were able to get so much of the look incamera.” Meek’s Cutoff was not Blauvelt’s first all-exterior shoot in a harsh environment — his credits include assisting Savides on Gerry (AC April ’02) — but he describes the conditions as “pretty extreme.” In the first week of production, a crewmember was hospitalized for heat exhaustion, and during the third week, actor Rod Rondeaux was hospitalized for hypothermia. “We were hiking all the time, going as far as we could off the trails, and where there weren’t any trails we’d drive for hours into nowhere land,” says Blauvelt. In this terrain, the covered wagons navigate wide fields filled with divots, rocks and uneven ground. Even with a Steadicam, following the action was a challenge. For long shots where the camera tracks with the wagons, Steadicam operator Greg Schmidt rode on a customized golf cart, following a path cleared earlier that morning by

grips and production assistants. Keeping the cameras (an Arricam Lite and an Arri BL-3) and lenses (Cooke S4 primes) protected from the elements was almost a full-time job for 1st AC Stephen MacDougall and 2nd AC Eliza Plumlee. “They would all but hermetically seal our camera truck,” says Blauvelt. “The dust in a lot of those locations was so fine that it got into everything. After the first week of shooting, we had giant, plastic sheets covering the door to the camera cube and then a metal door, and then we’d cover over all the seams with Velcro and tape. But Stephen and Eliza always kept us functional and free of scratches.” Having safely and successfully navigated his first trek as a cinematographer, Blauvelt speaks with equal passion about his fellow travelers: “David Doernberg and [costume designer] Victoria Farrell really took my work to the next level — they were with Kelly early on, taking photos on location and

sampling their surroundings for color. On set, everybody helped out with every single thing, from the producers on down. If we had to lay a hundred feet of dolly track, everybody would get involved. It changes the whole experience when everyone is onboard with the goal of making something great.” — Iain Stasukevich ●
