Peter deming has been around the production scence for a quite some time now, winning many awards like hte Independent spirit award for Mulholland Dr. and the Cinematography award for House Party. You may also have seen many of his older yet famous movies, such as, Scream 1,2 and 3 and one of my favorite movies, mystery alaska. personally i do not like the scream movies, not because its a bad movie but purely because i get so scared watching it. Peter Deming is know the set the mood. In many reviews and interviews it is said he spends most of his time talking and purely setting up the mood. and he does it well. scream is so dark and slow and heart pounding. like other scarey movies it has a slow eriry and them BAM some one dies, but the build up that he does is great it dark it gets you scared, it does the job. When Mr. Deming did the movie "the jacket", the director John Maybury, Mr. Maybury only had great things to say. "Can you talk about the director of photography?
Peter Deming? What can I say? He’s a prince among men. My last film, “Love is the Devil,” was shot by John Mathieson who’s a DP I grew up with. We worked on stuff from pop videos through to my arty stuff through to “Love is the Devil.” Unfortunately after he did ‘Love is the Devil” he did “Gladiator.” He just got nominated for an Oscar last night for the appalling “Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera.” And thankfully he didn’t win, although bless him he’s a sweetheart. He wasn’t available for this because he was doing “Phantom of the Opera.” I lucked out big time by getting Peter Deming, if only for his work on “Mulholland Dr.” and “Lost Highway.” It’s a gift. Besides his technical skills, as a human being he’s very atypical of a DP. He is a sweetheart. He is a prince among men."
