American Cinematographer - December 2015 - 39

Richardson discovered a shelf of what
he calls "some very unusual-looking
lenses," which turned out to be original,
long-forgotten Ultra Panavision 70s.
They had not been used in decades. The
cinematographer was instantly enamored.
"That's when the avalanche
started," Sasaki says. At Richardson's
request, Sasaki clamped one of the old,
heavy lenses to his projection bench and
imaged it at 10'. As Sasaki recalls, "Bob's
and Gregor's eyes went wide when they
looked at the nice warmth and the
organic roll-off."
"I made the decision then,"
Richardson says. He makes it clear,
however, that the initial undertaking
was in essence a feasibility study as he
continued to develop a spherical backup
plan. Success in rejuvenating the Ultras
was far from guaranteed.
A protocol was arranged whereby
Sasaki's team would restore enough of
the lenses for Richardson to go to
Colorado and test them. If Richardson
felt comfortable with the results, he
would show the footage to Tarantino.
As it happened, the cinematographer
was more than pleased; he was ecstatic.
And so, with assurances from
Panavision that they could make the
lenses work with modern Panaflex
System 65 Studio and High Speed
(HS) Spinning Mirror Reflex cameras,
and Tavenner's confidence that he could
pull focus with the optics, the filmmakers committed themselves to producing
