Lap of Honor
"The Alexa LF's sensor comes with extra real estate, which had the potential to
give Phedon a kind of super-anamorphic format. The normal anamorphic frame is
about 18mm high, which was the height of the 4-perf film frame. The LF's 25mm
sensor height results in a roughly 1.4x difference in the vertical dimension - that's
a huge magnification difference. When Phedon asked if they could get anamorphic
lenses that would cover the whole height, I said 'Sure!' without really thinking
through the impact and implications. My coworkers sometimes say that I have a
tendency to run with the scissors, so to speak.
"The evolution of lenses has been accelerating. It's changed more in the past
two years than I've ever seen - and it's changed exponentially just since we adapted
the T Series for Phedon and Ford v Ferrari. What we've been seeing might just be
baby steps compared to what's coming."

our night work until 8 p.m. So each
day we'd have this short two-hour
window to complete our night work.
To accelerate our lighting setups, we
placed two [Arri] SkyPanel S360s and
two [High End Systems] SolaFrame
3000 movers in a single condor
basket. We could use the 360s to
create a base ambience, and spot the
movers to specifically highlight
certain areas; we would pick out a
spot, focus in on it, then sharpen or
soften the edges of our beam. This
was very efficient and fast - we
could also control the color with fullrange RGB.
Chasing the Perfect Lap
Papamichael: I was really
happy with a key scene that takes
place after sunset, on a tarmac, with
Miles and his son talking philosophically about the allure of racing. We
had about a 20-minute window to
complete the entire scene, which we
shot at a highly restricted area at the
Ontario airport. There could be no
grip equipment, because the wind
could pick it up, and no film lighting,
since it would bother the incoming
aircraft.
We hadn't worked out our
The Pod-Car - with a Porsche Cayenne
in pursuit - is deployed to capture a
scene featuring the GT40 running
through one of its many test drives.
