◗ Mind Games the footage I’ve seen of the liberation of the camps is black-and-white and the Stevens footage is shocking when first seen because in contrast to the black-and-white, it is, for lack of a better word, hyper-real,” says Richardson. “That footage served as the template for Teddy’s World War II experiences, and from that the concept of Kodachrome grew. Rob Legato methodically analyzed the inherent characteristics of Kodachrome, using a vast library from the 1950s, and created a look-up table that enabled us to achieve something similar in the digital intermediate. The extraordinary vibrancy of color became the key to Teddy’s dream states.” The rest of the picture is rendered in a palette that approximates a light application of ENR; this look was also achieved with a LUT. “ENR provides an apparent desaturation of skin tones and heightened grain, which enhanced the contrast with the fine-grained, vibrant properties of the Kodachrome look,” says Richardson. In prep, the filmmakers tested various methods of further enhancing the hyper-real look of Teddy’s visions; 65mm, anamorphic 35mm and highdefinition video were all considered as mates for the project’s main format, Super 35mm. “The goal was to capture as much detail as possible for the DI suite,” says Richardson. “There weren’t as many differences among the filmouts as you might expect — the DI was the great equalizer — but 65mm had a definitive edge. We could wrestle with it in the digital world without the normal side effects encountered with a smaller negative. After he saw the tests, Marty agreed to shoot Teddy’s dream states on 65mm.” Unfortunately, after filming one day with a Panavision PFX System 65 Above: Daniels hallucinates an unnerving encounter with the disfigured handyman (Elias Koteas) who set a fire that killed his wife. Right: Scorsese, Koteas and DiCaprio work through the scene amid Richardon’s mix of stage and source lighting. March 2010 American Cinematographer
