PORTRAI

Sam Nicholson, ASC

hen I was growing up,

my father shot 8mm

home movies. I

remember waiting for the rolls

of Ektachrome to arrive in the

mail from Eastman Kodak

processing. After some quick

cutting and splicing, we’d

thread up an old, noisy

projector, and our latest

family adventure would

magically flicker to life on

the living-room wall.

“As an aspiring

cinematographer, I landed my

first job on

Star Trek: The

Motion Picture

, and I began to

practically memorize articles in

American Cinematographer .

I still rely on AC ’s

comprehensive stories and

detailed technical information

to keep me up to date on the

latest cameras, production

techniques and lighting

equipment. Over the years, the

tools have changed

dramatically, but the emotional

reward I get from shooting and

watching motion pictures

remains the same.”
