Christian Sebaldt ASC is a German cinematographer based in the United States. He won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour) for his work on the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000–15).[1][2][3] His feature film credits have included Resident Evil: Apocalypse, FearDotCom, The Dark, Reagan and Final Destination Bloodlines.[4] He frequently collaborates with director Sean McNamara.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Sebaldt was born and raised in Munich, Germany. Sebaldt's first serious exposure to the film industry was as a trainee at Bavaria Film, a studio in Munich. He spent time in multiple departments, including the visual effects unit, gaining experience that later served him well on effects-heavy projects.[5][6]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Sebaldt's first professional credit was on the Rainer Werner Fassbinder film Lili Marleen, where he served as an assistant to director of photography Xaver Schwarzenberger. In 1984, Sebaldt relocated to Los Angeles and began work on numerous projects, including music videos and television commercials. He shot 13 episodes of the Nickelodeon series The Secret World of Alex Mack, and over 50 episodes of the series America's Most Wanted. He served as DP for the first two seasons of the crime drama Pacific Blue. Around this time, he became a regular collaborator of director Sean McNamara, shooting films like Galgameth, Casper: A Spirited Beginning, P.U.N.K.S., and Race to Space. In total, he has accumulated over 40 feature film credits.

Since the 2002 direct-to-video science-fiction film Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation, many of Sebaldt's projects have been filmed on digital video rather than film. He applied this style of dark, gritty photography onto films like Resident Evil: Apocalypse and FeardotCom,[7] and on television series like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,[8] for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series[9] and a Kodak Vision Award,[10] as well as a nomination for an ASC Award.

Sebaldt has also shot and directed commercials for companies like Toyota, Samsonite and Energizer.[11]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Sebaldt is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and the Visual Effects Society, among others.[12] He has been married since 2001 to script supervisor Mary Anne Seward, with whom he has had one child.

Christian currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
