Daniel playing against a projector, and it just takes your breath away.” During production, select takes were printed on 35mm by Technicolor London for the filmmakers to review. “Now that the DI is fairly standard, I create my own list of selects as we go through the shooting day,” Beebe explains. “That gives me an opportunity to look at film on the big screen and get a sense of the numbers and the set. The production also digitally transferred all dailies onto Apple TV hard drives that I would plug into my monitor and watch at home. “The catch with digital dailies is that they’re struck straight off the negative, so you’re going to get a little more openness in the image than the final print will have,” he continues. “Once you make a film print, the really deep shadows get shut down and elements at the edge of your latitude go away. I recommend randomly printing and projecting dailies on film to see how it’s translating on prints to the screen; it informs and changes how you do things on the set.” The DI was completed at Ascent Media London, where Beebe and colorist Adam Glasman worked on a DaVinci Resolve. “Our approach was to give many of the fantasy sequences a dusty-gold tone,” says Beebe. “Each musical number was designed and lit to have its own color palette, mood and tone. We were careful not to oversaturate the picture or crush any of the blacks in the DI; we preferred detail, dust and atmosphere in the shadows. We wanted the world to have texture and reflect Guido’s somewhat troubled state of mind. “Nine was a very exciting project that was both a challenge and a pleasure,” he concludes. “Early in my career, I never imagined myself making movie musicals, and I have discovered it’s such a disciplined and imaginative format. Rob has such a great eye and great talent that he elevates the work I do. I look forward to the next one.” ■ TECHNICAL SPECS 2.40:1 3-perf Super 35mm Panavised Arricam Studio, Lite; PanArri 235 Panavision Primo lenses Kodak Vision3 200T 5217, 500T 5219; Eastman Double-X 250D 5222 Digital Intermediate Printed on Fuji Eterna-CP 3513DI
