Shivaramaiah Ramachandra Aithal (Kannada: ಶಿವರಾಮಯ್ಯ ರಾಮಚಂದ್ರ ಐತಾಳ, 16 Nov 1948 - 10 Jan 2011) [2] popularly known as S. Ramachandra (Kannada: ಎಸ್. ರಾಮಚಂದ್ರ), was a National Award Winning Indian Cinematographer. In 2006, he was honoured with Lifetime Contribution to Kannada Cinema Award of the Karnataka State Film Awards. He was recognised as a gifted Cinematographer and as a force behind the offbeat films in Kannada[3]
Career
After securing fifth rank in the Pre-University Course, Ramachandra went to the National Film and Television Institute in Pune to learn Cinematography. Upon returning he worked as the Assistant Cameraman for U.M.N. Sharif, who shot Vamsha Vriksha directed by Girish Karnad and B.V. Karanth. It was during the shooting of Vamsha Vriksha that P.V. Nanjaraja Urs, who identified Ramachandra's talent, asked him to work for his feature film “Sankalpa” which was Ramachandra's first venture as an Independent Cinematographer.[2] He later worked with B.V. Karanth for the Award Winning film Chomana Dudi.[1] He also worked in commercial films with directors like Nagabharana and K.V.Jayaram.[1]
S. Ramachandra's work in films directed by Girish Kasaravalli brought him accolades. His association with Girish Kasaravalli began with the National Award winning film Ghatashradhdha. Later he worked in Akramana, Mane, Kraurya, Naayi Neralu, Hasina and Gulabi Talkies.[1]
"Ramachandra was the founding stone of the new wave of cinema. He worked enthusiastically with new directors."
"He remained dedicated to the cause of the New Wave in Kannada cinema and was instrumental in positioning Karnataka on the world map of meaningful cinema. He facilitated many young film-makers and first-time producers to meet each other on a common platform, willingly sharing his technical expertise and accumulated experience with them. Among the 70-odd films that he authored with his camera, he must have been responsible for no less than 40 debutant directors."
