With Orange Sunshine, they shot a lot of “re-enactments”. Some of it was on film, Super 8, and some on high speed Phantom. We really wanted to push the colour and to make it look like found footage shot in the 60’s and 70’s, especially the Phantom footage.

I look at a shot and then I find the best part of it, the part that represents a photograph, and I go from there. I love print film and photography so I try to see it as a picture instead of a moving image. A lot of my style and taste comes from photographs prior to 1979.

Sometimes, not early enough. It does change project to project. With films and documentaries, I get involved much earlier and I wish most commercials were done that way.

When I started at Framestore, my first job with the team was Rihanna #ANTIdiaRY. I was able to sit in on creative meetings with the team early on which told me a lot about the workflow and the project. For me, being involved from the outset helps my understanding of the project but it also makes it feel more collaborative.

We are still tinkering with Baselight for NUKE. Since we opened our colour suite in LA eight months ago, we have been slowly implementing Baselight Editions across our departments. We’ve really taken advantage of the new conform tool, too, which gives us an additional fully operational assist station and that allows for a much more efficient workflow.

I like that it’s built specifically for colour grading and all of the tools are created with the artist in mind. Beyond that, it has all of the technical capabilities that no other software has.

Baselight feels more organic to me. I think it’s more intuitive and I like the way it handles a variety of files with ease.

A lot of images are starting to look the same: blue shadows, warm highlights and warm skin tones so it doesn’t look like real photography to me. Personally, I like softer highlights, contrast through mid-tones and creating texture, which we don’t see enough of.

Young filmmakers and people who really believe in what they are doing.

Philip Seymour Hoffman. Everything he did, he was so talented.

I don’t think I could ever narrow it down to just one! If I had to choose, I would go for ‘Courtship of Eddie’s Father’ because I made a video with my son to the title song so it’s special to me.

Hiking with my dogs, painting, swimming, eating good food, Pilates.

We have a really strong start to our office in LA and I am excited to be working at Framestore. I am looking forward to adding a theatre here to facilitate doing more long-form work.
