Explosions, beautiful bikini-clad girls, yachts and Navy SEALs. What else could a man want? If you are the DP, it starts with an equipment list to turn these elements into exciting footage. Shane Hurlbut, ASC, a native of Ithaca, N.Y., is helping to lead the charge into the convergence of the still- and video-camera worlds. For his latest project, his weapon of choice is the Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR camera, and he takes it where few movie cameras would dare venture. Hurlbut and his crew are among the first to use this hybrid camera for a studio motion picture, The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday (working title), which is due for release in September 2010.

One Cinematographer is breaking new ground with a hybrid HDSLR platform camera. Another has made his mark on both sides of the Atlantic, with recent stateside recognition coming for a Nike sport he shot that earned AICP honors in both the Cinematography and Production categories this year. A third DP is embarking on a new chapter in his career, which is already quite accomplished with such seminal music videos as Police's "Every Breath You Take" and Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" - not to mention assorted features and commercials. And a fourth has scored with the acclaimed Oasis Dig Out Your Soul In The Street mini-documentary, part of a campaign from BBH New York that won a GRANDY at the 2009 International ANDY Awards, as well as AICP Next's Integrated Campaign and Audience Award honors.
