Mini-Biography:
John Arnold was born on November 16, 1889 in New York, New York, USA. He was an American Director of Photography, known for Arena (1953), The Garden of Eden (1928), Dance Madness (1926), John Arnold's first movie on record is from 1914. John Arnold died on January 11, 1964 in Palm Springs, California, USA. His last motion picture on file dates from 1953.
Biographical Notes in German: Kameramann des amerikanischen Stummfilms, Ausbildung und Erfahrungs als Ingenieur. Erste Nennungen zu John Arnold finden sich in frĂĽhen Experimenten zum Tonfilm um 1907 mit dem Cameraphone-Verfahren, fĂĽr welches zwei grosse Edison Phonographen verwendet wurden. "We made [the films] by selecting a good phonograph records, rehearsing the artist ... in unison with the record until his sychronization was passable, then photographing him." erinnerte sich Arnold 1929. Das aufwendige Verfahren fĂĽhrte allerdings nicht zu befriedigenden Ergebnissen.
Um 1913 findet sich John Arnolds Name bei Ramo Films mitunter im Zusammenhang mit technischen Verbesserungen für Trickaufnahmen. "John Arnold, who has been responsible for Ramo's excellent photography, has been experimenting with Mr. Physioc for several months and they both claim that the result of their labors will be in the exhibiting of trick pictures never befor attempted in cinematography (The New York Clipper, July 12, 1913, pg 12). Nach dem Umzug der Ramo Company nach Flushing - wegen verschärften feuerpolizeilichen Vorschriften musste das Studio an der 101st Street in Fort Lee geräumt werden - reduzierte Ramo die ständige Belegschaft auf den Regisseur George Gebhardt und Kameramann John Arnold.
Ende 1914 findet sich eine Notiz ĂĽber seinen Wechsel als "Head Camera Man" zur Photo Life Film Corporation - von beiden Gesellschaften sind aber bislang zur zwei Titel belegt, bei welchen Arnold als Kameramann genannt ist, obwohl anzunehmen ist, dass er bei weiteren Filen von Regisseur Will S. Davis die Kamera fĂĽhrte.
Bei Edison beginnt er seine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Regisseur John H. Collins, wohl in "Children of Eve" 1915, bei dem auch Ned van Buren als Kameramann genannt wird. Hauotdarstellerin und Star des Films ist Viola Dana, die 18-jährige Ehefrau des Regisseurs und aufstrebender Stern bei der Edison. Die drei werden ein festes Team, zu dem auch die Schauspieler Robert Walker und Augustus Phillipps sowie Regieassistent Albert J. Kelley stossen. Es folgen ein halbes Dutzend Filme für Edison, bevor die neu gegründete Metro Film Corporation Viola Dana und ihr Team verpflichten. Angeblich soll Arnold erst nach intensiver Fürsprache von John Collins von den Metro Bossen akzeptiert worden sein, Jahre später wird er für Metro's Nachfolgegesellschaft MGM Chef des Kameradepartments werden.
Bei der Metro bleibt John Arnold - auch nach dem frühen Tod von John H. Collins - Viola Dana bevorzugter Kameramann, Danas Filmographie zählt insgesamt über fünfzig Titel, bei denen Arnold Kamera führte. Zu seinen bekanntesten Filmen - ohne Viola Dana - zählen "The Big Parade" mit John Gilbert und Renée Adorée (Regie: King Vidor, 1925) und "The Wind" mit Lillian Gish und Lars Hanson (Victor Sjöström, Regie 1928)
Ende der Zwanziger Jahre mit Beginn des Tonfilms beendete John Arnold seine Laufbahn als aktiver Kameramann, er stand nun dem Kameradepartment der Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vor. Sein Name wird noch im Zusammenhang mit den Tricktechniken in "The Wizard of Oz" aus dem Jahre 1939 genannt und später in MGM's 3-D Metrovision Tri-Dee Technologie für "Arena" (1953) (lhg 2016)
