Lost: The Cinematography Team

Synopsis
A close-up close look at the production team responsible for the television series LOST. Introduced by Jorge Garcia, cinematographers Michael Bonvillian and John Bartley explain the advantages of shooting alternate episodes which affords each of them prep time with the director and input on location choices and scheduling. Go along on a location Tech Scout and sit in on the Production meeting, then see the scenes being shot. LOST shoots with two cameras and there are interviews with the camera operators, the first assistants (focus pullers) and the second assistants (clappers) explaining the responsibilities of their jobs and how they fulfill them. The film loader, gaffer and grip describe what their their jobs involve. The dolly grip explains how he works with the operator and the focus puller, and how he hits his marks with the camera on the end of a crane. Take a tour of the special vehicles and equipment that have been developed for shooting on a sandy beach or in a jungle. Cast members Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, Terry O’Quinn, Jorge Garcia and Adewale Akinnouye-Agabaje express their admiration and respect for the work done by the cinematography team.

Includes bonus material and a CD-ROM for students and faculty.
