…Unlike the groundbreaking Avatar, which relied heavily on motion capture and synthetic environments, Hugo is a more cinematic production, with real sets and actors, and is based on the traditional language of filmmaking.
Hugo started production in 2010 using then-prototype ARRI ALEXA cameras, which were configured into custom 3D camera rigs by Vince Pace. ALEXA was the choice of cinematographerRobert Richardson, ASC, for its filmic qualities. Camera signals were captured as 1920 x 1080 video with the Log C color profile to portable HDCAM SR recorders. Hugo will be the first 3D release produced with this particular complement of equipment. With post for Hugo in its final stages, I had a chance to speak with two of Scorsese’s key collaborators, Rob Legato (visual effects supervisor and second unit director of photography) and Thelma Schoonmaker (film editor).
