Space Cases
Davis adds that the HiLo
Softsource is "dimmable without any
flicker. I liked [the fixture] so much that
I put several of them together and put
them through a large frame for a big soft
source for key lights for other setups."
The Guardians also fly the
Milano to Knowhere, one of the more
unusual settings found in any sciencefiction movie. Knowhere isn't a planet in
the proverbial sense, but rather the skull
of a long-dead god floating in space.
The surface has sprouted a kind of frontier community of prospectors who
mine the skull's yellow cerebral fluid.
Because it is in the shadow of a black
hole, Knowhere exists in endless night.
A street on Longcross Studios'
back lot was dressed as the frontier
outpost and dolloped with pools of
yellow fluid. Davis initially planned to
light the street with soft boxes hung
from cranes, but the British summer
brought high winds, so instead the cinematographer opted for two 70' sections
of truss, each suspended 35' high by
cranes, one at each end of the street. On
each truss, 30 weatherproof housings
were mounted perpendicular to the truss
at 4' intervals; each housing was fitted
with two daylight fluorescent tubes
gelled with 728 Steel Green.
At street level, Davis says, "there
were a lot of open storefronts, so I used
a lot of practical lights. I wanted the
street to light itself from practical
fixtures - a lot of tubes on the walls and
small tungsten fixtures." The street ran
The crew films on
the greenscreen set
where the
Guardians come
face-to-face with
Ronan the Accuser
and his loyal
lieutenant, the
assassin Nebula
(Karen Gillan).
