Have you used the Look Up Tables (LUTs) with the ALEXA?

No, no. I never use LUTs on my movies. I have a rush color timer to whom I give my instructions. I always create the image on set. I like to have an image rendering that I like before putting on an additional layer in the color timing. Besides, Richard Deusy, who color timed the film, also loved the image of the ALEXA LF and the Signature Primes. These two tools gave us a good basis for the color timing.

How did you expose the camera?

I worked at 1200 ASA. This brings texture to the image. I was already doing this with the classic ALEXA because I found that it lacked texture at 800 ASA. It gives me the image I want. On “My Cousin,” I sometimes pushed it to 2000 ASA.
