MAFFE Awards 2008!! The Editors and Cinematographers

These two categories are so important in giving the film it's overall look and flow. If you succeed in this, you can make a dull boring film vivid and captivating.

The nominees are!







Reading left to right (like a book).

"Into The Wild" - Jay Cassidy
The Action, Adventure, Romance and Drama all blended together flawlessly.

"No Country for Old Men" - Joel and Ethan Coen
The pacing was so intense I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

"Ratatouille" - Darren T. Holmes
Sure it may be animated but he took you from chase scenes to kitchen chaos brilliantly.

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" - Juliette Kaminski
The the eyes opening, staying in his world throughout the film was deftly handled

"There WIll Be BLood" - Dylan Tichenor
Another case of masterful pacing. One of those films you know you should be bored in, but just are not.

"Zodiac" - Angus Wall
How I didn't notice the time in such a long movie is simply amazing.








Seamus McGarvey - "Atonement"
Every scene painted with beauty and drama. Brilliant use of colour and framing.



Martin Ruhe - "Control"
Take any frame from this and you have a stunning record sleeve.



Alwin H. Kuchler - "Sunshine"
The hot of the sun and and cold of space made me sweat and shiver.



Roger Deakins - "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
The Master once again stuns.



Janusz Kaminski - "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
Totally inventive and clever while at stunningly poetic and at time horrific.



Robert Elswit - "There Will Be Blood"
I could feel the dryness of the desert in my mouth. Simply Epic work.

I also loved the technical work on Sunshine.
Can't wait to see the rest.
