Professional Cinematographers talk & exchange ideas & information about Cinematography.
The Cinematography Mailing List, CML, was started by Geoff Boyle in 1996 so that 60 Cinematographers could talk about work. We now have 20 lists, with a total of over 16,000 members, 9 lists with more than 4,000 members and 10 with over 2,500 members. Over 42 million messages were sent out in the last year with a successful delivery rate of over 99%.
We work extremely hard to make this list an international one and not one that focuses on local issues.
We added this website of edited pages in 1997, we now have over 3,000 pages of edited discussions between cinematographers, their crews and equipment and facility suppliers.
CML has won awards from SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) BKSTS (British Kinematography, Sound & Television Society) BSC (British Society of Cinematographers) for outstanding contribution to education in Cinematography.
This site and the associated cinematography discussion lists are run and maintained by professional Cinematographers in their spare time. We have people helping with this in the UK, Canada, US, Australia and Germany, in order of time zones from server.
The aim of CML is to promote the free exchange of ideas among fellow professionals. Participants in these discussion are Cinematographers and their crew as well as representatives of all the main manufacturing and rental film & video/digital companies
"There's something about Cinematographers, and the passion we bring to our work, that gives us a sense of being blood brothers. We have a love and admiration for each other, and a desire to help each other out" Conrad Hall ASC |
