Winton Hoch

Winton Hoch

Winton Hoch, A.S.C. (born July 31 1905 in Storm Lake, Iowa; death March 20 1979) was originally a lab technician who contributed to the development of Technicolor before becoming a cinematographer in 1936. His understanding of the colour process quickly led to him being hailed as one of Hollywood's premier colour cinematographers.

He won a Technical Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1940 for his contributions to the development of new improved Process Projection Equipment.

This was followed with back-to-back Academy Awards for the expensive religious epic "Joan of Arc" in 1948, and then the elegiac John Ford Western "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" in 1949 (an achievement that went unmatched until John Toll picked up Oscars for "Legends of the Fall" in 1994 and "Braveheart" in 1995).

He received his third Oscar in 1952 for another collaboration with John Ford, this time on the film, "The Quiet Man", which made him the only cinematographer to share an Oscar with a credited second unit cinematographer, Archie Stout, A.S.C.
