Sean Conaty Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I'm wondering if anyone knows how Ellen Kuras shot the David Berkowitz scenes in Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam" (1999). I'm having trouble analyzing them. If you're unclear as to what I'm talking about, I'd be happy to give more details, but I don't want to mislead in any way. I'm shooting a dream/hallucination sequence and I need it to be very stylistic and this is EXACTLY the look I'm going for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted May 8, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted May 8, 2005 I don't have my ACs with me now, but there was an article when the film got released. As far as I remember they shot these scenes on crossprocessed reversal stock. For the shots of the dog, they used an anamorphic attachment, thereby squeezing the picture.
