Simon Chaudoir takes us of this gorgeous Biotherm spot.
"It was a hell of a shoot--we had one day on two stages at [Island] Studios Cape Town with four sets in all. The next day we started on the beach before sunrise, then battled with the incoming tide for the end shot of the story and wrapped just before a huge wall of fog enveloped us all.
As always with projects that have more ambition than time, a lot of energy was expended planning just how to achieve it all, but I’m delighted with the result. Who knew a skincare advert could be so epic? The pre-dawn shots were hoovered up in no-time by Jo Oosthuizen with his Trinity--let’s face it, normally the sun has bleached out whatever magic there was in the air before everyone’s happy with the shots--but he was a laser-guided missile.

“I had an amazing time with lots of learnings and growth on this one, there were days on set when it felt like Kim our Director took us to church during takes."
The Standard Bank Rise "Above the Noise" commercial was shot by Rick Joaquin () and speaks to the importance of self-belief and the strength of individuals who carve out their own paths in life. The film portrays multiple stories and carefully selected music that perfectly complements the narrative of each of the artists it follows.

"I still approach filmmaking in the same way: What's the best way to tell the story? What genre is it, and how do we achieve that genre? The more projects you do, you recognize, 'Oh, there's a shortcut here,' or, 'We can do it this way,' or, 'There's a smarter way to do this.’ Sometimes, it's the other way: ‘I've tried that, it doesn’t work,' or, ‘I’ve done that before, let's try a different route.' You also try to accommodate the director and make sure that they're happy, whatever it is that they're trying to achieve.
Recently, I've been using ShotDeck a lot because it's quite an easy way to explain to a director or production designer that you like this kind of mood or feeling. Of course, you also research the subject matter. If it's historical, then you spend time looking at the art of the time, and pictures and newsreels and whatever you can get your hands on, to give you a sense of what the period and the era’s lighting and colours looked like. That all feeds into how you approach it."
Part 1 of our conversation with Stephan Pehrsson BSC, he discusses his approach to and how inspiration has struck for shaping the look of some of his projects, including for which he won a Best Cinematography
"For instance, with Demon 79, it was all browns and oranges and that kind of thing. A lot of that came from design, but also it was my memory of what ’70s films like Mean Streets looked like, those kinds of New York films from the ’70s. Plus, we had all the British horror films of the ’70s that we watched, looking at how they were lit and the way the film stock picked up the colour. That very much fed into how we wanted to approach our style and look.
For SAS: Rogue Heroes, we were watching war movies like Kelly's Heroes and The Guns of Navarone, which had the feeling we wanted to invoke but with a slightly more modern sensibility. We probably moved the camera a bit more than they would have in the ’70s, but the colours and the tones were very much taken from the look of those films."
20/06/2024
Part 2 of our conversation with Stephan Pehrsson BSC (.pehrsson) takes us of lighting choices and his relationship with Chris Stones.
"Lighting evolves with the new kit and new technology that comes out, but I think my style — not that it is a style — is about being quick and light on your feet. I like to light the room and spend time on a good pre-rig to be as efficient as I can between setups. You want to have something you can move in and out of quickly.
Chris Stones, the gaffer I've been working a lot with recently, has a great relationship with Panalux. On Your Christmas or Mine 2, we needed a big, soft light all around this vast alpine set, which was supposed to be in the Austrian Alps with a fantastic view over the mountains. They created this huge Translight outside floor-to-ceiling windows, so it's quite a challenge for any lighting department to keep that looking natural and even. We used Panalux Sonaras, banding them together to be one big source for our ‘daylight.’ We had a restaurant scene in a hotel in Austria with the same view as our set. When we got back to England, we realised we had missed some shots, so we went into our set, turned all the lights off inside and just had the Sonaras on outside the windows, and it matched perfectly with the lighting we had in Austria. It was quite remarkable.
I like to keep people involved and make sure they are masters of their own domain. Chris will look after the lighting package, and when we’re rigging a set, I’ll ask him, 'What's your idea? What would you want to do here?' We look at that together, and he comes up with a plan. Often, I operate one of the cameras on set, so I'm not able to look at what the other camera's doing. Chris is great for looking over my shoulder and checking that everything still balances and looks good and is consistent with what we've been trying to achieve. I like it to be as collaborative as possible. I find that you get the best out of people when they are allowed to offer ideas and be part of the process."

