	MTV Movies \| Hal Mohr \| Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		American cinematographer Hal Mohr's love of films grew from the rubble of the San Francisco earthquake.
		In 1929's Broadway, Mohr was put in charge of an elaborate camera crane that permitted him to break new ground in the realm of camera mobility.
		Mohr won an Oscar under more orthodox voting circumstances for his Technicolor work on the 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera.

	Hal Mohr
		A full director of photography by 1918, Mohr frequently worked for independent entrepreneurs outside of the Studio System, which obliged him to solve tricky cinematic problems with mechanical innovations of his own; he even maintained his own developing lab to achieve the best results at minimum cost.
		In 1927, he was engaged to shoot the landmark early talkie The Jazz Singer, which meant that he was among the first movie technicians to tackle the creative handicaps imposed by the microphone.
		Because of his arbitration efforts during the Hollywood strike of 1933, Mohr was considered "persona non grata" among his fellow cameramen; thus it was that Mohr's name was not included on the ballot for the 1936 Academy Awards ceremony.

		Several notables were in the cast: James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Olivia de Havilland, Joe E. Brown, Dick Powell and Victor Jory.
		Notably, Hal Mohr was not nominated for his work on the movie; he won the Oscar thanks to a grass-roots write-in campaign.
		The next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences declared that it would not accept write-in votes for the awards.

		Some of the scenes, such as a moonlight chase on the lake, were achieved with a combination of a constructed three-foot-deep lake and miniatures.
		Cameraman Hal Mohr recalled that for the miniature lake, Oliver used flax seed on which he sprinkled aluminum powder.
		Cinematographer Hal Mohr discounted that as well: "There wasn't an alligator within ten miles of Miss Pickford," he scoffed.

		When she departs with the dawn, she performs a riveting solo which diminishes to a pas de deux between her left and right hands.
		When it appeared that Reinhardt’s magnificent forest couldn’t be lit or filmed properly amid the technical limits of 1935, Mohr devised a solution using aluminum paint, veils of theatrical cobweb and every tiny glittering object he and his crew could lay their hands on.
		Reinhardt’s conception became so blazingly visible that Mohr -- who for some perverse reason was not nominated -- later won the Academy Award for cinematography purely by a write-in vote.
