Seriously, this is the last one. DP's.

As he is one of the best known cinematographers, I have to tip my proverbial hat to Shane Hurlbut, ASC, for his role in the advancement of the DSLR for use in film. The first time "The Last Three Minutes" was right after the 5d gained the ability to shoot 24p, and from then until last week, it was my goal to get my hands on a DSLR. Just seeing how he was able to achieve so much more with this camera than anyone had before was so captivating to me. That being said, it is not surprising that he was the youngest cinematographer ever to be nominated for an award for a debut film in the history of the American Society for Cinematographers. Having worked on "Terminator Salvation," "We Are Marshall," and many other huge blockbusters, I have immense respect for Shane in his ability to ignore the stipulation of using a cheap camera, but finding a creative way to use it.

Here is the aforementioned short, "The Last Three Minutes."
