American Cinematographer - February 2023 - 45
AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER THEASC.COM
were losing light, and I was trying to use a 4'x8' beadboard to get some
light into Jared's eyes. He turned to me and said, 'Is there any way we can
go without that?' I asked why. He said, 'I just don't want to see it.' Then
he motioned toward the ocean and said, 'I'd rather look at all that.' So, I
took it away. I've always remembered that. "
The high sensitivity of the Venice allowed Libatique and gaffer John
Velez to effectively employ household units, Astera tubes and small,
well-placed bounces instead of more traditional lighting tools. " The set
windows didn't really accommodate much daylight, so I relied on interior
practicals and small covered wagons of Astera NYX bulbs diffused
with Magic Cloth, light grid or opal, " he says. " Sometimes we used Astera
tubes in the ceiling, wrapped in Magic Cloth or 250 diffusion, and a
smattering of LiteMat Spectrums. Our biggest interior light was a Hudson
Spider. "
The production also employed an array of Astera Helios and Titan
tubes rigged into the set's ceiling with a teabag of Magic Cloth. Libatique
explains, " This was less to light faces and more to ensure background
separation as actors move into the spaces in between light. From the
floor, we augmented the two hero practicals that bookended Charlie's
couch with 'covered wagons,' small baton-style rigs with a frame to allow
for a change in diffusion. We place these on the floor near the practicals
to create warm edges, and on occasion they served as the key light. This
was the foundation of our light strategy, but we would augment our singles
with Lite Gear Spectrum 4s or a Hudson Mozzie. Exterior lighting
was mainly provided by Arri SkyPanel S60s and 360s, with Fiilex Quads
and Q8s to backlight the 'rain' we created. "

set. Bottom: Unobtrusive floor units were employed to help the set
feel more real for the actors. " It's been a philosophy of mine to give
actors the space to give an amazing performance, which means not
being too precious with light, " the cinematographer says.
