JANUSZ KAMINSKI (Director of Photography), a two-time Academy Award® winner, took home his first Oscar® for his black-and-white cinematography on Steven Spielberg's “Schindler's List.” For his work on that film, Kaminski was also honored with a BAFTA Award and numerous critics’ awards, including the Los Angeles and New York Film Critics Awards for Best Cinematography. He won his second Academy Award® for his work on Spielberg's World War II drama “Saving Private Ryan.” In addition, Kaminski received his third Best Cinematography Oscar® nomination for Spielberg's “Amistad” and a fourth in 2007 for Julian Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” for which he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
Kaminski more recently collaborated with Spielberg on the '60s-era dramatic comedy “Catch Me If You Can,” the futuristic thriller “Minority Report,” “The Terminal” and the politically charged “Munich.” He also served as the director of photography on the Spielberg-directed films “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence” and “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” Kaminski's other film credits as the director of photography include “The Adventures of Huck Finn,” “How To Make An American Quilt,” Cameron Crowe’s “Jerry Maguire” and Kathryn Bigelow’s “Mission Zero.” A native of Poland, Kaminski came to the United States in 1981. He studied cinematography at Columbia College in Chicago, receiving his B.A. in 1987. After graduating, he relocated to Los Angeles to become a cinematography fellow at the prestigious American Film Institute, and began his professional career on the feature “Fallen Angel.” He also lensed two television projects: the Amblin production “Class of '61” and the acclaimed cable movie “Wildflower,” directed by Diane Keaton. In 2000, Kaminski made his feature film directorial debut with the thriller “Lost Souls,” starring Winona Ryder, Ben Chaplin and John Hurt. He has since also directed the Polish drama “Hania.”
”Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” marks GUY HENDRIX DYAS’s (Production Designer) first film with director Steven Spielberg and first production design assignment for George Lucas, for whom Dyas worked while serving as an art director at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
Dyas began his career in Tokyo working as an industrial designer for Sony, and he moved to Japan after graduating from the Royal College of Art in London with a Masters Degree in Industrial Design.
In 1994, an invitation from ILM to join its creative team introduced Dyas to the film industry in California and he served as a visual effects art director on “Twister.” Dyas then worked as a concept artist on such films as “King Arthur,” Tim Burton's “Planet of the Apes,” “The Matrix Reloaded,” “Vanilla Sky” and “Pearl Harbor,” and he was an assistant art director on “Swordfish” and “The Cell.”
In 2003, Dyas was given the opportunity to execute the production design for Bryan Singer’s “X2: X-Men United” and, since then, Singer and Dyas have collaborated on various projects, most recently “Superman Returns,” for which he was nominated for an Art Directors Guild Award for Achievement in Production Design. Dyas also worked with director Terry Gilliam, designing the sets for “The Brothers Grimm” and, in 2006, he did the production design for the Cate Blanchett-starrer “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” which brought him a BAFTA nomination and a second nomination from the Art Directors Guild. Dyas is currently working with Oscar®-winning Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar, designing his upcoming film ”Agora,” a 4th Century Roman/Egyptian epic starring Rachel Weisz and Max Minghella.
