When the Society of Camera Operators presented their 2014 Lifetime Achievement Awards this past March 8th, they fittingly created a stunning short film chronicling the fascinating history of the movie camera from its humble beginnings more than a century ago, to its state-of-the-art current form today. Edited by Bob Joyce, the video is made even more captivating with the music of John Murphy’s “Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)”. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be impressed by the remarkable history and evolution of cinema’s most fundamentally important instrument of technology.
