At his right is 1st AC Michael Gershman, who also worked with Zsigmond on The Deer Hunter (1978), The Rose (1979) and Heaven’s Gate (1980). Gershman later became an operator and then a cinematographer in his own right, shooting such TV series as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2001) and Crossing Jordan (2001-’03).
