Lascaris and Pesses took advantage of the C300’s native 800 ISO by devising a lighting setup that could quickly be adjusted for the kids’ blocking: a Condor crane with two Nine-light Maxi-Brutes and a 10K Fresnel. “The Maxis took care of the deep background, and the 10K served as a key,” says the cinematographer. “The lights were gelled with a sandwich of Rosco 1⁄4 CTB, 1⁄4 Cyan and 250 diffusion.

After she works the plane’s creaky levers, the gauges and meters roar to life, and she is instantly transported into The Unknown. She then finds herself lying in a field. The sun shines brightly in a black sky, and before her, jutting out of a sea of white grass, is a tall tree with strong branches covered in pure white leaves. “That’s when you realize it’s an infrared image,” says Lascaris. The scene is a faithful reproduction of Kelly Shipp’s still, “Where One Day Ends, One Day Begins,” which was chosen to represent The Unknown. As it happened, reproducing an infrared still with a digital-cinema camera carried its own share of mysteries.
