Had to tint cruiser lights with ND filter and J-Lar
Cory Geryak, superstar filmmaker and frequent collaborator with Christopher Nolan, checks the lighting
My buddy Walt, rigging the Skypanel 360
From the roof, one building over. Across the street is the temp agency we turned into a bus station for I Still Believe.
Quasi Booklight
Rigging the process trailer on the H2
Popping open the city's streetlamps to wrap the LED with ND filter
Tricky overhead speedrail rigging with spreaders to make the softbox float above frame
Gay rave in a church. Massive LED panels in the background. This was a lot of truss to haul in and out of the church, up and down extremely narrow stairs.
Video village at the house party mansion
Mounting camera directly onto the porsche
H2 trailer rolling out
This was a Finnish production and a Finnish tradition while filming is for the crew to gather and take shots at the halfway point of filming. The director Teppo with the bottle.
J.R., grip zen master
We spent so much time out here (half a day?) for a brief dialogue exchange.
We really opened the manhole. Flying an M40 on a condor above, scorching the street with Apricot gel for sodium vapor color temp.
House pary mansion
DIT, Sound, and Hair & Makeup in the wings
Equipment staging behind the house. Don't forget the time I helped save your ass, Bernie!
This is what I would like to each for lunch on every show from now on.
Pool Bar
Moon box / Skypanel 360 inside giant speedrail softbox (12x?) on the condor.
This rig gave us so much anxiety, we thought it was going to fall onto the house it was so unbalanced.
Walt with the branchaloris, moon box above the house in the background.
This is how high and far the condor reached over the mansion.
