’m very pleased that we’ve gone the digital intermediate route because given our sched- ule and the time of year we’re working in, there are immense
fluctuations in terms of light levels and intensity.
To a certain extent the DI is going to help me to balance those out. It has been very frustrating on the exteriors when we started with a completely clear blue sky and suddenly the clouds roll in. It’s a question of waiting for the sun to come back. In that respect the DI gives us a certain amount to play around with.
I’ve been very pleased with the latitude of the Eterna stocks; they’re fantastically well suited for the DI process. The range that you have with- in them is fantastic and yet they’re not too soft. You can still hold your blacks and get good constant images.
That’s really why we chose them. I wanted to have a stock that gives me as much information as I can possibly get onto it so that I can take the whole film visually into other places in the post-production. ■
