Creating two distinct looks for Disclaimer
Disclaimer is a 2024 psychological thriller series, written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Renée Knight. The seven-part Apple TV+ drama, which received its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and was shown in two parts at the Telluride Film Festival, is now streaming on Apple TV+.
The series follows the documentary filmmaker by the name of Catherine Ravenscroft, played at different stages of her life by Leila George and Cate Blanchett, whose “mask falls” when she receives a manuscript of a supposedly fictional tale.
The series was shot by cinematographers Emmanuel Lubezki, ASC, AMC (‘Chivo’) and Bruno Delbonnel, ASC, AFC, and the colour was delivered on Baselight at Postworks NYC by supervising colourist Peter Doyle (now Picture Shop).
“Creatively, the biggest challenge was maintaining the uniqueness or ‘signature’ of each DoP’s look throughout the seven episodes. ”
