Probably the most challenging location during production was a secluded beach, situated far from the city and away from any motorable surface. “We had to hand-carry all our equipment, and with the distance and time constraints, heavy gear was out of the question,” Afsar recalls. To create moonlight for the night shoot, the crew rigged a moon box with 40 SkyPanels on a 300 feet crane positioned one kilometer away from the scene. “Additionally, we placed a SkyPanel 360-C on a 40-feet cliff, anchored with ropes and rigged on top.” While the scene was captured entirely with Steadicam and handheld, Afsar states, the ALEXA 35 rose to the occasion, producing great images despite the demanding conditions. Using the Enhanced Sensitivity ISO and utilizing the Deep Shadow texture, the DP was able to create the desired atmosphere and handle the challenges. “We were delighted with the result,” says Afsar.
