this harbor scene for when she returns
home."
For both the Alexa XT and F65,
Dryburgh generally stuck to their
respective base ISOs of 800, although
for practical night locations with the
Alexa, he would push to 1,600. "I've
always hated the idea of stacking up
filters on a digital camera, and I used to
rate at a lower speed if I could," he
explains. "But I realized that all you do
[by lowering the camera's sensitivity] is
compress the top end of the signal."
And the image quality at the top end,
the cinematographer contends, is one
of the elements that makes the Alexa
"such a great camera. In my experience
- particularly with Open Gate 3.4K
- I've never experienced any issues
[rating the camera at 800 and using
ND filters in front of the lens], as long
as you end up with a good exposure
and not drag too much out of the
bottom end."
Pete Cavaciuti served as
Dryburgh's
A-camera/Steadicam
operator, with Ashley Bond as Acamera 1st AC. The Alexa captured
ArriRaw to Codex XR Capture
Drives, and the F65 captured 16-bit
4K raw files to Sony's proprietary SRR4 recorder that docks to the camera.
In both cases, the cards were backed up
on set and then sent to Deluxe's
Company 3 in London for storage,
archiving and dailies creation, the
latter of which was performed with
Colorfront On-Set Dailies. Once the
dailies had clearance and the LTOs
were struck for archival purposes, the
cards were sent back to the set for reuse.
Dryburgh worked closely with
digital-imaging technician Peter
Welch in developing base LUTs for
both camera systems. "We shot some
tests in a variety of situations - faces,
bright backgrounds, dark backgrounds, night exteriors," the cinematographer says. "We took the files to
Company 3 and basically refined the
look we wanted in terms of gamma
and saturation. Having made those
adjustments in the DI suite, you can
