Biography

Member of the International Combat Cameramens Association. Hal Geer is the artist of the bunch. From bomber planes, he filmed attacks in the Pacific and the A-bomb test after World War II on Bikini Atoll. His best pictures though were snapped on the ground during the Japanese invasion of China. They are images of human misery that are somehow beautiful to look at, instinctively arranged to please the eye. Like the one of Chinese refugees dragging carts through the mud, faces gripped with fear, ribbons of farmland in the background, a slice of sky at the top of the frame. "I was telling the story of human hell," he said. "We were there to tell stories, to make sure people didn't forget what happened.".

Following the retirement of Hendricks two years later, Geer took over his position and became the de facto head of the Looney Tunes series.

Geer retired from both Warner Bros. and the film industry in 1987, and subsequently took on a career of lecturing aboard cruise ships.

Hal Geer was an American producer, filmmaker and animator, noteworthy for his association with the Looney Tunes franchise.

As a Sergeant he participated in several major projects, including the film documentary "China Crisis".
