American Cinematographer - November 2015 - 46
◗
Sinister Sect
The crew preps
a car scene as
Naomie Harris
receives a
touch-up.
Van Hoytema: I'm very much for
doing things in-camera. I want the
images to guide post more than the
other way around; that's why I like to use
Translights. I love to create environments on the soundstage that are as realistic as possible for the actors. It's such a
wonderful feeling to have actors walk on
to a set and start settling in as if they're
really in a location, without having to
46
use their imagination.
That's also the reason I love
working with low light levels, and why I
love to keep my lights outside the set.
Even on a soundstage, I like to have my
sources come through the windows. I try
to have as few lights on set as possible,
because they break the magic - they
pop the balloon.
The night exterior along the
Thames required an epic lighting installation that only a James Bond film could
get away with.
Van Hoytema: It's the biggest
lighting setup I've ever done, and it might
be one for The Guinness Book of World
Records! It took five weeks to set up. My
gaffer, David Smith, and his crew set up
eight construction cranes and two floating pontoons on the Thames, plus
dozens of other fixtures on the shore. We
had 28 generators.
[Editor's note: The full lighting rig
for the Thames shoot included 30 20Ks,
primarily on rooftops; eight Full Wendys
on cranes and barges; 24 Quarter
Wendys, mainly on rooftops; 25 T12s,
rigged on rooftops and on stands along
the water; 16 10Ks, 12 5Ks and 50
Blondes, mostly on stands along the river;
and 150 1,250-watt Atlas fittings, which
took a crew three weeks - working at
night - to rig beneath the bridges.]
Why did you do the DI in 4K?
Van Hoytema: 2K is not enough
