becomes the more standard ¾ backlight, making the look more dramatic."
Reflecting upon his experiences
on Exodus, Wolski reveals that the
complex production was shot in a mere
80 days. "Everything was very well
prepared," he says with admiration.
"Ridley always has an amazing team of
people and great actors. We work 10hour days, straight through, and go
home. It's an exception to work at that
pace, but everyone is extremely focused
and the days go by very fast.
"Working with Ridley is a great
collaboration," the cinematographer
continues. "He's super-smart, and he
sees so many details. It's always a great
dialogue and completely equal. He has a
phenomenal array of references in terms
of art, architecture, films; it's always a
real pleasure to get into discussions with
him. He also has his own array of
incredible experiences.
"There is an odd aspect to working with him, though. Because so many

of us have been so influenced by his
movies and have mimicked his work for
our entire careers, you have to stop yourself from ripping him off while you're
working with him! We've all emulated
Blade Runner and Alien, and then you get
to work with the guy who created those
iconic films. He's totally aware of repeating himself, too. Sometimes we'll set
something up and throw some smoke
into the scene, and he'll look at it and say,
'No, I've done this before,' and we'll take
a different approach. He's a super-interesting human being in the way his brain
works; it's really incredible."
On a simple and grateful note, the
cinematographer concludes, "This
project was an amazing challenge and a
great experience. There was never a dull
moment!"
