Keslow CameraWe connected with Emmy-winning Director of Photography Christian Sebaldt, ASC, to discuss the experience of crafting “Final Destination Bloodlines,” from defining the visual style of different time periods, to shooting for IMAX, and more. 👇
"We tested old Canon FD lenses, and K35s, anything that I had been dreaming about applying for those period sequences. They all looked nice. And we’re all going, ‘Yeah, this is a possibility. Those are good. We could use those.’ And then Court Weeks (General Manager & Business Development, Keslow Camera Vancouver,) came and said, ‘Have you tried the Leitz Primes?’ And I said, ‘I actually have not. I've worked with many other of the Leitz lenses, but not those.’ And he said, ‘Just try them.’
...We just fell in love with them. They're not too big or heavy, and they're all pretty much the same size. They're easy to work with. And we all said, ‘Let's just shoot both the period and present day segments with these, because we like the look of them.’ They’re spherical, which I preferred over anamorphic because with so many visual effects, I just thought that would make our life easier down the road. Also, to play it safe with IMAX, if we had lenses with aberrations and issues on the edges, that might be a mistake. Everybody's happy with the outcome. We're thrilled." - Christian Sebaldt, ASC
