  • Academy Award®-winning Director of Photography Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC, returns to the podcast to discuss his work on “Dune: Part Two.” The film is a stunning achievement, from both the technical and artistic standpoints, which benefitted greatly from being a continuation of his work from part one:
    “Whenever you do a movie, you've got to solve a series of problems... And a lot of the technical stuff had been solved for us in advance, because we'd done part one. So this allowed us the opportunity to dream a little bit. And I wouldn't say, ‘dream bigger.’ But it allowed us to dream with more opportunity… We felt empowered that we were doing the right thing. At least, people were appreciating the job that we had done. And instead of having that paralyze us... We were able to make bold decisions and bold choices. Like the infrared photography on Giedi Prime and the eclipse scene. So we were able to do that a little bit more boldly.“
    -Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC, Director of Photography, “Dune: Part Two”

    He talks about how when filming the 'riding the sandworm' scene, they made a rule that the camera had to present a real camera perspective. That rule has such a massive impact on the realness of these films. When cameras are flying around in ways that can only be done with CGI, it immediately throws me into "playing a video game" mode and takes me out of the immersion of the movie.

    I watched the movie in legit IMAX. And Paul riding the sandworm was just an absolutely incredible sequence especially with the shift to first person view. It is truly a new iconic scene in cinema history. The whole experience is still lingering in my mind even days after. It is truly an incredibly well made movie.

    Yeah film out to intermediates have extremely low granularity, what you get instead is a complex spatial fidelity between dye layers which is also density dependent. Due to the multi-layered scattering properties of the emulsion. Since digital capture employs one layer of photosites with bayer filters, the resolving power is consistent between channels, so doesn't render detail to the same complexity as film.

  • @fallinginthed33p

    Did the film-out process happen after final grading or before? It would be nice to see how highlights and shadows were affected by going out to film and scanning it back in.

    Information for Greg & Dolby: You don't need to film-out only on 1 ASA stock. You can use the same Vision stocks you'd shoot on normally. The lab just needs to configure their ArriLaser.
