We are huge fans of Harris Savides, ASC, so we looked at <em>The Game<\/em>, which has a lot of the DNA we wanted, including the San Francisco location. Studying Fincher\u2019s film, we found they didn\u2019t do any conventional postcard coverage of the city, which is something we strove to avoid ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent films like <em>Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/em><\/strong>, <em>Godzilla<\/em> [ICG May 2014] and <em>Big Eyes<\/em> [ICG December 2014] all shot Vancouver for San Francisco, and <em>Adaline<\/em> followed suit. \u201cLee pushed to shoot the whole film in San Francisco,\u201d Lanzenberg adds. \u201cBut it just wasn\u2019t affordable. In the last 10 years, California has dropped the ball [with film incentives] in my opinion, and a generation of younger crew people may miss the opportunity of being trained by the older guys if Hollywood keeps losing shows. Vancouver-for-San-Francisco can work, but you spend money on CG and set dressing to get it looking as much like the city as possible. We were fortunate our production designer Claude Par\u00e9 was on the first <em>Apes<\/em> film, and our key grip [Finn King] had done <em>Big Eyes<\/em>, so they were both familiar with the issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After shot-listing the film in its entirety and locking in locations, the duo travelled north to photo-board the feature. \u201cUsing our 5Ds, which had ground glass marked for the 2.4 aspect ratio, we took stills of every setup,\u201d Krieger reports. \u201cMy fianc\u00e9e stood in for Adaline, and some PA\u2019s acted as the other characters. We printed those stills on pinup boards and put them up in the production office so the whole movie was laid out two weeks before shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5397\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5397 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3.jpg\" alt=\"As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-601x400.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/As-Time-Goes-By-Web-Exclusive-July-15-3-1051x700.jpg 1051w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lanzenberg (L) last teamed with director Lee Toland Kreiger (R) on the critically acclaimed Sundance 2012 feature, Celeste &amp; Jessie Forever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While they were committed to shooting 4K RAW and anamorphic on ALEXA, Lakeshore was adamant about using a RED camera. \u201cThey hadn\u2019t done anything fully anamorphic and wanted us to use the Epic,\u201d Lanzenberg recalls. \u201cWe did a lot of testing on Red and found Dragon to be far more sophisticated than Epic. But it read more like a 300-speed camera than an 800-speed. We had to push a ton of light through, which meant having to use 20K or 10K units instead of 5Ks. That can explode a lighting budget, so when I was asked, \u2018Do you really need that lighting balloon?\u2019 I would say, \u2018With this camera, yes.\u2019 But cinematographers should be able to work with any camera, so we shot it using many different kinds of glass to keep from getting that severe HD crispness I feared. We were able to go anamorphic for the contemporary scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Preferring the visual dialog offered by prime lenses, Lanzenberg relied upon Hawk\u2019s anamorphic V-Series and V-Lites. \u201cThe Hawks were a little more clinical in look,\u201d he relates, \u201cworking well with the more contrasty modern-day tones.\u201d Though the DP had to resort to shooting wide open on a few occasions, he was able to maintain a stop between 2.8 and 3.5 for most of production.<\/p>\n<p>For scenes set in the 1960s, Kowa anamorphics \u2013 rehoused by Clairmont \u2013 were employed. \u201cTheir warmth and softness worked very well for that section of her story,\u201d Lanzenberg describes. \u201cThen we had Bausch and Lomb Super Baltars for the pre-forties era, which was shot spherical. They had their own nice quality, a great falloff on the frame edges, because the Dragon\u2019s large sensor would see irregularities in the glass in an unusual way \u2013 the lenses were never designed to be used with such a large gate or sensor.

For the first one, she is driving a Model-A that ends up in a pond. We shot in March, when there are very low temperatures and various restrictions in Canada, so our production designer built this amazing set on stage with the car leaning on its side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two tanks were employed for the sinking vehicle, one for everything shot above the waterline, the other for underwater views. \u201cThe second was a 35-foot tank, maybe twenty feet deep,\u201d the DP adds. \u201cWe had a 4K Phantom camera for that to capture anything going on underwater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the night driving scenes preceding the crash, an age-old issue reared its head. \u201cHow do you light a night scene on a road that has no street lamps [as motivation]?\u201d asks Lanzenberg. \u201cIn our case, that meant four 135-foot Condors at each edge of the road, all pushing Maxis. How do you justify light coming from everywhere? We were helped by the fact there is a very surreal aspect to this movie, so claiming this is moonlight makes sense, and it looked beautiful with some depth.

One challenge of this picture, given its tone and style, was that VFX shots really did need to be invisible, as if they had been photographed practically. The falling snow, the San Francisco set extensions and even the car comps had to seem almost mundanely real to go unnoticed; there was none of the usual wiggle room you typically have on a genre picture where spectacle is nearly as important as photo-realism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The VFX professional\u2019s history with primary vendor Luma [see <em>Invisible VFX<\/em>, ICG April 2011] spans two-dozen projects and goes back to his first-ever supervisory gig. \u201cLuma handled the first car crash [including the falling snow] as well as all three \u2018celestial\u2019 sequences in the picture,\u201d McQuaide reveals. \u201cAesthetically, these space shots proved a challenge, since there isn\u2019t any reference to draw from \u2013 no one has witnessed these events from [this] perspective.\u201d Those include views of Earth from space that bookend the film, along with a passing comet and an asteroid that strikes the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Australian VFX facility Cutting Edge was also used. McQuaide describes the company as \u201cvery filmmaker friendly\u201d and obsessive about delivering on time and on budget. \u201cIt was an extremely efficient workflow \u2013 by the time their day begins, I\u2019ve had hours to review work from the previous night,\u201d he adds.
