Colin Chilvers
Colin Chilvers (born 1945) is an English film director and special effects coordinator. He is known for his work on X-Men[1] (2000), Superman (1978) and The Rocky Horror Picture Show[2] (1975).
Chilvers directed the "Smooth Criminal" segment from Moonwalker.[3] In working with Michael Jackson, Chilvers told Rolling Stone Magazine, "I showed Michael a movie that I felt would fit the theme of the piece, The Third Man. He loved the look of it, that sort of film-noir look, so we used that to get the camera man to light it in a similar way."[4]
Chilvers won a Special Achievement Academy Award in 1979 for Superman. [5]
