  • Director of Photography Ed Lachman worked with Director Pablo Larraín to produce a unique black and white look for Netflix's film 'El Conde.' Lachman had Arri build a custom B&W senor Alexa, had 1930s Baltar lenses rehoused, and hung a grip with a camera off a 90-foot crane to capture the astounding, acrobatic sequence.

    That scene was soooooo beautiful! I remember telling myself: this isn't a green screen, it looks too real. Beautiful cinematography and a very unique movie. It truly will be in amongst my "best cinematography-movies--of all time-list"!

    Fantastic. His dedication to traditional authentic lensing and monochromatic imagery, married with digital convenience enabled by Arri with the sensor, in essence freed him to implement his exposure system vision to a wonderful conclusion. Brilliant.

    I'm guessing that quite a few people reading this are cinemaphotographers. If so can anyone recommend any filters, that will help me achieve a similar look on micro budget film? I'm using an Ursa Mini. It's a long shot, but you never know.

      Test some older lenses - possibly Carl Zeiss Jenas, Canon FLs

    • @stevenhightop2518
      @stevenhightop2518 2 місяці тому +2

      The Ursa Mini has a colour sensor, so a lot of the look will come in the grading. Tue monochrome sensor use colour filters to affect contrast in camera. For example, in tru B&W, to capture blue sky as dark grey, with white clouds you need a yellow, or orange or red filter. The darker filters get a darker grey. Those filters will not work with a colour sensor. In post, you will have to avoid de-saturatiing and instead mix the channels to mimic a true B&W look.

    Why not just shoot it in color and then have the additional ability to bring the light levels and the dark levels of every color down or up in post production ?

      So the studio doesn’t change their mind and force them to release a colour version. It’s happened before in the past.

    • @JuliogomezNetDC

      Because capturing images on a sensor without the RGB Bayer filter allows you to obtain a much superior resolution and contrast and a truer black & white tone plus the posssibility, if you wish, to use color filters in front of the lenses. Add the chance to combine all that with the EL Zone System and the difference its pretty remarkable. It's not even close to be the same.
