I recently discovered this
excellent podcast by Eastwood’s regular Cinematographer Jack N. Green
Jack N. Green, ASC, connects with
AC via Skype to discuss his work on Clint Eastwood’s acclaimed Western
Unforgiven. Touching on his three-decade collaboration with Eastwood, Green
discusses several aspects of the project, including the decision to shoot in
Alberta, Canada; how he worked with production designer Henry Bumstead to
develop a period-correct lighting scheme and muted color palette; the
importance of shooting anamorphic; and what it’s like to collaborate with a
director who is also the star.
Born in Daley City, Calif., Jack
N. Green, ASC, was enjoying still photography as a hobby and pursuing a career
as a barber — the family business — when one of his customers, a former combat
cameraman, asked him to help out at a new Bay Area production company. Green
subsequently spent more than 20 years working as a camera assistant and
operator on a variety of projects. He moved up to director of photography on
Eastwood’s Heartbreak Ridge, and his other features include Bird, The Bridges
of Madison County, Twister, Speed 2: Cruise Control and Girl, Interrupted.
Green received an ASC Award nomination for The Bridges of Madison County, and
he was honored with the ASC Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.
