I hate when DPs don't hold shots. I can't help but think that person is getting a free ride - taking home nice checks while they make it more difficult for the editor.

I have worked with him on more than a few shows that he shot. One can get spoiled with DPs like him. In fact, he is the DP on BLOOD DIAMONDS, and gave us a lot of great material.

AND hold shots long enough to make them useful to the editor. There's nothing that drives me crazier than footage from a shooter that never lets the camera settle on a shot. Kevin O'Brien, the DP on Blood Diamonds, did an amazing job. He's one of the best DPs I've ever worked with. More specifically than shoot a lot of b-roll, shoot a lot of GOOD and INTERESTING b-roll.
