Director : Guy Davies
Producer: Matt Brawley
Having worked with Guy Davies quite a few times, I believe this was one of the reasons why & how we were able to shoot 56 setups in 8 and 1/2 hrs. We had so much to cover in such a short space of time, but we were successful, a sigh of relief grew on our faces as the 1st AD crossed off each shot 1 at a time sometimes 2 at a time. It was hard work but such a great feeling of accomplishment, whilst not compromising in a way with negative repercussions.
During our meetings Guy expressed he was going for a surreal type of feel, “step right up, step right !” kind of vibe and wanted me to come up with a lighting design to act as a transition from the true ‘fans’ to the not so enthused ‘fans’. Every light was run back to a desk which were programmed accordingly. prep time took a while understandably, but once set, we were able to shoot at speed.
Shot on RED Epic 5k for a final aspect ratio of 2.40.
