documentaries together. “Dean was a
master of cinéma vérité — I had never
seen anybody like him, and I still
haven’t,” says Noyce. “He handheld
that camera like he was a human
tripod. He knew how to make himself
invisible, yet he was so attuned to the
human psyche. He just had this instinct

for humanity. You see it throughout his
work.”
Semler began shooting short
films that played before a theater’s
main attraction. One was A Steam
Train Passes (1974), which took a journey back in time on a restored locomotive that had been built in 1943.

Semler’s eyes light up at the memory
of “that big, green, thundering
machine.” The film brought Semler
accolades, awards and offers to shoot
commercials, which he turned down
repeatedly before finally agreeing to
the new, more lucrative lifestyle.
When McAlpine asked Semler
to shoot second unit on The Earthling,
a feature starring William Holden,
Semler jumped at the chance. He
worked as a freelance cinematographer
for the next several years. Then, out of
the blue, he got a call from director
George Miller, who was prepping Mad
Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981).
Miller had just seen A Steam Train
Passes and offered Semler the job. “A
very strong bond developed between
Dean and me,” says Miller. “When
Dean came off the viewfinder, you
could tell by his body language
whether he thought the shot had gone
well. If he came off with a little twinkle in his eye, I knew we had the shot.
If he came off a little hesitant, I’d say,
‘Let’s go again.’”
The Road Warrior proved to be a
City Slickers photo by Bruce McBroom.
