Harsh Destiny
"Night interiors were lit with multiple smaller
sources of light, primarily covered wagons,
pancakes and China balls on overhead Mega
Booms," Murphy says. He further explains,
"Covered wagons were wrapped in a layer of Lee
129 Heavy Frost and a layer of Day Gray muslin
- the only two diffusions I like to use!"
bulb, which we ran off a tiny 6-volt
battery hidden in the lamp. Underpowering the lamp like this gave it a
little extra warmth, and after the art
department dressed the glass funnel
with some soot, it helped disguise
the filament. That prop lamp then
carried over to other night sequences
and locations, both exterior and interior, so I kept all of the night work at
T2.3 to help burn out and disguise
the bulb filament."
Other
scenes
involving
diegetic light sources found Murphy
using a variety of tungsten bulbs -
heavily dimmed, either in pancakes,
China balls, or as covered wagons -
with a scattering of different
wattages to provide an organic,
varying light level behind layers of
diffusion.

Murphy used Arri's Alexa Mini camera, provided by Panavision, and recorded ProRes 4:4:4:4 XQ at 2K 2048x858
(2.39:1), with select shots at higher resolutions in anticipation of later visual-effects work. Digital-imaging technician Darren
Chesney worked with Pomfort's Silverstack software for data management alongside a Flanders Scientific DM250 display, and
collaborated with Scott Ferguson at postproduction house Yellowmoon, with Murphy and Cubitt's oversight, to create a single
look-up table for the production. (One scene-specific LUT was also prepared for a dream sequence.) "I did two backups on set
and sent footage to Yellowmoon on shuttle drives each day," Chesney explains. The on-set workflow was simplified by the
decision to have further backups and proxies made at Yellowmoon.
