American Cinematographer - April 2020 - 67

Cronenweth used the DXL2's built-in Light Iron Color Film LUT throughout the shoot. With a laugh, he recalls, "I really
enjoy the way it falls off, and the texture, and when I called Michael Cioni [formerly of Light Iron and Panavision] to tell him
how much I liked the color science, he said, 'Well, you created it - it's based off [the LUT developed for] The Social Network.'
I had no idea. Maybe that's why I was so comfortable with it; it fit my sensibilities."
Light Iron colorist Ian Vertovec, one of Cronenweth's longtime collaborators, recalls that when Cioni was developing the
DXL in his capacity as Panavision's senior vice president of innovation, Cioni "reached out to me and asked me to design a look
that would be unique to Panavision, and I built two LUTs. One was just a good-looking digital look, and that became Light Iron
Color, and the other was a more cinematic, vintage, filmic look, and that became Light Iron Color Film. And I built [the latter]
off my experience working with Jeff."
grammar should perhaps play with
space and time, too."
Back in Hollywood, Light Iron
colorist Ian Vertovec spent three days
grading the pilot, working with
FilmLight's Baselight. The camera
files were recorded in raw, which
allowed the completion of an HDR
finish, as mandated by Amazon.
"I tried to incorporate a rich,
soft quality," says Vertovec. "[We
wanted] these contradictory concepts
of having contrast, but also an overall

soft feel. Normally, contrast makes
everything seem harsher and sharper.
We were trying to ride that line where
there's a lot of contrast, but then
there's also this soft, painterly quality
that we were trying to preserve."
Other episodes of Tales From the
Loop were shot by cinematographers
Ole Bratt Birkeland, Craig Wrobleski,
CSC and Luc Montpellier, CSC. The
show's directors include Jodie Foster
and Charlie McDowell.
Reflecting on the experience,

Cronenweth notes that Tales From the
Loop is "something different - something people have to think about
when they watch it."
