John Blankenship
Cinematography
In the early nineties, John began following his cinematic dreams and became involved in independent film. He developed his talents at writing and producing and soon became interested in adding cinematography to his skill set. Drawing upon several decades of still photography experience, John translated that knowledge into learning the unique requirements of cinematography.
In the late nineties, John started Derringer Productions, a company specializing in support for independent film production. Derringer Productions has a large complement of lighting, sound, and grip equipment, including a commercial dolly, two jibs, a 16mm Arriflex camera, high-definition video camera, MiniDV camera, as well as full post production facilities including sound editing, foley, ADR, and mixing.
John has shot on formats ranging from Film, to Hi-DEF, DigiBeta, Beta SP, MiniDV, Super 8, Super-VHS, and VHS. The listing that follows contains some projects for which John has provided either Director of Photography or Lighting services within the last few years:
