Check out these colours and textures that the production and lighting teams created on the incredible Cuba set, built on Pinewood’s back lot in London.
The talents of the various design and shooting crews came together to create an result that was vibrant and utterly convincing.
Art Director Andrew Bennet worked with DoP Linus Sandgren to create light in a ‘very graphic way. Every window opened, and every louvre worked, so the cinematographer could put his lights anywhere.’
‘I love working on a stage. It’s more practical, you can control everything and design all the lights,’ says Sandgren who had ten construction cranes positioned around the vast back lot, with a massive light box hanging from each.
I was fortnate enough to travel to Cuba many years ago on one of my very first feature films, and I can tell you this felt like the real thing. Except for the cold. We spent many chilly nights shooting on the set, yet it was breathtaking every time.
I am going to be talking more about getting on set taking pictures in the upcoming Launchpad course - a free introduction to film stills photography taking place in early Sept. Link in bio to find out more and register.
