Film maker captures award

NORTH VANCOUVER | cinematographer, Robert
McLachlan has just been awarded best
cinematography in the Industrial category of the Ca-
nadian Society of Cinematographers Awards.

This is the first time the award has been given to a
cameraman west of Toronto by the predominatly On-
tario-controlled group.

The award-winning production, a nine-minute
marketing film, Canada's Wild Pacific Salmon was
chosen from a field consisting mainly of large budget
Eastern films.

The film, which McLachlan also co-directed for
Omni Film Productions in Vancouver, shows how
seine and troll salmon fishing is carried out on B.C.'s
spectacular west coast.

The film also details the quality control in shipping
and handling, including a compelling sequence shot in
the new Ocean fish plant in Steveston.

Canada’s Wild Pacific Salmon is being used by Ex-
ternal Affairs to market pacific salmon around the
world.

McLachlan, 30, has lived in North Vancouver
almost all of his life. He also acted as director of
photography on the only locally produced feature film
made in B.C. last year.

All other productions came from the U.S. or On-
tario to shoot here with an imported cameramen.

Abducted, starring Dan Haggerty as a mountain
man coping with a mad son, was shot almost entirely
on Seymour and Hollyburn Mountains, and in
Capilano Canyon.

It is due for a summer release and has already
received praise for its photography of the beautiful
locations, which pass for the wilds of interior B.C.

MeLachlan has also filmed TV commercials and is
slated to shoot another feature in Alberta this Sum-
mer which is expected to star Glenn Ford.
