Janusz Kaminski, Cinematographer
(629 words)
Janusz Kaminski, finally a dad at 45, is managing just fine with his two-week-old (at press time) twins, Bruce and Helena, though he says, “All they want to do is eat and sleep right now.” Speaking of which, Helena drains a bottle offered by Kaminski and falls asleep while her dad discusses his beloved craft.
Kaminski is two weeks away from commencing color-timing sessions for Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, and a few months away from starting production on Spielberg's next project, still untitled (at press time), about the terrorist attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Kaminski says all this with what he calls “total respect” for the digital arts, and even heaps effusive praise on a 2002 film called Edi, shot and color-timed digitally by his Polish countrymen, director Piotr Trzaskalski and DP Krzysztof Ptak.
ICG Magazine -The Hunt For Black September (1973 words)
Kaminski used a bleach bypass process on the negative in scenes where he wanted a substantially harsher look, including the opening scene at the Olympics and when Avner is having flashbacks.
Kaminski explains that it’s a story about hunting humans, so the camera is almost always moving, motivated by the characters and what is happening in the scene.
Kaminski describes the rendering of colors as though he were a painter talking about the palette he chose to create a work of art.
