John Alton the maestro of the Film Noir atmosphere

John Alton was an American cinematographer. He made is feature film debut in 1927 with The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg. Alton won an Academy Award for cinematography of An American in Paris, becoming the first Hungarian-born person to win it. Alton is most famous for films noir style of the classic period . "But when I'd take most any director aside and ask him to sit down with me, he'd look at me as if I were crazy. He'd say, 'I've never sat down with a cameraman to talk about these things. What do you mean? You just pump a lot of light in!' I'd say 'You don't 'pump' light into a scene. That light has to tell something. There's a meaning, and it establishes a mood.' That was the difference between my pictures and some of the others: [in mine], each mood was different. The mood had to be done with lighting. That's my profession — not the lighting and how to light, but bringing out the mood." ...

James 2008 - Tim Booth

Ποτέ δεν μπόρεσα να καταλάβω πώς ένας μοντέρνος χορευτής, ιδιόρυθμος ηθοποιός ξεσήκωσε τα εφηβικά μου όνειρα, φώλιασε στις απόκρυφες σκέψεις και επιθυμίες μου, τραγούδησε τα συναισθήματά μου..κέρδισε τα πρώτα riffs στις μουσικές χορδές μου, σιγοψιθύρισε σκόπους αναζήτησης στα βήματά μου...μου έριξε φως στις σκοτεινές πλευρές του έρωτα και κάθισε σαν αγκάθι στα συναισθήματά μου..κάτι που δεν με εγκαταλείπει όπως κάθε δάκρυ πόνου ή αγάπης που έχουμε μέσα μας όταν δεν το έχουμε δεχτεί. Οι James κυκλοφόρησαν το νέο album "Hey Ma" Δεν θα ήθελα να μπω άμεσα στη διαδικασία παράθεσης συναισθημάτων για τον ήχο και τα διάφορα ακούσματα, πραγματικά είναι νωρίς...όσοι αγάπησαν το "Seven" , το " Laid" ή το "millionaires" θα καταλάβουν ότι πρέπει να αφεθούν πρώτα, να δοθούν στην μουσική και μετά να κρίνουν... Στα χρόνια της εφηβείας μας στο σχολείο ακούσαμε πρώτη φορά το " So many ways " και το μουσικό ταξίδι μόλις είχε αρχίσει..Πιστεύετε ότι τ...