''Faces and Atmosphere! Hamlet, starring Ian McKellan, Steven Berkoff, and Jenny Seagrove, was full of close-ups - almost every shot was of a lit face. The Theatre Royal Windsor was our controlled interior location which DP Neil brought to life with colour contrast, haze, and shadows. The Theatre didn't have to resemble the moody and conspiratorial Castle Elsinor, but it had to feel like it. DP Neil kept an excellent diary of the shoot (linked in bio)."
Ben Millar shows us the method to the madness behind the scenes of
"Despite the cast; the budget and schedule were tight. How much budget do you need to light a face and create an atmosphere? Almost always we used 650w Tungstens with Muslin Frames, LiteMat 2Ls, Gemballs, and Rifas, time-tested classics. The set-ups demanded speed and the actors appreciated the warm tungsten glow.
A Spark will tell you (or an Actor in the middle of a scene) that the best light is the closest light to hand. Panalux had everything we needed and more. They understood the budget and the production, and offered a consistent and reliable customer service with logisitical management that always takes weight off a Gaffer's and Best Boy's shoulders.
First Diagram: A standard interior close-up: soft key, subtle backlight, colour contrast, eyelight. This was our bread-and-butter. I love it. Watching the blocking for the different beats and angles, then discussing with DP Neil the approach, finding the mood, setting it all in an hour, then trying not to tweak.
Second Diagram: Lighting 200m of Windsor Castle walls and towers (only a few days after Prince Philip died). 10Ks along the street, Parcans picking out details, a LiteMat8 on top of the Theatre roof lighting the talent. All that was for a slight lift in the shadows, it's tempting when you have the firepower to over do it. The scene worked, but had we done it again, I would have used more sources but smaller! An unforgettable project.''

Steve Finberg discusses a lighting behind the scenes of a commercial shot in July 2023.
"Using a video wall outside the windows so it can all be captured in camera, avoiding post production. We had something like 9 sets, with 4 being in position at one time. Only enough lights to have 2 sets lit at once so we could always move into the next set without wasting time relighting. There was only one video wall though so it had to be moved quickly to whatever set we were shooting on, so built the sets in one line so the 2 tonne video wall could roll along the I-beams easily. We added extra motors to bridle the screen so we could also adjust distance away from the windows. It was a delicate compromise: if the screen came too close it became impossible to light the set, but too far away and you’d end up seeing off the screen. (Note the magenta hue of the screen wasn’t visible on the shooting camera, as the screens were calibrated to look correct for an Alexa sensor, but looked a little magenta both to the eye and on the iPhone)."

“In order to show the journey the characters go on, we needed to slightly extend the spectrum. When we needed a warm, happy scene, we went slightly past the normal warm and organic tones, and likewise when it was a cold, sad scene, we took it slightly colder and bleaker, enhancing the change.”
Gaffer Chris Dowling () shines a light on his collaboration with cinematographer Ole Bratt Birkeland BSC for writer-director-star Daniel Levy’s ()Netflix feature Good Grief, serviced by Panalux, Panavision and Light Iron.
“We tried to maintain as low a carbon footprint as possible throughout the project. Wherever possible, we used the latest LED fixtures to try to keep the times we used a generator to an absolute minimum. We are at a point now in the industry where we can really start to make a difference. Having the newest tech also allowed us to have a huge amount of control at our fingertips. This gave us the advantage of speed as well as fine-tuning whilst the shot developed.
I would say 80 to 85 percent of the movie was shot using purely LED fixtures — kudos to Ole for embracing the technology. Anyone who has used LED fixtures as well as tungsten or HMI will tell you they feel and react differently. The craft and skill is knowing that and putting things in place to bring it back to the warmth and organic feel of tungsten and the sharp, clean feel of HMI for daylight.
My favourite lighting setup normally ends up being the one that caused the most headaches. Those are the ones that test you and push you forward. On this project, I would say it was the studio shoot. We were in a tiny studio in the back of Acton, with no height, no space, no rigging, no mains. The scenes in the Paris bedroom, with its huge windows, were shot there. We needed two lighting setups as well as a Translight. When I saw that on the screen, I thought, ‘Yes, we smashed that.’ The lighting and Ole’s clever use of lens and camerawork absolutely shows how it should be done. Even with huge limitations, you can achieve amazing results.”

