He is also known for his slow-motion cinematography work for films,[citation needed] including Hot Fuzz (2007), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), Snow White and the Huntsman and Dredd (2012).[6] Free has brought up the fact that despite his apparently impressive filmography he has worked on "like 290 [... things he doesn't] ever mention".
