jgharding Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 My guess was Epic, but I'm always interested to see if it's possible to tell the difference. It's a great film, definitely check it out. Exceptional cinematogrpahy. Anyone recognise the camera here?

andy lee Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ALEXA: Have a read of this .....good interview here[url="http://www.afcinema.com/Cinematographer-Charlotte-Bruus-Christensen-discusses-her-work-on-Thomas-Vinterberg-s-The-Hunt.html?lang=fr"]http://www.afcinema.com/Cinematographer-Charlotte-Bruus-Christensen-discusses-her-work-on-Thomas-Vinterberg-s-The-Hunt.html?lang=fr[/url] What camera equipment did you choose ? CBC : As concerns the camera, given the limited number of spotlights and Thomas’ wish to film in an almost documentary-like style, we first thought we would film on 35mm. But we didn’t have the budget for it. The [url="http://www.afcinema.com/Alexa.html"]Alexa[/url] took the place of a 35mm camera, and I had to adapt my style to that device. As far as lenses are concerned, I wanted to film with Cooke S2 lenses, but the sensitivity of the sensor to the colour [url="http://www.afcinema.com/Camera-Red.html"]red[/url] and the lack of uniformity within that series made me change my mind. After a couple of tests, I chose to film with the new Cooke Panchros, a series of lenses that reproduces a soft “vintage†feeling and that only open at 2.8. As I was saying, Thomas Vinterberg is very close to his characters, and the number one priority for me in terms of lighting was enhancing faces and eyes.(Interview conducted by François Reumont for the AFC and translated from French by Alex Raiffe) NotesCaméra : Arri Alexa Lenses : Cooke Panchro series KarimNassar and jgharding 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgharding Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Brilliant! Thanks so much Andy, that's a great article! After thinking Skyfall looked rather crusty I'm glad to see my favorite cinematographic work of the year was an Alexa piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgharding Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 The low light sections were just incredible too: shots by a single lighter, shots with almost nothing but black, the tiniest bit of subtle detail of an actor in the dark.. plsu the lead performance and the young girl were amazing. Really pure and wonderful cinematography! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Very few of the shots are sharp on this. lovely soft image to a hard edged story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 When i watched it in Hackney Picturehouse it seemed so crisp, but not in a clinical way. I thought it was 4K acquisition because it was so sharp. It really does look absolutely amazing. It's somehow sharp AND soft. I can't really describe it. It's really wonderfully put together. I still couldn't give it perfect marks as a film as a few things bugged me, but all the camerawork and the performances are exemplary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
