Utopian Dreams

Right: The
interior of Laure’s
house was lit
primarily with
practical lamps
fitted with 60watt bulbs.
Strategically
positioned 650watt units and
1K Redheads
provided
additional
illumination as
needed. Below:

goes up in
flames.

and two grips, although we occasionally
brought some reinforcements and a
generator, as in this graffiti scene.
How did you film the long
house-party scene with the bonfires in
the garden?
Gautier: Although there is still a
lot of green, this sequence feels more
orange than the rest of the film. It has to
do with what comes before it. Because I
rarely used orange in the rest of the film,
it’s that much stronger in that scene. Of
course, we had the bonfires onscreen,
but we also used some real flames off
camera with gas pipes. On a large scale,
flicker machines feel fake to me. For
some shots, I lit through the flames of
the gas pipes, which gives the light a
chaotic fluctuation. I used 5K or 10K
tungsten Fresnels, which we diffused
through Grid Cloth onto a silver
reflecting frame so that you don’t feel
the source. Other times, we hung the
silver reflector loosely on the frame and
shook it slightly to [create a flicker
effect]. The camera wanders freely
between the outside garden and inside
rooms. The lighting inside is very low,
mostly household bulbs. There’s very
little fill; it’s a lot of well placed practical
lamps with 60-watt bulbs, and we
sometimes removed the lampshades. I
also had some small tungsten fixtures
