This book examines the art and craft of motion picture photography
through a veteran professional cinematographer's personal
experiences on five major motion pictures, each selected to
illustrate a particular series of challenges for the
photographer."Every Frame a Rembrandt" is an expression heard on
sound stages and locations the world over. While in most cases the
expression is used lightly and not infrequently with a certain
amount of sarcasm, its true meaning speaks highly of most
cinematographers' commitment to producing the best, most
interesting, unusual and memorable images for the screen. Through
the five films he selected for this book Laszlo is able to show the
broad range of complexity in motion picture photography, from the
relatively simple "point and shoot" in the typcal western to
complex in-camera effects. In recounting his "war stories" Laszlo
is able to show the day to day activities of a cinematographer
before, during and after filming the project, discussing equipment,
film stocks, testing, labs, unions, agents, budget requirements,
and working with the director and producer. The five films
discussed are Southern Comfort, The Warriors, Rambo: First Blood,
Streets of Fire, and Innerspace. The book is illustrated throughout
with production stills from Laszlo's extensive collection (12 in a
color insert).
