Unknown/Unknown White Male [Jaume Collet-Serra] s35+65mm (some scenes)+s16-to-35mm scope (+ D-Cinema)/c; 2uc: Roman Jakobi; aph: John Marzano; filmed 2009-10; 'After extensive pre-production testing, we decided to try something new. We shot with a 35mm camera and a Super 16 camera side by side, with a prism redirecting the same image to each camera. We captured two identical images, one with a standard 35mm setup, and one underexposed image on reversal film. We used a nonstandard shutter angle and force-processed and cross-processed the Super 16 image, which resulted in a broken but beautiful, dreamy kind of image. We used Flame software in post to affect the images a bit more. We combined the two images in post, and sometimes quickly flash-cut between the two.'
