American Cinematographer - October 2007 - (Page 47) Before we started shooting Jesse James, I knew I probably wouldn’t be available to do the DI, so I shot a lot of test references that my timer, Mike Hatzer, could use to balance the film before I got to do it. I have to say, EFilm was fantastic. I was shooting [Revolutionary Road] in Connecticut, and they actually set up a whole system there so I could do the DI on evenings and weekends. At the same time, I was also timing In the Valley of Elah the same way, and last weekend I came back to L.A. to do the final grading of both films at EFilm with the directors. The downside of the DI is that you really need to be present when the work is being done. There are so many variables you can’t just leave it to others. Did you screen dailies on both pictures? Deakins: I didn’t really get to see much in the way of dailies on either film, just the odd shot. I got three or four shots printed every day, one take, and I’d watch them on an Arri LocPro. On No Country, I set up the LocPro in the boardroom of our hotel, and when I got back in the evening I’d just spin through those few shots from the day before. For the first time, the Coens didn’t watch [film] dailies at all; they watched the scenes in HD. I just couldn’t do that; HD dailies put me off because they look so flat. It was the same with Jesse James. Andrew would sometimes catch up on a few scenes with me, but he mainly watched footage on HD tape. We understand Emmanuel Lubezki [ASC, AMC] is shooting the Coens’ next film. Are you taking a break from the collaboration, or was it just a scheduling conflict? Deakins: I was committed to Revolutionary Road, and now I’m heading to Germany to do The Reader. I knew when the boys would be shooting, and I just wanted to work a bit earlier than they were starting. They’re in good hands with Chivo, though. I’m sure they’ll be fine!
