Capturing Light – Episode 180 with Arnaud Potier, AFC

In this episode, we talk about

Sense and Sensibility

Choosing 35mm film and how they achieved the softness, texture and richness of period paintings vs a modern, overly sharp look

Creating naturalistic lighting within historic estates and the challenge of making sure that what the location brings — the textures of the walls, the colors, and the existing palette of the space — fits within the visual language that are working to build

Using changes in camera movement, contrast and warmth to reflect the sisters’ emotional journey

Photographing two contrasting dance sequences: using the film’s only Steadicam sequence to follow Marianne’s urgent search for Willoughby at the London ball
