Gordon Brown was shooting IMAX for MacGillivray Freeman Films Production of "Journey Into Amazing Caves"when Michael Brown shot this picture from a platform, set mid-way down inside a 600' deep ice cave in the Greenland Ice Cap.
A 5-time Emmy Award winner, Gordon Brown is recognized as one of the world's leading commercial cinematographers and adventure filmmakers. With over 20 years of professional experience Gordon's innovative style and provocative technique has captivated audiences of both the large and small screen. By working with a wide range of formats, Gordon has continuously challenged the limits of film and video within the barriers of location and budget. Gordon is as comfortable rappelling into 600' deep ice caves in Greenland for IMAX as he is doing Betacam interviews with a studio crew in Los Angeles or running helmet-mounted kayaking POVs on the Nile in Africa with Digital Video. Gordon has shot High Definition for Disney and 35mm for National Commercials. He cut his teeth shooting 16mm handheld travel shots while skiing with the Mahre brothers in the mid '80s.
Gordon's commercial clients include Coors, Michelob, Janus Fund, Clairol, Vail Ski Area and the State Tourism Boards of both Colorado and West Virginia. Gordon has achieved acclaim as cinematographer and videographer for nationally televised films on National Geographic Explorer, ABC, CBS, NBC, Discovery, ESPN, MTV and OLN. Independent film credits include director of photography on "The Face", in which Gordon worked with ILM to effectively integrate 35mm live action shots with a 3D animated fish. He also directed photography on "Taking The Wheel", a comedic short film starring John Cleese.
Gordon's work has been honored with numerous awards, including 3 National Emmys, 2 Regional Emmys, Best of Festival at Prague, Best Whitewater Film at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, 2 CINE Golden Eagles, 2 Cindys, The Grand Prize of the International Ski Film Festival as well as several additional National Emmy Nominations....
