THE CINEMATOGRAPHY OF 'SJOPPA / TOGETHER'

THE CINEMATOGRAPHY OF 'SJOPPA TOGETHER'

This was one of those rare experiences in which exploration and experimentation was fully embraced. We shot the film in just a single night, last light to first light. We didn't prep or do much talking prior to the night of the shoot, which I enjoyed as it allowed for us to simply follow our instincts. No references or mood-boards, just a following our gut. Ísak and I are good friends who have worked together countless times before, which I think is what allowed us to shoot the film in the way we did.

Ísak had decided on film from the start, which I remember feeling very excited about, as it meant there were no conversations to be had and no one to convince - we were going to shoot 16mm and that was that. I think it was a brilliant choice for the film, not only for it's ability to so beautifully heighten reality, but also because it is such a great format for experimentation. Instead of standing around the monitor, making little tweaks, our energy was spent on what would be happening in front of the lens at any given time. I feel it's a lot easier to maintain the momentum of the shoot when you let go of the details and embrace the lack of fine-tuned control, which is exactly what this film needed as far as I'm concerned.

We found the tone and mood of the lighting on the day, for the most part. I remember us discussing a sort of grunge and grit to the image, but finding balance between the sensual and the rough. We had recced the location and I had a basic idea of where the light would be coming from, but the colour and quality came on the day. We had two 1.2K HMI's outside the windows and the rest was produced by Titan Tubes, although the green tones were purely from the dirty fluorescents that were already in the cooler. In addition to the fluorescents having a green spike, I'm pretty sure the branded diffusion screen in front of them had a bit of green in it too. I had measured the colour with my C-800 and felt it was a great opportunity to let the film surprise us with the green, which unsurprisingly turned out to be brilliant and a great source of grunge.

The film was captured on two rolls of S16mm 500T (7219), developed normally at Kodak Pinewood and scanned at Digital Orchard. We had an Aaton LTRX (LTR 54 - upgraded to X type magnetic mags) with a set of Zeiss 16mm Super Speeds MK1, kindly provided by Ari Eldjárn. At the time the lenses were still unmodified and had no gears, which meant I had to pull the ears by eye and hope for the best - which for the most part worked out fine! The eyepiece was bright enough and luckily it was all interior night with no ND's.
