Richard Moore (cinematographer)
Richard Moore (born October 4, 1925 in Jacksonville , Illinois , † August 16, 2009 in Palm Springs , California ) was an American cameraman and film director .
Life
Moore, a graduate of the University of Southern California , founded in 1953 by Robert Gottschalk , the company Panavision . Both worked in a camera shop and had developed cheaper anamorphic widescreen projection lenses in experiments in underwater photography . At that time the cinemas needed such devices to be able to show the Cinemascope films in the correct format. In 1960 both received the Scientific and Engineering Award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . At the beginning of the 1970s, the company developed a handheld camera that could also record sound.
In the early 1960s, Moore left the company to work on films with the devices himself and became a cameraman for a number of well-known films, such as With Iron Fists , That Was Roy Bean and Annie . In 1978 he also directed; the film The Blind Master's Secret , however, was not a great success.
2004 Moore was with the President's Award of the American Society of Cinematographers awarded.
