Every Frame a Rembrandt: Art and Practice of Cinematography

This book examines the art and craft of motion picture photography through a veteran professional cinematographer's personal experiences on five major motion pictures, each selected to illustrate a particular series of challenges for the photographer. "Every Frame a Rembrandt" is an expression heard on sound stages and locations the world over. While in most cases the expression is used lightly and not infrequently with a certain amount of sarcasm, its true meaning speaks highly of most cinematographers' commitment to producing the best, most interesting, unusual and memorable images for the screen. Through the five films he selected for this book Laszlo is able to show the broad range of complexity in motion picture photography, from the relatively simple "point and shoot" in the typcal western to complex in-camera effects. In recounting his "war stories" Laszlo is able to show the day to day activities of a cinematographer before, during and after filming the project, discussing equipment, film stocks, testing, labs, unions, agents, budget requirements, and working with the director and producer. The five films discussed are Southern Comfort, The Warriors, Rambo: First Blood, Streets of Fire, and Innerspace. The book is illustrated throughout with production stills from Laszlo's extensive collection (12 in a color insert). The "war stories" of a seasoned Hollywood professional cinematographer Explains how specific problems and challenges were overcome for each film Illustrated with production stills from the author's personal collection

With his latest entry, It's A Wrap!, Laszlo takes readers behind the scenes on a variety of projects he himself was involved in, to illustrate how unforeseen events can impact even the most carefully planned production. It's A Wrap! is published by the American Society Of Cinematographers Press, in Hollywood. 
From a secret trip to Havana with Ed Sullivan during the Cuban Revolution, to near disasters involving The Beatles and Richard Chamberlain, It's A Wrap! gives an insider's view of the filmmaking process and sheds light on the inherent dangers of the industry. Through straight-forward commentary and insightful deconstruction of these events, Laszlo invites his readers into the world of filmmaking as it has never been discussed before to reveal the lives of cast and crew on location, the long and arduous days, the pressures, the constant demands of unforeseen problems, the personalities, the egos, the politics and more.

When Thomas Duane Prinez, a.k.a. The Prince, is released from prison after three years of incarceration, his head is filled with new ideas of promoting a new kind of “all consequence fights.” He is convinced that fans go to see fights, automobile races, and bullfights because they want to see blood. The Prince loses control to his investors, and an early attempt of presenting all consequence fights ends in disaster. With his Hollywood starlet live-in, Louise, at his side, he stumbles on a new scheme that turns out to be successful beyond his wildest imagination. But from here on, his road is a downhill struggle.
