Where No DP Has Gone Before
Great article from ICG about the shooting of Star Trek. Excerpt:
No sweat for Kauai-based Dan Mindel, cinematographer on the new Star Trek feature, who not only tackled the assignment with relish, but insisted on upping the ante. “The first thing I did was try to convince everyone we should shoot in anamorphic,” Mindel laughs. “There’s a big surge of people who feel it’s an antiquated workflow, and yet, technically, it’s still the highest method of image gathering we’ve got that works in a corporate-friendly way. Studios and younger producers and some directors have really forgotten these facts.”
