his potential buyers, leading to a car chase
set against the black oblivion of the Mojave.
Rinaldi captured the chase with a Pursuit
Systems Off Road Buggy. The cinematographer operated the camera using a
Nettmann Stab-C remote head while stunt
driver Josh Lakatos drove the buggy along
its sandy track. An 18K rigged on a 45'
Condor created a moonlight effect, and a
4K rigged to the same Condor basket -
but pointed in the opposite direction - illuminated the background. "I wanted to
have the moonlight effect always as a backlight," Rinaldi explains, "so we had to reset
and back up the cars to their first position
after every take."
Chimeras was graded at Rome's
inHouse Post by colorist Rocio Valladares
Alegria using DaVinci Resolve. Alegria
added inHouse's proprietary grain for a
more filmic look. Rinaldi notes that inHouse
"has a special algorithm for grain that they
programmed themselves, and I really fell in
love with it. The good thing about [adding
the grain in post] was that I could adjust the
grain effect scene by scene or even frame
by frame. For example, maybe on a closeup I would want a little less grain, and that's
something you can only do in the digital
world."
For its upcoming festival run,
Chimeras was finished as a 2K DCP. A
ProRes 4:2:2 HQ file was also prepared for
the short's eventual online afterlife. Additionally, Minucci has expanded the short
story into a feature-length screenplay,
which Rinaldi hopes will be shot in 2016.
"Gianluca and [Chimeras producer]
Gregory J. Rossi are trying to fund it in L.A.
right now," the cinematographer says. "I
think the short makes a great promo for a
[feature-length] version, and I really hope
●
we get to make it."
