general level of highlights and shadows
were in a very good place," says Hatzer.
"The initial overall grade fell into place
quickly, which allowed us to spend more
time earlier in the DI on details like
matching Jess' color palette, skin-tone
variation, selective highlight halation,
articulated shapes, and the light-to-dark
contour from scene to scene. The LUT
was very subtle, and while it did set the
image up to some extent, it was never
limiting or difficult to work around. The
LUT didn't feel like an add-on, but rather
one component of a very well-thoughtout workflow that allowed me to guide
each scene right to where Jess wanted it to
land, at the same time making sure to
protect it from the tendency of a lot of
modern films to become overly cooked or
pushed in the grade."
Hall says that one of his overarching goals was to create a texture he hadn't
seen before. "I felt that with digital cinematography, there is a danger that things
can become homogenized, without
enough experimentation and pushing of
the boundaries," he notes. "I really
wanted this film to look unique, and
with this intellectual property, we had
every right to explore a unique aesthetic.
I was looking to imbue Ghost with an
amazing amount of detail and texture,
but also a real painterly quality - akin
to the anime. I like taking a camera that
is extremely sharp and sophisticated, like
the Alexa 65, and modifying that resolution with a particular type of intervention. The quality of the light, a particular
softness or imperfection in the lens, a
shallowness in the depth of field, or a
certain quality of atmosphere can be
combined to create a unique look. I
wanted to transport the audience into a
world that feels recognizable, and yet
unfamiliar. Like Hong Kong - which
combines old and new, Asian and
British, the past and the future - and
like Scarlett's character, the Major, who
is not quite human and not quite
machine."
