Edwin B. DuPar

Edwin B. DuPar was an American cinematographer, special effects technician, and film director who worked on hundreds of projects during his lengthy career in Hollywood, beginning in the early 1920s.

Edwin was born in Plum, Creek, Nebraska, to Francis DuPar and Luella Scarff. The family soon relocated to Salida, Colorado, where Francis DuPar was elected mayor, before settling permanently in Monrovia, California. As a young man, Edwin forged a career in vaudeville in Chicago.

At the dawn of the sound era, he was the chief Vitaphone cameraman in Hollywood, and he was the person who is credited with devising the means for synchronizing action and sound. He relocated from Hollywood to Brooklyn in the late 1920s, returning to Burbank in 1935. At Warner Brothers, he helped pioneer Warnercolor. He was an early member of the American Society of Cinematographers.
