DEAN CUNDEY ASC
Born: 1945, Alhambra, Los Angeles, USA, as Dean A. Cundey.
Education: School of Theater, Film and Television of the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA] [1968-70].
Career: Got his start handling makeup for 2 Roger Corman productions: 'Naked Angels' [1969, d: Bruce Clark, ph: Robert Eberlein] and 'Gas-s-s-s!/Gas!' [1970, d: Roger Corman, ph: Ron Dexter; + c.op 3rd cam]. After that he scrambled for several years doing pickup shots/inserts and assisting film editors. Became gaffer. In order to increase his marketability as a cinematographer, Cundey outfitted a location truck with camera and grip equipment - then included himself - in what was a complete filmmaking package. 'It became my foot-in-the-door on a lot of low-budget films. I was able to provide a complete package of equipment and also myself to a producer. Having my own equipment meant that I could do a better job. So it was a win-win situation.' He shot some 20-25 films for people who rented his van. Ph commercials [dir by Sam Raimi, Bruce Logan, David Hogan, John Glenn, Kevin Dole, a.o.] and music videos. Was interviewee in 'Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography' [1991]. Appeared in the doc's 'The Making of "Jurassic Park"' [1995, John Schultz; ph: Shawn Maurer], 'The Thing: Terror Takes Shape' [1998, Michael Matessino; 83m], "'Halloween' Unmasked 2000" [1999, Mark Cerulli], 'Tales from the Mist: Inside the Fog' [2001, prod: Jeffrey Schwarz; 28m] and 'Halloween: A Cut Above the Rest' [2003, Steven Smith]. Honorary member of the SOC.
