treatment of night exteriors. "They are
rich and moody," he says. "I tend to light
a little on the darker side, as I'm not
afraid to have contrast in a movie with
comedic aspects."
Further illustrating this philosophy, O'Loughlin describes a sequence in
which Bryce and Kincaid are on the run
in the English countryside - and while
driving down a heavily wooded road,
they're ambushed by snipers. The
64
sequence was shot night-for-night on
location near England's Pinewood
Studios.
Two 16-unit banks of Vari-Lite
3500s on 120-ton cranes placed in an
adjacent paddock provided blue moonlight through the trees lining both sides
of the road. The color temperature of
the Vari-Lites was programmed to
7,000K. Fill light was provided by tungsten fixtures positioned on the road
close to camera, re-creating car headlights. Real headlights were also used,
depending on the shot. Backlight, softened by the use of smoke, was created
with M90s set at a low height and positioned on either end of the road to
silhouette the hero vehicles.
In the process of defeating the
snipers, Bryce and Kincaid lose their
vehicles and have to traipse through the
nighttime countryside. Setting off
across a large cow pasture, the ensuing
walk-and-talk occurs over a 400' length,
mainly captured via Steadicammounted Alexa Mini on a quad-bike.
"Given the nature of the dialogue,
I wanted to light this sequence with a
sense of naturalism, albeit slightly
enhanced," O'Loughlin explains. "As I'd
introduced strong moonlight in the
previous sequence on the road, I felt I
could extend that approach, combining
it with a low-level ambience to avoid it
looking overly 'lit.'" The Vari-Lite setup
created 3⁄4 backlight, while fill was
