CONTENTS / 05 YOUR OPINION Dear Ron, I was thinking about what Stanley Hawes MBE, Producer in Chief of The DOI, later Film Australia, said when he was guest of honor presenting Awards at an ACS Dinner about 30 years ago,” You cinematographers are the ‘keepers of the fl ame’. It is your job to protect it and keep it burning brightly for all to see”. To my young ears it was very ‘fl owery’ language. As I get older, Stanley Hawes’ words mean a lot more to me. I realize that the light from the cinematographic fl ame is under attack and may soon be extinguished, if we don’t do something to protect it. But do we care? Do we know what that fl ame is? FROM THE EDITOR You may be aware of my passion for cinematographers to control the DI and/or the telecine transfer of their Recently, Patricia and I had friends to stay with us in Hobart, images. This control starts with the rushes and continues and as they were leaving through the front courtyard, I right through to the fi nal deliverables. Historically, the picked a few berry tomatoes off a very productive vine we have growing in a large pot, and offered them to my cinematographer supervised the colour timing or grading guests. During tomato season, it’s my favourite party trick of the fi lm prints and/or the transfer to video.

Most tomatoes served around the world these days are simply red, pulpy, tasteless facsimiles.

En el ámbito estrictamente universitario, di mis primeros pasos hacia el trabajo de investigación que hoy les presento en la Universidad Pompeu Fabra, donde cursé, entre las calles Balmes y Ramon Trias Fargas, la licenciatura en Humanidades. El hado o mi más discreta voluntad quisieron que iniciara los cursos de doctorado en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, donde hoy concluyo felizmente un camino repleto de encuentros. Entre la gente que he encontrado están aquellos que apenas cruzaron un amable saludo conmigo y aquellos otros que hicieron un alto en su camino y conversaron, apaciblemente, con el modesto autor de estas líneas. A todos ellos les agradezco cuanto me ofrecieron y confío en haber podido ofrecerles yo, a mi vez, algo más que hueros e intrascendentes vocablos o, como escribiera el gran bardo inglés, palabras, palabras, palabras,... Entre aquellos que me ayudaron a hacer camino se encuentra en lugar destacado el profesor Javier Antón Pelayo que siempre me atendió y escuchó serenamente mis propuestas, por muy extrañas que resultaran.
