Roger Deakins... You only think you don't know who he is, but I'm sure you've seen his work. Roger Deakins, BSC, ASC, is a multi-award winning, 8 time Oscar Nominated Cinematographer, who has shot almost every film by the Coen Brothers, Shawshank Redemption, Revolutionary Road, Doubt, The Assassination of Jesse James... the list goes on.
Needless to say, he knows his stuff. And the best thing about him is that he's not a secret keeper. He shares his knowledge with anyone who asks.
RogerDeakins.com is a great resource for anyone interested in cinematography, I spent nearly a whole day roaming around the forums reading through his responses. So, check it out. He gives out way more information than any other pro that I know of.
So the next time, you watch a The Big Lebowski, you'll know who sat behind the camera, shooting "The Dude."
