Style and technique

Dod Mantle helped pioneer the use of digital cinematography with his early use of home-quality DV in The Celebration, and eventually won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his work on Slumdog Millionaire, the first time that award went to a film shot digitally.[6]

Dod Mantle has also experimented with extreme slow motion with high speed cameras in films like Antichrist and Dredd.[7]
