JAKE’S THING
Cinematographer Jake Polonsky is currently dividing his main time between promos and commer- cials. But together with one of his most regular collaborators, direc- tor Olly Blackburn, he’s hoping a feature project will soon come to fruition.
They recently completed a pilot for a comedy called Fever – three scenes in all shot on DV starring Late Night Shopping star Enzo Cilenti – for further consideration by the Film Council.
Meanwhile, Polonsky’s promo work continues to be prolific and varied. For director Jeff Thomas, he lit My Vitriol’s Grounded which was accorded Promo Of The Month.
Featuring the maverick Hollywood actor Vincent Gallo (below), the three- and-a-half minute film with a ghostly feel was shot atmospherically on Fuji within spitting distance of the M25 in Surrey.
“There is no more chaotic front end of film production than the music video,’ said Polonsky, a Fuji Scholarship Award winner in 1996.
“It’s incredibly hard work,” he added, citing recent stints on Simian’s The Wisp (directed by Sam Arthur) and the latest by Groove Armada. “That had 100 slates in two days, and we were doing at least 16 hours a day.” ■

When it came to creating the overall look of the action thriller, which co-stars John Travolta, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman and Vinnie Jones, Sheen said he wanted to depict a high sheen of glamour, “while not being afraid of colour.
‘We were constantly mixing gels and the colour palette is pretty strong,” the director explained. “Each location had a colour palette assigned to it and the prac- tical lighting dictated the light we would use on the actors.
“For instance, if there was a green lantern, the light on the faces would be green instead of trying to create perfect flesh tones. It looked glossy and sexy –
