and 1.90:1 for Imax.) “We considered
shooting anamorphic, but I wanted to
use faster lenses,” he explains. “We used
the Master Primes for most of our work,
but the Fujinon [Premier] zooms were
very impressive, and we used them for
crane work and helicopter work, just to
make sure we had a good variety of focal
lengths. When I did side-by-side lens
tests in prep, I found the Fujinons are
actually sharper than the Master
Primes, which was hard to believe! We
had all four of them: 14.5-45mm [T2],
18-85mm [T2], 24-180mm [T2.6] and
75-400 [T2.8]. A couple of shots called
for a telescope point-of-view, and we
put a doubler on the 75-400mm, giving
me an 800mm. I couldn’t believe how
sharp it was.”

Baton Rouge, La. One of the main sets

colored by constantly moving clouds,
the sun’s movement and atmospheric
conditions. Miranda recalls that he and
