In a studio in Guangzhou, two female classmates were playing and playing. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for female students to play, but generally only in a more relaxed state, such behavior will occur. Strangely, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them in the room, and how could the two female students play so naturally in this environment.
It turned out that this was the shooting scene of the first film in China to use the 8k HDR technical standard - "18 Days". In addition to a large number of crew members, there are also large and small photography, lighting and other equipment.
The scene was directed by American cinematographer Bo Hakala. During filming, he monitored the footage and smiled involuntarily on his face. It can be seen that he has a high degree of satisfaction with the content of the picture.
Bo hakala was born into a family of art, and under the influence of books and paintings, he became a storyteller who used images. Although he has lived in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, he has worked in nearly every state in the United States, in addition to sixteen countries and four continents.
Bo has been involved in many commercials and television shows, and in the film production field, Josh Hartnett starred in the romance "Stuck Between Stations", which was screened by Bo, which participated in the Tribeca Film Festival in 2011, and another war film "Remembrance", starring James Cromwell, which appeared at 4 major film festivals in 2012. His most recent work projects include the sci-fi thriller 400 Days, which stars Dane Cook, Brandon Rose, Katie Lotz and Ben Federman.
It can be said that Bo's photography experience is very rich, however, this time as the director of photography for "18 Days" is the first time in his history that he has participated in a mainland project. Some people say that the national conditions are different, and shooting Chinese films with foreign perspectives may not be able to shoot the taste of China at present.
Some people also say that movies have no borders, seniority is very important, as long as the technology is excellent, it is not a problem to be competent for the position. What do you think?
