Marc Levy Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Does anyone have any info on Jeffrey Kimball's cinematography from Jacob's Ladder (1990)? I've searched, and have found nothing. Specifically, I am interested in the haze effects, and whether haze or filtration was the predmoniant factor in achieving the effect. Any other info would be useful, also. Thanks.

Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted July 4, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted July 4, 2004 Great movie. Brilliantly shot by Kimball. He's one of my heroes - I love his earlier work. His smoky, hazy work on Revenge is fabulous and the work he did on Jacob's Ladder is equally great. His later work hasn't wooed me in the same way.

David Campbell Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 The sequence with Cruise moving through the crowd shot through Spanish Dancers in red in Mission Impossible II was mesmerizing, very good looking picture all the way through. Also you must see True Romance if you haven't yet. Haven't seen Paycheck or The Big Bounce yet though. David Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 14, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted July 14, 2004 Check out "Stigmata", shot by Kimball, using a skip-bleach process for the negative. "Revenge" looks great too. I even like "Beverly Hills Cop II" for the look. Perhaps Kimball has gotten tired of that slick 90's commercial look; by the time you get to something like "Revenge" it almost looks like a parody of a Tony Scott movie, it's so over the top at times. Although I'd rather look at another "Revenge" than another "Paycheck." But he's still one of the best DP's out there; the recent projects just haven't called for that level of stylization. What's nice about "Jacob's Ladder" is that it has some grittiness missing in the Scott movies -- it doesn't look like a perfume commercial; it almost has a 1970's Gordon Willis texture to it.

Premium Member Tony Brown Posted July 15, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted July 15, 2004 I think you should not underestimate the visual awareness of Adrian Lyne with regard to the look of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 15, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted July 15, 2004 No, of course not -- the movie is in keeping with the look of other Lyne movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Levy Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 Anyone know of any articles on the movie? I don't think AC did one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Grindheim Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have the same question as the original poster. Does anyone know which stock(s) this is shot on? Can't find anything on imdb or google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I would think 5274 and what ever never ending higher speed stock Kodak were churning out then trying to get it right ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I would think 5274 and what ever never ending higher speed stock Kodak were churning out then trying to get it right ! 5296 maybe? Great looking movie, worlds away from the high gloss scott brothers look that Kimball was known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 28, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2011 I would think 5274 and what ever never ending higher speed stock Kodak were churning out then trying to get it right ! You mean 125T 5247, and probably 500T 5296, which came out in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
