Capturing Light – Episode 175 with Xavier Dolléans, AFC

In this episode, we talk about

HIGH VALUE TARGET: THE HUNT FOR SADDAM

Creating two very distinct worlds: the polished, controlled world of Washington, and the war-torn, oppressive atmosphere of Baghdad

References including Zero Dark Thirty, Sicario, Black Hawk Down and The Hurt Locker, to name a few

The interviews are the backbone of the show and how they gave each one between John and Saddam its own look

How camera movement changed from the beginning to negotiations to the final confrontation

The complicated lighting setup, the importance of the windows and filming under the Egyptian sun

Cameras and lenses:  the ARRI Alexa 35 as their main camera paired primarily with Signature Prime lenses

Director of Photography: Xavier Dolléans, AFC
