EXAMPLES FROM TOM GUILMETTE who is considered one of the best cinematographer/DP/camera operator for super high speed filming:

Explore his homepage: http://tomguilmette.com/




Tom primarily shoots with the PHANTOM FLEX camera

My favorite director as of right now is Dennis Villeneuve-- he has directed Enemy, Prisoners, Sicario, and the upcoming Blade Runner sequel. He studied film at the University of Quebec at Montreal and directed/wrote his own short films until he garnered enough experience to tackle a low budget feature.

I'll focus on Enemy for this post.

Nicolas Buldoc was the cinematographer for the movie. He is a friend of Villeneuve and also attended the same college. Buldoc tends to do more artistic films, thus his film selection isn't the most mainstream. I think some people tend to believe that more gross = better movie. I like that he doesn't just do any old film, he really wants to be attracted to the story, not the mainstream success.

As far as I could research, I did not find that he was a part of any organization.

Here is a video of him talking about the film and working with Dennis.
