	VILMOS ZSIGMOND MAKES A MCDONALD'S COMMERCIAL, by James Hughes
		Vilmos Zsigmond, the internationally acclaimed, Hungarian-born cinematographer, stood alone next to his Panavision camera long after the rest of the crew had cleared the set.
		Zsigmond, then a student at the Academy of Film and Theater Arts in Budapest, had filmed a politically-charged documentary about the Hungarian revolution and thus became a target of the encroaching Soviets.
		Zsigmond just stood there, compulsively tucking and untucking his shirt, fighting his knee-jerk reaction to wipe down the lens with his cotton shirttails.

	The Sadist DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Despite what the title may imply, the film is not a horror film, but a suspenseful tale of a rebellious white trash killer and his uncaring moll and an the unlucky trio who happen to cross paths with the cold blooded killers.
		Zsigmond is a master of using light, flness, and shadows to achieve the desired effect, and in the case of THE SADIST, he uses these light/dark texture mixing to reflect Tibbs changes in temper and attitude.
		Film historian and author Stuart Galbraith interviews Vilmos Zsigmond, (who has a thick accent and is a little difficult to understand) but the commentary should be interesting for fans of the film.

		But Vilmos had a variety of coverage of those scenes with two or three cameras, so in the next pass, we pulled back and opened up the scope of the movie a lot more.
		In particular, Smith says the project benefited from “lots of crane work that allowed us to move the camera in ways I haven't really done before.” He adds that, at first, he wasn't sure how this would be possible since much of the film's key interior scenes were shot inside small rooms.
		But Zsigmond's longtime key grip, Dicky Deats, offered up his invention, the Little Big Crane, which enabled the fluid camera movement in tight quarters (and which won Deats a Technical Achievement Academy Award in 1983).
