Veteran
D.A. Pennebaker, Pioneer of Cinéma Vérité in America, Dies at 94.
This man alone more than any other was the person who inspired me more than anything to choose "Working in pictures." I had been a Dylan fan since '62 but Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back" in '65 was it for me. One of the true founders of "run and gun." A shocking phrase but he really was an exponent of it with 10 minute loads and Tri X film. Amazing how he covered what he did with those limitations. One of the first to really use zoom lenses on the run. Mainly the early Angenieux glass.
Pennebaker truly was "The Cinema Vérité man" of his time. He left a Bio that will stand for ever:
