corners out of trusses so the Grid Cloth
would be at an equal distance from the
fuselage all the way around, thus keeping the light even. Conway adds,
"During prep, Roger and I tested a variety of diffusion materials to ensure that
the light sources behind the cloth would
[become] relatively sourceless and have
no hot spots."
The crew hung 140 6K space
lights in the perms above the Grid
Cloth, but Deakins needed more
control of the light - and more punch
- around the front, back and sides of
the fuselage, so he employed a combination of 2K open-faced Blondes and
650-watt Redheads, alternating the
units as they circled the cyc. The
arrangement "created this beautiful,
giant soft box," says Deakins. The only
fixtures within the area surrounded by
the Grid Cloth were two Arri T12
Fresnels rigged on motor yokes,
controlled via DMX and operated
remotely off crane arms. These units
moved to mimic the changing angle of
the sunlight as it penetrated the cockpit
or the waist gunners' open doorways.
A single camera, the Alexa XT
M, was used inside the plane; it was
mounted on a Micro-Scorpio head
inside the fuselage, or under the steering
column for scenes in the cockpit. The
fiber-optic cable and recording mechanism were kept off the rig. "The plane
was doing all these gyrations, and you
really didn't want to be in there trying to
operate," Deakins says with a chuckle.
He added even more movement as he
operated the camera remotely from a
console with an HD monitor. Deakins'
longtime 1st AC, Andy Harris, stood
next to him, pulling focus off the same
monitor.
Copping adds, "All the interior
plane work on the Scorpio head was
rigged to Grip Factory Munich
Bazooka kits. A camera-rigging post
from Griptech was used for most of the
shots looking into the bombardier's
station, and a Matthews Lazy Susan
also saved us at several points during the
production."
