dailies through deliverables. “It tracks very efficiently because all the timing is done with the same device, an Autodesk Lustre,” he says. “The look is very, very accurate. Our dailies were projected in a trailer on set while we were working in the States, and they were the closest I’ve ever come to projected film dailies in the digital world.” Argo was also his first all-4K finish. “Ben lobbied for a 4K scan because he felt it enhanced the experience. Strangely enough, it was more apparent in the 2-perf material, where the grain was a little more present, and in the wide shots in the Hagia Sophia, because ArriRaw gives you 3K resolution, so if you finish in 2K you’re not using [all the information]. “Normally I approach DIs very simply, and my work on Argo was mostly about trying to create a coherent whole out of all these looks, going scene-byscene and balancing things out,” continues Prieto. “Ben and I spent about two
weeks timing the picture with Yvan Lucas. Ben is really into the DI process. I found that he enjoys the technical aspects of directing as much as working on the script and with the actors. “This was the first time I worked with a director who was also acting in the movie, and Ben’s stamina was pretty amazing,” he adds. “He’d arrive on set incredibly early and go through costume and makeup so he could come to the set and talk about what we were going to do before the other actors even started their process. Then the actors would come in and rehearse, and he’d stay on set while we were setting up shots. He didn’t rehearse and then disappear. He used every second available to make the best film possible, and I think it shows on the screen.” ●
