On The Rails In Red

2006 - Drama, 16mm, 21min
Thunderstone's Dave Clement worked on this film as Director of Photography (DOP) with Director Piotr Skowronski. The DOP is responsible for the cinematography and overall visual look of the film. He works with the Gaffer (Scott Baker in this case) and Best Boy, using the placement of lights and camera to achieve the desired results. Sometimes, as in this case, the DOP also operates the camera. This film was shot in Super 16mm film with an Arriflex SRII XL Super on Fuji stock.

This was a particular challenging project as that it was shot completely at night, over 5 consecutive nights, within the confines of an old VIA train. The movement of the train had to be simulated with lighting.
