Genesis was very much a deciding factor in my decision to use the system,” he says. “We shot the rest of the background plates on film.” Throughout the production’s 79 days of principal photography, Blanford remained in close contact with Bleibtreu. “I know what second units have added to films, so ours was a very close relationship, and Josh did a great job for me,” says Blanford. He adds that he was particularly grateful Bleibtreu could handle main-unit responsibilities on two days of additional photography, after Blanford left for Bulgaria to shoot another project. “Josh is also going to supervise the digital intermediate [DI] at Technicolor’s new facility on the Sony lot, because I’ll still be here [in Bulgaria]. I sat down with Josh and our very talented colorist, Stephen Nakamura, before I left, and I’ve been talking with them over the phone.” One truly fantastic aspect of Silver Surfer was that the filmmakers were able to enjoy 35mm dailies, which were processed by Technicolor Vancouver. Story gives credit for this to producer Ralph Winter.“If your movie is going to be projected from a film projector, you need to see what that’s going to look like so there won’t be any surprises,” remarks the director.“At some point in the future, when we’re just doing digital projection, we should be looking at our films digitally and projected big.” Thinking back over his work on Silver Surfer, Blanford says he was fortunate that his first studio picture was “part of [a franchise] I’d already worked on with the second unit, where I already knew the actors, the director, the producers and everybody. Because it was such a comfortable situation, I was really able to hit the ground running. It was a perfect experience.” s TECHNICAL SPECS 2.40:1 Super 35mm, High-Definition Video Panaflex Millennium XL2, Platinum; Arri 235; Panavision Genesis Primo lenses Kodak Vision 2 500T 5218, 200T 5217, 250D 5205 Digital Intermediate Printed on Kodak Vision Premier 2393 61
