Lighting The Creator (2023) with Greig Fraser ACS, ASC & Oren Soffer

Фильм және анимация

"I think we've proven it with The Creator that we're able to do something better by taking an approach that's not necessarily the approach that 'in-the-box' thinking would've prescribed." - Greig Fraser ACS, ASC
The production of The Creator (2023) was lauded for a number of reasons: its deeply enthralling and personal storyline, its immersive visual language, and its dedication towards guerrilla filmmaking with the most modern, versatile cinema tools.
When you're shooting all over the natural locale of Thailand, jumping from location-to-location, you have to work nimbly with lightweight cameras and compact lighting solutions to make your day. For Oren Soffer and Greig Fraser, they chose the most mobile LED gear out there like the MCs and LS 1200d Pros.
In this interview, learn how Oren and Greig scaled down their lighting package to shoot a blockbuster movie without any creative restraints.

    It was the edit! The full line was soon to be legendary cinematographer oren soffer. I love Oren, consider him a good friend and a supremely talented DP. We talked for a little over an hour and the finished piece is only 11 minutes so some things ended up in the cutting room floor. If there is enough demand, maybe we'll release the full conversation 🤷‍♂

    Wow. This is fantastic. Being a user / fan of Aputure lights, I am very happy and impressed that Aputure lights were used on "The Creator". That they filmed it with the Sony FX3 was very impressive. Now, hearing that they thumbed up the Aputure 1200D really brings Aputure into the forefront of Hollywood filmmaking. Congrats, Aputure. This is a huge deal.

    This was such an excellent overview! Super cool to see such heavy use of Aputure lights on a feature film. I'd love to see one or two scene breakdowns in a video in a format similar to what Wandering DP does. Or maybe you sponsor one of his breakdowns and have it be an interview.

    GREIG FRASER is a GOD for the film makers of tomorrow ! He’s the only DOP out there who thinks outside the BOX like this. He’s not into HEAVY, time consuming, labour intensive, super costly Gaffer set up’s. He’s a huge proponent of LED’s. He’s not afraid to think l outside the NORM & SAY. Let’s only use THIS instead of all of THAT.

    Wow… the fact that the Sony FX3 was used as a camera on this film had blown me away when I first heard about it, now knowing that Aputure lights where also used is just as impessive since I own some Apurture lights and have been drooling over the 1200d for a while. What an age of filmmaking we live in.

    Great video, I’m a fan of aputure but I think it’s time to accept that other lighting fixtures are used on productions and I know they say you should never advertise a competitor but it’s a little disingenuous to give the impression that only aputure lights were used as I’m read in ASC that they also used Lite Mats and astera tubes. I. The real world people use more than one brand, and for good reasons, be it practical or just because they have legacy lighting and I think it would just good to show how good your lights are at working with others

    @@robertdouble559 Yup, that's even better with 2-layer transistor and being stacked! But if there is an ISO hit then use an extremely fast rolling shutter for much better ISO performance than the current A7SIII/FX3/FX6/ZV-E1.
