angle we wanted. It careened around corners or pulled 360s. It also has a very low profile. For other shots, we used Allan Padelford’s Moto Arm, which extends out of a Cadillac Escalade about 14'-20'to position the camera using a 4:1 zoom mounted on a stabilized head. The arm can be operated completely from within the Escalade. Allan drives the Escalade, and for us he hit speeds of up to 75 mph. His partner operates the Moto Arm. George and I were also in the Escalade, watching the monitors, along with my first AC, Brian Morena. Our vehicle stayed right on the bumper of the Chevelle, with the Moto Arm closely following Dwayne’s driving stunt double, Tanoai Reed. At the right moment, Allan would slam on the brakes while his operator retracted the arm, allowing us to capture many near misses. The stunt drivers were great. They know their speeds, and they were always calm, sometimes even joking around. Only once did I see Allan flinch, and he quietly said, “Oh, that was close.” The rest of the time, it was like, “When’s lunch?” Brian is an incredible focus puller, and I pushed him with longer lenses. We’ve literally made it a game over the years. I’ll go longer, thinking he can’t possibly get it all, but even if he gets half of it in focus, there’ll be some really cool moments on super long lenses. So I always challenge him. For lighting in daylight shots, we used battery-operated Nila LEDs, which my gaffer, Michael Karasick, recommended. It was a good call. The only drawback was that on some big stunts, or if we hit a curve really hard in one of the stunt vehicles, the batteries failed. But batteries and batterypowered lights perform far better than onboard gas generators with HMIs. Faster taught me a great deal about what you can and cannot do with cars. One of the great aspects of working repeatedly with the same people is the knowledge you share. Michael Karasick and my grip, Aubrey Husar, have worked with me for 10 years, but they have also worked with other cinematographers, and they bring all that experience with them. When you work with good people, you do better work, because it’s much more collaborative. ●
