About Last Night
ABOUT LAST NIGHT was my second F65 feature. My long time friend, producer Glenn Gainor (with whom I did NO GOOD DEED and a number of other films) wondered aloud if it would be crazy to do the movie without a generator. Mind you Glenn truly understands technology and we had both just witnessed the F65 exceed all of our expectations. The studio had promised to green light the film only if he could deliver it for a price. On the creative end, Glenn, along with Screen Gems President Clint Culpepper and our 7
Director Steve Pink, wanted to make the film in downtown LA with every scene taking place in a practical location. Glenn reasoned that if done right, LA would become a character in the film. Sounded good to me. With no generator, every light was small enough to be plugged into a wall. Predictably, our biggest challenge were day scenes that had to be scheduled carefully to make the best use of natural light. Our only daylight augmentation was a Noah’s Ark package of 1.8K Arrimax lamps and VISTA BEAM 300s and 600s.
