kitchen, providing the impression of a
soft downlight and allowing the actors
greater freedom in the confined space. In
the bunker, a spotlight effect was
created by a 4K toplight pumped through

and the low-light environments, T4 was
as low as I could go," McGarvey says. "I
love shooting on Kodak film because of
its consistence and clarity."
Film processing was handled by
Technicolor, and McGarvey was thrilled
with the service he received: "They did a
fantastic job. The timing of the dailies
was impeccable throughout, and I had
daily contact with the lab. What was

"All requirements, which have been initiated by Dolly Grips or Camera men,
have been considered. The dolly is simply made with regard to easy ope¬

The film's harsh location and

impression on those involved in the

of the results, and he gives director Roth
