Testimonials:
Tim Boxell,
Director: “My
film projects have always been enhanced by Rick's
skills. Great eye for color and composition; deep
knowledge of lenses and camera movement. Courage and
taste. Wit and a high standard of excellence. And he
never ever moves around behind the camera when we're
shooting Christian Bale...”
Jocelyn
Rosenberg, Producer:
“Rick
and I have worked together on a multitude of
projects and he never fails to deliver spectacular
results. He is meticulous and brings artistry to the
simplest shot. He's also one of the most creative
DPs I have ever worked with, bringing style and a
depth of knowledge that few can offer. It's always a
joy to work with Rick.”
Gary Coates,
telecine colorist:
“I've known Rick for twenty years as an Ansel Adams
kind of guy, one that knew he owed you not just a
good negative but the printed proof out of the
darkroom. He was meticulous in testing available
35mm filmstocks before selecting the one to deliver
the dual look of elegance and edge on a feature
narrative he shot and I transferred in telecine. In
a decade of high end advertising spots we worked on
together,Rick always attended the telecine color
grading sessions to direct the look through to the
finish, the client's steady advocate who knew what
the gear could do and made sure I produced. I'm in
my post-telecine career now and the darkroom is an
AVID, a Final Cut Pro or a digital intermediate
grading system. And the negative is now digital, too,
out of a RED or HD camera, and the dynamic range is
more narrow. That's all the more reason if you want
something recovered from a bright highlight or an
opaque shadow you need the guy who gets into all
those zones. You're looking for Rick Wise.”
Brad Burchill, creative director, The Ranch: "Rick's vision brings a spot to life...taking what could be
the ordinary
and finding that certain something that makes it interesting, unique and fresh."
Tom
Donald, commercial director:
"More San Francisco directors owe Rick Wise their reels
than any
other DP I can think of. I should know. I'm one of
those directors."
Gary Coates, telecine colorist:
"This is the best blue screen I've seen in six
months!"
