Premium Member Rupe Whiteman Posted March 22, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted March 22, 2007 Just watched this again on dvd... there are a few scenes with a number of fires in the frame but the flames are burning bright white and not warm/orangey as norm. 'Just wondering if anyone knows is this has been achieved with over-exposure, filtration, neg proesses, in the d.i. or by using white burning/very hot propellants? Curious to know...

Curious to know... haven't seen the film but it sounds to me like the cinematographer used the fires as actual sources of filming light thus rendering them way overexposed.

Premium Member Rupe Whiteman Posted March 24, 2007 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'd presumed it was just due to over-exposure but it's very controlled and deliberate, and consistant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Terner Posted March 24, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted March 24, 2007 I think I recall a piece in ASC by a cinematographer who said he shot flames at f4 to get them to come out 'orangey' whereas if he'd lit to 2.8 or under they turned out white.
