NopeMovie DP Hoyte van Hoytema talks about shooting Jordan Peele's new thriller and the kinship he feel with Michael Wincott's cinematographer character: 'He makes cinematographers look good. A lot of cinematographers are scruffy bastards.'
The UFO drama/thriller stars Daniel Kaluuya as a horse wrangler, who along with his sister Keke Palmer, start encountering UFO sightings. Along with Brandon Perra as Angel, the trio attempt to capture the sighting on film.to shoot his spectacle. It was the Peele’s first outing shooting on film and using large format 65mm IMAX cameras.
It truly is a spectacle. But you also shot on the new IMAX 65mm cameras, how did that format serve his vision and your signature of wanting to shoot realism? With shooting on film, it’s something that I’ve done for years, and I love it. I still live with the conviction that technically there is nothing better than film. No other medium can draw detail in a more naturalistic and organic way than film. Jordan shot his other films digitally, and I think he really wanted to dip his toes into that. He’s an information-hungry person and he loves learning and trying new things out, so he embraced this.
On a script level, Jordan knows where he wants fear and attention, so our discussion is very much about how we can achieve that and what we can do to convey that feeling.
