though Will, the protagonist, ceases to
exist in human form as we enter the
second act.
"I also think it's important that
the story is rooted in technological
development that is happening now,"
continues Hall. "Elements of the story
required a futuristic palette, but one
grounded in reality. I'm a great admirer
of photojournalism, particularly The
Magnum Group, and Wally began his
career as a news cameraman. I think we
both connected with the idea of capturing a palpable, tangible realism."
The dichotomy of organic vs.
synthetic guided the entire production,
which shot for about eight weeks in
Albuquerque, N.M., and four weeks in
Los Angeles. The main sets were built
at I-25 Studios in New Mexico under
the direction of production designer
Chris Seagers. Although Pfister
prepped for many months, his main
prep with Hall was about six weeks.
From the beginning, Pfister
Evelyn communicates with Caster from her apartment (top) and the data facility (bottom). All but a few
of the projections were captured in-camera. "That was incredibly beneficial for the actors, and it also
meant that we were composing complete shots," says Hall. "Finding ways to achieve these effects in
camera was a great challenge, but the results were visually exciting."
