footage," Bazelli attests. "Not just
applying a LUT, but getting the closest
to the target look of the movie as possible
right from the get-go, and putting that
in front of the studio and everyone so
that they all get used to the look of the
film - and so there's no surprise,
months later, in the final grade. That's
the point of filmmaking: You have an
idea, you shoot it, and you present it to
the director and the studio. Why shoot
something just to change it later into
something totally different? I believe in
the initial visual concept of the film, and
in carrying that directly into execution
and seeing it right away. The advantage
of digital is that you can really do that;
you can see your film, the way it will look
onscreen, the day after you shot it.
"But my greatest desire with these
sorts of films - where the hero is an epic
CGI character - is that we
cinematographers should always be
involved in the postproduction work," he
continues. "It's particularly important
that we be there when the visual-effects
team does the work that impacts how
our lighting interacts with the character.
Many aesthetic choices about lighting
that character are formed at the time of
shooting. In this new era, though, where
so much is done in post, I want to ensure
my unique visual intention is fully
realized with the stylistic choices I've
made. Therefore, it is crucial that we
cinematographers be involved in this part
of the post process."
"We had a great time on this
film," Bazelli concludes. "David is a
wonderful director and a wonderful
human being. We worked together very
well. Sometimes when you work with
someone who has not done a big effects
film before, the tendency might be to
step into his department and take over a
bit. I didn't even think of helping him
that way. I gave him as much room and
freedom to do what he wanted with the
actors, with essentially no limitations.
And it was liberating to be free and allow
the actors to do what was natural, instead
of being structured and controlled by the
placement of equipment. We tended
more toward the emotional approach
and stayed away from traditional
technical filmmaking. We wanted to
create an environment where the
children could be children, and offer a
stronger belief in what they were doing
by surrounding them with reality. It was
an incredibly fun project!"
