It happened, after seeing some films as just happened watching Last Action Hero on Blu Ray last nite, that you have the feeling that there was a common denominator in the aesthetic sense of the images and of the camera’s movements or better a overall quality in modus operandi. Now This phenomenon for me has a name, Duane C. Manwiller and his last name is quality and professionalism ; He hit my eyes since 1990,fluent collaborator with some of greatest Cinematographers like Dante Spinotti A.S.C A.I.C,Maxime Alexandre A.I.C , Paul Cameron A.S.C and Directors as Michael Mann ; Curtis Hanson ; Steven Soderbergh ; Kathrin Bigelow and Brett Ratner , Duane often is credited as Camera Operator, 1st and 2nd Assistant Camera , Steadicam Operator, 2nd unit and additional Director Of Photography , Cinematographer and Producer;
Below a list of remarkable films that unconsciously I Own on Blu Ray , DVD and VHS ,so all of these have make me reach the conclusion that he’s one the secrets of the aspect of the filmic success.KUDOS!!
