5. Moonrise Kingdom – Robert D. Yeoman
For his typical use of lighting to convey the whimsy at
hand. The third-act storm is quite magnificent.
4. Wuthering Heights – Robbie Ryan
For shooting it with such searing emotion, the kind his
director always ministers. He still remains (along with Barry Ackroyd) the best
at shaky-cam.
3. Life of Pi – Claudio Miranda
For creating (along with his
director) some of the year's most indelible images, through and through.
Despite the film many effects, his work cannot be denied.
2. The Master – Mihai Malaimare Jr
For all those large-film,
ravishing, picturesque compositions of seeping emotion rising to the surface.
Dear God, so much face!
1. Skyfall – Roger Deakins
For the Istanbul sequence and
the Shanghai sequence and the London sequence and the Scotland sequence and
everything else in-between. Every set-piece is imprinted in the brain because
of his expert use of cinematic language. Sure, he may be showing off, but why
wouldn't you want him to.
Runner Up: Cloud Atlas – Frank Griebe, John Toll
