Podcast: Adventures of Anthony Dod Mantle, part I

Award-winning DP discusses playing with the SI2K system, “Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 Hours,” 3D, and lots more

With Academy Award nominations out, the movie awards’ season is now at full heat. In the cinematography category, last year’s big bling collector—the innovative Anthony Dod Mantle—wasn’t nominated this time around for a chance at back-to-back Oscar or ASC awards, although he and “127 Hours” co-DP Enrique Chediak were nominated for a BAFTA award for their work on that film. Still, when I reached Anthony recently by Skype after he had just wound up a long day of golf in Cape Town, South Africa, where he was shooting a European 3D sci-fi feature called “Dredd,” he chuckled about his doubts that “127 Hours” could earn him the same award recognition as “Slumdog Millionaire” did last year. He suggested that perhaps “127 Hours,” this year’s collaboration with director Danny Boyle, was “just a little radical for common taste.” Nonetheless, as with “Slumdog Millionaire” before it, “127 Hours” featured extensive and unique utilization of the Silicon Imaging 2k camera system that Mantle has been on the forefront of pioneering in feature films in recent years. He was gracious enough to spend his time recovering from golf to discuss those applications, and more, with me.
