American Cinematographer - November 2011 - 37
An ornate mansion proved to be a challenging location because its owners feared movie equipment could damage the interior. To work around the safety concerns, Deakins and his crew employed one of their favorite tactics: ring-shaped lighting rigs mounted in the ceiling, around the existing chandeliers.
Gollish explains the project’s workflow: “Each Codex magazine we shot contained 21 minutes of footage [in RAID 0]. Once a mag was filled, we would take it to the camera truck, where we had a Codex lab in place — a 12-rack unit with a few different modules. Our loader, Jessica Ramos, would copy the magazine to the Codex lab drives, verify the data and then pack the drive to send to EFilm that night. Each day’s drives would be accompanied by a USB Flash drive containing the Colorstream metadata. Once EFilm got the magazine, copied the files and started their process, they would inform us that it was safe to delete that day’s footage from our Codex lab, and we would get the magazines back for recycling.” In Time had a very fast shooting schedule of just 55 days, all on location in and around Los Angeles, with many days requiring a company move to a second location. Most of Deakins’ lighting approach sprang from the use of practical lights with a bit of augmentation.
Deakins typically shot at 800 ASA, but he also utilized 400 ASA for day exteriors to avoid the need for excessive ND filters. His lenses were Arri/Zeiss Master Primes, and his shooting stops were set to T1.4 or T2.5 for the majority of production. He lauds the Master Primes as

“lightweight, compact and fast. When you’ve got such a small camera, you want primes and small lenses to take maximum advantage of the compact size.” As the movie’s plot unfolds, Will is gifted with a century of extra time that’s added to the digital “clock”
