American Cinematographer - July 2015 - 49

- I know what 64 footcandles looks
like. Every once in a while we would
print something and I'd ask Mark van
Horne to let me know what my lights
were. There was one point when we got
a report back that our shots were two
stops underexposed. I said, 'What?
How is that possible?' I had Mark print
those scenes for me and tell me my
numbers, which were like 39-38-29.
Then I knew we were totally fine. It
turns out that it was a scene with a guy
silhouetted in front of a window, and
they didn't realize it was supposed to be
a silhouette. That was a little stressful
for a bit!"
Jurassic World was composed and
will be released in a non-traditional
aspect ratio of 2.0:1. "I wanted to
shoot this movie 'Scope," attests
Schwartzman. "Most of my career I've
shot 'Scope, and I love that format. But
[Jurassic World executive producer]
Steven Spielberg was very against the
[2.40:1] aspect ratio - he felt we
needed more image height for the
dinosaurs. It was Colin who came up
with the idea of a compromise at 2.0:1."
This format wasn't entirely
foreign to Schwartzman, who had been
an apprentice for Vittorio Storaro,
ASC, AIC on director Francis Ford
Coppola's Tucker: The Man and His
Dream and was familiar with the cinematographer's proposed Univisium
universal format. Where Univisium
proposes a 3-perf standard, though, the
Jurassic crew shot 4-perf and the full
Super 35mm width while framing for
2:1. "It's really amazing how nicely 2:1
fits on a tablet or a phone or a computer
screen," Schwartzman observes. "It's a
nicer way to frame than 1.85:1 - you
compose more like you do in 'Scope, but
you're working with flat lenses - and
the [1.9:1] Imax format is close to 2:1.
Back in the days of photochemical
printing, we'd never be able to do a 2:1
release, but the beauty of DCP is that
none of those old rules apply anymore."
In continuing the Jurassic Park
franchise, Schwartzman explains, "the
only real mandate that Colin and I had
was to make it feel as real as possible.