“Ed Wild BSC wanted to feel a real richness in the images with a classic old school Hollywood vibe, while keeping in step with Guy Ritchie’s signature style.
We had a real mix of sources on this film, large HMI of moonlight and daywork on the big spaces. Lots of tungsten for interiors and soft LED for the actors modelling.
Demre Harbour was one of the biggest sets I have ever been on let alone try to light. The Art Department had built an entire port and village on the site which had hundreds of period practicals all for a moment in the film where the whole town turns off in an instant. We had submarine builds and many boats in the water that all had individual lighting requirements in order for the night raid to work.”

“Latcho Drom is a subtle, poetic film about three Romani brothers and their struggle to move on after the death of their father.
From the beginning, both me and director Lottie saw the film’s visualisation to be very naturalistic, embracing the beautiful, rural environments. Lottie wanted to be able to improvise with the actors so we decided to lean into a more documentary style of shooting. Due to this, we aimed to fully embrace and utilise the natural light to achieve a highly authentic and realistic look for the film.
To achieve this effectively, my gaffer, Joe Dabbs, utilised LiteMats in the space motivating the practicals so that I was able to create more detailed shape and contrast. For the outside nighttime scenes, Joe used ARRI M18 and 2.5kw HMI heads to create the look of outside spotlights.
During the scene featuring the brothers by a fire, my pickup day gaffer, Elena Nassati, strategically placed Astera tubes behind the actors, set to a fire mode, to effectively separate them from the dark sky backdrop.
We had some challenges in our pre-production and Lottie had to re-write a new script a week before our shoot. She created a beautiful story around our main actor, Sonnyboy and his two younger brothers.
Having the story evolve from the initial script, Latcho Drom presented us with a new set of challenges we had to tackle in a short time. Among these were driving scenes that were not initially part of the script. Unable to secure a suitable location for these scenes, we decided to shoot at our school’s LED volume wall instead. I was lucky enough to have the legendary Larry Prinz gaffer for me on this day. Bringing authenticity to the driving scenes was a tricky task, but with Larry’s expert guidance, we were able to create a believable alternative to shooting on location.
Having the support from Panalux on this project was a pleasure and an incredibly positive experience. We were so grateful for them to have supplied us with a generous amount of equipment.”

Channel 4 Idents
#Gaffer Steve Finberg gives us some insights behind the creative process for the #channel4 idents filmed in part at #BlackIslandStudios, serviced by #Panalux London. "Channel 4 Idents, cut down to just show the parts I worked on. Best to watch the full 3 1/2 minutes film to fully appreciate the cleverness of this film that involved dozens of directors and a handful of DPs. Apart from the high speed shots (which were photographed by Dan Tobin Smith), the other cinematographer I worked with on this project was Eponine Momenceau who is a true artist. The job was challenging in having to prelight all 9 sets without having to move lights between sets, on a modest budget. Thankfully Éponine was keen to avoid LED where possible so we mostly used a lighting package more akin to what was used in the '90s: kino flo and tungsten. When we introduced colour for lighting, it had to be considered and have to order the gels required."
