can have our colorist, Pankaj Bajpai [at
Encore Hollywood], stretch the whites
out even more to get a nice snap in the
contrast. This can be especially helpful
in selling the day-exterior feel on some
sets, including the Graysons' backyard
and the Stowaway deck."
Pusheck and Smith, who spoke
to AC separately, enjoy a comfortable
working relationship, having previously
shared cinematography duties on a
season of Brothers & Sisters. Smith also
handled inserts and additional photography for Revenge's first season.
Revenge is shot predominantly on
stages at Manhattan Beach Studios,
where interiors of Grayson Manor,
Emily's beach house and the Stowaway
Tavern have been built. Only the house
of Emily's close friend, Nolan Ross
(Gabriel Mann), is a practical location,
although a facsimile of the interior has
also been built onstage.
In the first season, the twocamera show was shot almost exclusively on Steadicam, a preference of
pilot director Phillip Noyce, who also
directed the series' first episode.
(Christopher Manley, ASC shot the
pilot.) Now Steadicam accounts for
about 40 percent of the camerawork.
Pusheck encourages A-camera/
Steadicam operator Tom Schnaidt and
B-camera operator Jay Herron to
maintain a kind of floating feeling.
"Sometimes it means using a slider to
just add a slight movement, and sometimes Tom and Jay are on the dolly or
handheld," she says. "It should be loose,
but not too distracting or obvious. It's
part of maintaining that feeling of
unease."
The camera package, provided by
Panavision, includes two Arri Alexa
High Speeds, a Sony PMW-F3 (for Ccamera work), Panavision Primo 4:1
and 11:1 zooms, and Angenieux
Optimo 15-40mm, 28-76mm and 45120mm zooms. "The B camera lives on
the 11:1," reports Pusheck, "unless Jay is
going handheld or needs to go smaller
to avoid being seen by the A camera.
For cost reasons, we have slowly gotten
rid of most of our primes over our three
