an enormous fireball that explodes from
the alien base. To create the effect of the
fireball bearing down on the car, Pope’s
crew rigged a truck with three Wendy
Lights, an Arri T24 tungsten Fresnel,
and 10 Six-Light Mini-Brutes all gelled
with Rosco Sunset Red and powered by
a 2,000-amp generator. With lightingdesk operator Andrew Mountain riding
shotgun, the “Plasma Truck” chases
Gary’s car, casting a blazing crimson
glow on everything in its path. “The
truck’s headlights were covered, so when
we finished at the end of the night, the
driver had to keep all the lights on so he
could find his way back to base,” Colley
says with a laugh. “From a distance, you
could see this massive red glow moving
down the country lane.”
The production’s negative was
processed at Technicolor London, and
footage was scanned nearby at Deluxe
Laboratories, which provided dailies.
The final grade was performed at
Company 3, with Pope working with
colorist Stephen Nakamura in Santa
Monica, and Wright working from
Pope’s “color bible” with colorist Adam
Glasman in London, where the grade
was finalized. “The look of the film is
quite natural and beautiful, and the
great thing about Bill’s work is that it’s
already there in the negative,” says
Wright. “Even his one-lights look
amazing.”
Pope says Wright’s singular dedication to the craft inspired everyone on
the crew to do his or her best. “A lot of
the crew had never worked with Edgar
before, and I could see their excitement
build as they got to know him,” he says.
“When he steps up to bat, he doesn’t
settle for anything less than a home
run.”
