pack to backlight the rain and illuminate
characters as they come and go. Selee
produced lightning flashes with Mac
Quantum Wash LEDs on two condors.
Though it would have been easier to
keep the mill doors shut, Morrison
notes, "there was more authenticity in
being able to see even a little bit of the
rain and the world outside, and
metaphorically speaking, the water to
put out the fire could be seen and heard
but was just out of reach."
The filmmakers were grateful for
the opportunity to re-create some of the
characters' war experiences during a
couple of days of shooting around
Budapest - "about a 40-minute drive
from the city center," the cinematographer reports. Sequences included a
battle in which Ronsel's tank is fired
upon, and interior scenes in the apartment of his German girlfriend - who is
white - including a sequence in which
they hear of Germany's surrender and
she fears losing him. "The movie was
never intended to have many visual
effects, so when they look out the
window and see the soldiers marching
in the background - we wanted that to
be done in real space," Morrison says.
The director of photography's
Black Panther schedule prevented her
from attending sessions with supervising digital colorist Joe Gawler at New
York's Harbor Picture Co. - but she
viewed the reels on a calibrated monitor
and communicated with Gawler by
altering stills in Photoshop and sending
them back with detailed notes. He then
made corrections and reviewed them in
the DI theater with Rees.
"We maintained a softer contrast
in the shadows throughout, to stay
true to the movie's naturalistic feeling,"
offers Gawler, who worked with
MXF/ArriRaw data on Blackmagic
Design DaVinci Resolve 12 on a Linux
system. "We would add contrast for
dramatic effect in certain areas, such as
the thunderstorm early on and the
torch-lit scene at night in the barn.
Rachel also captured some amazing
moments of the sun setting and rising
that benefited from just a touch of additional magic in the sky."
Morrison concludes, "I try to
choose projects that are meaningful to
me and ideally have a message that will
engage the audience in some form of
social consciousness. Mudbound had the
added bonus of being a period film,
which is a gift to any cinematographer."
