00:00All the films I grew up loving were like shot on Kodak so I fought really hard that we shot
00:13this on Kodak with Panavision lenses. Kodak is the go-to name in the film industry. All those
00:19films you love and you grew up with that have that certain look that's really hard to describe
00:23it's because it was shot on Kodak. The way film stock works is it's not a perfect representation
00:29of reality it's a better version of reality. We've always been chasing that aesthetic as a
00:38filmmaker to be able to sit in the grade and play with the colors and try to get the look of the film
00:46stock that we grew up with. The colors are more sophisticated there's more fidelity in the colors
00:51you know the green so the jungle don't really come through. It takes contrast and does things with
00:57them that make it look better than if when you stood there. You stood in Thailand in this amazing
01:02place you shoot on film and then you look at the dailies and it looks even better. There's a mystery
01:09to the process of film because you don't exactly know what you're capturing. Okay cut very good.
01:14Working with Jurassic World Rebirth was fantastic and it was great that they chose to shoot film. It's
01:19great that the big studio and filmmakers are still able to choose film even if it's a heavy laden VFX
01:27project like Jurassic. I'd rather start with a canvas a beautiful image and paint on top of that.
01:34Having the film stock and the film veneer and grain and these really beautiful wide anamorphic distorted
01:43lenses to work with has been really beautiful. It's something to help us bed the visual effects and the
01:48creatures into. How much bowing and distortion and stretching of the image happens towards the edge.
01:54All sorts of chromatic aberration that happens to the highlights and make sure that when we add digital
01:59elements into the frame that we can sample that and put it all back on. You'll see it on film and
02:05it'll add such texture to the visuals. It's just a lot easier to make film look great so you're already a
02:13really good start in place you know before you do everything else. It just shows that the film is
02:17still capable of handling the latest what technology can still offer.
