Matthew J. Siegel, Director of Photography Matthew J. Siegel, Director of Photography Matt Siegel began his career shooting fashion and industrial photography for the clothing company Esprit de Corp. His client list expanded to include still assignments with Buzz and Details magazines in Italy, the Czech Republic, and Poland. In time, this work led back to American clients Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Wells Fargo Bank. His initial film work garnered the prestigious Kodak Cinematography Award, which included study at the Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest, Hungary. Since his cinematography studies, Matt has been lighting and shooting commercials, feature films, music videos, and documentaries for diverse groups ranging from Audi AG to Warner Bros. to ABC/Wide World of Sports. In commercials, the controversial Sprite “Extreme” spot earned him a CLIO award, while his highly stylized work for NCAA/NIKE Woman’s Basketball has been recognized with JOEY and TELE awards. For television and documentary, Matt has teamed with the Discovery Channel as director of photography on Bridges, Skyscrapers, and Tunnels and the Nickelodeon Network for Hervic In Cloudland. Following up the Olympic games, he photographed the ABC prime-time special on women’s sports entitled Game For Anything. He filmed the short-lived WB series Phantom Investigators and served as camera operator and 2nd unit DP on the WB series Everwood. the CBS drama Joan of Arcadia, and the Jerry Bruckheimer show Just Legal. Theatrical features include Crime Partners, Simon, Between Us, Some Prefer Cake, and the upcoming Mexican Werewolf in Texas, Raising Genius, and Miss Wannamaker County. He has also had success in the short film genre with Ripple and TallGIRL, which screened at Cannes and Sundance respectively. Cinematography has brought him from South America to Europe and out to New Zealand, capturing a wide range of images: From the deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon to Alpha- Romeo automobiles in the Italian Lake region and recently aboard the elegant yachts of the America’s Cup races. As the United States representative to Kodak’s European DOP Seminar, Matt became involved with product development for the Eastman Kodak Company. His role with the company has evolved as he now conducts workshops worldwide featuring Kodak’s new VISION2 films. He has also spent eight years as an instructor for Aaton and Panavision cameras and as a consultant and teacher for Mole-Richardson and Kino Flo lighting systems. With an interest in diversifying, Matt has been active in R&D with SONY Entertainment’s Lab24p and their SONY/Panavision HD/24p and Genesis camera systems. He has facilitated and taught International Cinematographer’s Guild workshops and serves on the faculty for Panasonic’s Nationwide Varicam/P2 HD Workshops and at The International Film Workshops in Rockport, Maine.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

  • Transcript of the Spoken Word, Rather Than Written Prose
    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Thomas B. Wilner Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2010 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Thomas B. Wilner conducted by Ronald J. Grele on February 4 and 20, and March 24, 2009. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Thomas B. Wilner Date: February 4, 2009 Interviewer: Ronald J. Grele Washington, D.C. Q: This is an interview with Thomas Wilner, taking place in Washington, D.C. on February 4. If you would just say who you are. Wilner: My name is Tom Wilner. I am a lawyer at Shearman & Sterling in Washington, D.C. How does it sound? Q: Terrific. It's coming through. I just have to turn this down a little. You sent me an e-mail saying that you would like to start with an overview, which I take to mean a few, general propositions about what your experience has been. Wilner: Looking back on the last seven years, there are a number of general themes that I think are interesting about Guantánamo, the first of which really has not been really looked at. [INTERRUPTION] Wilner: That was Gary Isaac. He‟s the guy I am trying to help get the job. Wilner -- 1 -- 2 Anyway, there are really some fascinating themes. One that has not been covered as much as I would want is the intricacies of the legal arguments that went on.

  • Conceptual Change in the Emergence of Tort Law
    Becoming Responsible: Conceptual Change in the Emergence of Tort Law A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Caleb Goltz IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Joan Tronto, Adviser December 2015 © Caleb Goltz 2015 Acknowledgements During the course of this project, many people have helped in many ways. The initial framing of the project began under the direction of Nancy Luxon, and her early input shaped the structure of this project. Joan Tronto served as a patient adviser, providing graceful guidance all along the way. Elizabeth Beaumont stuck with this project from conception to completion, and provided an invaluable legal perspective on the project. JB Shank generously kept an eye on my historical accounts, and shared his love for the Fenlands. Graduate colleagues at the University of Minnesota also shaped this project and provided support along the way. Members of the Whirling Dervishes Dissertation Writing Group – Josh Anderson, Jen Gagnon, Andrew Wiley, Sema Binay, and Dara McCracken – read and commented on early drafts of several chapters. Adam Dahl, Garnet Kindervater, and Chase Hobbs-Morgan listened to me pitching early versions of these ideas with patience and enthusiasm. The fieldwork for this project was funded by a 2011 Hella Mears Graduate Fellowship from the Center for German and European Studies at the University of Minnesota. Writing during the 2012-2013 academic year was funded by a Marbury- Efimenco Fellowship from the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota. I am very grateful for those research funds. My colleagues in the Political Science Department at Hartwick College have been tremendous as I have slowly finished the writing process.
