ShareHOLLWOOOD, Calif. -- The camera work in the American History Channel’s hit “Ice Road Truckers” is so good its cinematographer has been nominated for an Emmy Award, which is like an Oscar for TV shows.
Not only that, but the camera operator named in the nomination is a Yellowknifer, namely Terry Woolf, and he’s the only northerner on the crew.
According to media reports, Woolf’s work is up against the cinematography of shows from HBO, Discovery, Animal Planet and Showtime in the Outstanding Cinematography for Non-Fiction Category.
The Emmys will be handed out September 13 in Los Angeles.
Woolf said that at first he opted not to attend the ceremony but then the Northwest territorial government coughed up the airfare because he was serving as an ambassador so he will indeed be flying down.
"The one thing I will say about the Ice Road show,” Woolf told the CBC, “it's done more to promote Yellowknife and the North than just about anything, any other initiative I've seen.
“People go to Jamaica, and they say they've run into people who say, 'Oh, you're from Yellowknife? Ice Road Truckers!' So it's good to help promote that kind of thing, I guess."
