Colin Chilvers

Colin Chilvers (born 1945) is an English film director and special effects coordinator. He is known for his work on The Rocky Horror Picture Show[1] (1975), Superman (1978), Condorman (1981), and X-Men[2] (2000).

Chilvers directed the "Smooth Criminal" segment from Moonwalker.[3] On working with Michael Jackson, Chilvers told Rolling Stone, "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]
