or me, visually the film divid- ed into two very specific looks. Obviously I’d seen films that had been shot on Fujifilm and so was aware of the dif-
ference, but I guess I hadn’t felt com- petent enough before to work with the new stock. This, I felt, was the ideal opportunity.
A lot of Mr Polly is shot in flash- back and I ordered it on the basis of using Fujifilm for that. Because I didn’t really have time for tests, I decided to shoot the first scene of the film using both stocks, switching them around halfway through.
When I looked at the results, it seemed to me to work best using it the other way around with the Eterna 250D and Eterna 500T for the then present day portion of the story. I was very happy with the results. ■
