I thought some of us interested in lighting might find Cavaggio an interesting film. In some of the production shots it's hard to tell where the paintings in the background end and the set begins.
There's an interesting interview with the cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro here.
To quote a small section:
"I maintain that the sensitivity of a filming system is not exclusively related to the technological level, but also to the intangible possibility of registering emotions. I believe this is a specific characteristic pertaining especially to negative film".
The film was shot in 2.40:1 matted to 2:1 Univisium 3 perf 35mm at 25fps. Univisium is Storaro's invention, the intent being a film format that works better for cinema and HD and is cheaper to shoot. It's been given some further impetus by RED and Jim Jannard who seems to like the aspect ratio.
