comparable HMI, and you can run

lithium-ion battery packs."
Mitty's first stop in the
Greenland capital of Nuuk is the town's
only bar, where a drunk pilot offers him
the first clues - and a helicopter flight
- to O'Connell's last known whereabouts. The bar was one of the few
conventionally lit locations, meaning
Dryburgh's crew was able to run generators powerful enough for two 18K
HMIs. Light Grid diffusion was used
to match the lamps with the soft,
natural daylight coming through the
windows. "We had to shoot at a pretty
small aperture, around T5.6-T8,
because we needed to see the helicopter

parked outside," says the cinematographer.
The main unit shot the helicopter takeoff, and the sequence where
the helicopter transports Mitty to the
trawler was handled by the aerial unit,
led by Alan Purwin, who also piloted
the picture ship in costume and
makeup. "Mitch Lillian rigged an Arri
235 onto the vintage Bell 47 to capture
the dramatic moments as the helicopter
takes off with Walter hanging on for
dear life," says Dryburgh. "The camera
helicopter was manned by [aerial cinematographer] Dave Nowell [ASC] and
pilot Fred North, using an Eclipse
stabilized rig carrying an Arri 435 and
[Angenieux] Optimo zoom."
Dryburgh says it was all hands on
deck for Mitty's dive into the stormy,
shark-infested sea, his rescue, and the
subsequent scenes below deck on the
ship. "The stunt jump from the helicopter was shot by the aerial unit and
Erik Wilson's second unit, which was
shooting from an RIB power boat," he
says. "When it came time to shoot with
Ben in the actual stormy ocean, we had
multiple cameras running: in the water
with [underwater cinematographer]
Pete Romano; in the rubber rescue boat
with Erik Wilson and [1st AC] Glenn
Kaplan; on a fishing boat with myself
and Icelandic cameraman Óttar
Guðnason, a.k.a. 'Team Iceland'; and
on the trawler with [operator] John
'Buzz' Moyer and 'Team USA.' I
decided on the Team Iceland and Team
USA designations instead of the usual
A and B cameras."
