Everything came together — composing our shots as portraits on large-format film, and then tying that into our story.” The department-store scenes were shot in an old building in downtown Los Angeles, and these sets included the showroom, Quell’s portrait studio and his darkroom. Malaimare and Anderson wanted these various settings to have different qualities of color: daylight neutral in the showroom; tungsten yellow in the portrait studio, which is located within the showroom; and yellow-green in the darkroom. Dozens of daylight-balanced Kino Flo practicals were installed in the ceiling above the showroom floor. Even after aiming eight Condor-mounted 18K ArriMaxes through the windows and positioning several 18K HMI bounces around the room, the team had to switch to Kodak Vision3 250D 5207 to achieve proper daylight-balanced exposure. 38 November 2012 American Cinematographer
