s not even the contestants — it’s the camera department.
The jobs of TV cinematographers and their camera crews in extreme conditions can be as dramatic as anything viewers see on camera.
