Through the Lens of My Eye; Adventures of a Documentary Cameraman by Michael Boland
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 41.0 MB
Overview: WARNING: This is NOT a ‘How-to-be-a-documentary-cameraman’ book. Rather, this is a non-fiction book where I take the reader on different journeys throughout the world as I practiced my craft of 35 years – filming and making documentaries. The stories I chose to tell are filled with the most diverse group of characters in some of the remotest parts of the planet.
Most of these assignments were extreme, involving risk and they could have been fatal but fortunately, I hope you’ll agree, I survived to write about these adventures for all to share and enjoy. Every chapter is one of discovery, of new friends, of strange occurrences or odd-ball characters – from Greenland to Mt. Everest, the Congo, Peru and Brazil, Sumba in Indonesia, war-ravaged Afghanistan and the Middle East conundrum of Israel and Palestine. My job as a cinematographer was to capture the visual elements required to tell the story. There were inherent challenges to address and overcome, some hard and some, impossible. I tried to keep the technical aspects to a minimum but in some instances those technical details were intrinsic to the story. I made some wonderful friends and resourceful enemies. In many instances the locales were extremely remote and therefore off any tourist grid. The world of documentary filming allows a few of us to experience that.
