Roger PRATT

* 27.02.1947, Leicester, England, GB

Chefkameramann (BSC) * Studium an der London Film School (/.../ I began thinking seriously about pursuing movies as a vocation. But being in the middle of England, nobody knew what to suggest as a course of action. It was only when I'd been to college that I decided to go to the London Film School. The people there were divided into two basic types: most people wanted to be directors, and the rest of us shot their films for them. Very early on I decided I didn't want to direct; I wanted to be involved in the camera side of it. But I still did a number of assignments with sound and editing just to get the experience." American Cinematographer) * arbeitet zunächst in einem Filmlabor und sammelt später weitere Erfahrungen als Assistent "on documentaries and any other productions he could find." * beginnt seine Karriere beim Film als Kamerassistent (camera assistant; Bleak Moments, 1971; "I was working on commercials, and I gradually moved up from loader to focus puller to doing a bit of operating. I was starting to do a bit of my own camerawork on drama documentaries, and it got to the point where I'd done a few commercials." American Cinematographer) * dreht zahlreiche Werbespots (commercials) * 1982 Debüt als Chefkameramann (The Sender) * arbietet des öfteren mit Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 1983/84 > "Brazil was a huge step up for me, and I was very grateful to Terry for giving me the chance") und Richard Attenborough (Shadowlands, 1993) zusammen * 1983-97 filmt - eher sporadisch - auch Fernsehproduktionen (Meantime, 1983; Scoop, 1986; Bernard and the Genie, 1991) * Anfang der 10er Jahre beendet seine Kinokarriere mit zwei kleinen Produktionen (Jadoo, gedreht in seiner Geburtsstadt; Keeping Rosy) * 2019 Ehrengast des BAFTA Tribute (for outstanding contribution to cinematography) | Bild: ?
