Gerald Leslie "Gerry" Turpin (born 1 September 1925 in Wandsworth, London; died 16 September 1997 in North Cotswold, Gloucestershire) was an English film cameraman and award-winning cinematographer. ==Biography== Turpin began his career in 1945 at Ealing Studios as a camera assistant to Douglas Slocombe and Stanley Pavey. From 1953 he worked as a camera operator, and worked with the likes of Pavey, Gordon Dines, Desmond Dickinson, Otto Heller, Gilbert Taylor, Reginald H. Wyer and Harry Waxman. In 1961 he made his first film as director of photography, ''The Queen's Guards'' with director Michael Powell. His first collaboration with Bryan Forbes in 1964, ''Seance on a Wet Afternoon'', earned him a nomination at the 1965 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). For his next film with Forbes, 1967's ''The Whisperers'', he received a BAFTA Award for Best Cinematography. For his camera work in Richard Attenborough's directing debut ''Oh! What a Lovely War'', Turpin received the 1969 BSC Best Cinematography Award〔http://www.bscine.com/2011/bsc-best-cinematography-award/〕 and his second BAFTA. For his second collaboration with Attenborough, ''Young Winston'', Turpin developed a camera lens mounted device called ColorFlex which represented an alternative to traditional pre-exposure (flashing) of the negative film in the lab. The pre-exposure of the film material means brightening of dark portions is achieved. From 1973 Turpin developed his ColorFlex system into a comprehensive system called Flex which was used by cameramen such as Oswald Morris (1978 in ''The Wiz''), Freddie Francis (1984 ''Dune''), Sven Nykvist (1984 ''Swann in Love''), Adam Greenberg (1987 ''La Bamba'') and Jost Vacano (1990 ''Total Recall''). In the 56th Academy Awards (1984) received Turpin for Flex a technical Oscar (Scientific and Engineering Award). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerry Turpin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
