DOP Bella Panggabean on her lighting and lens choices:
“I love this particular project for its narrative approach. When we did pre-production, the director asked me to capture a seamless feel within one household,  For such a challenge to portray a realness relationship and I decided to show the intimacy using Cooke’s 2x Anamorphic/i glass. The oval bokeh and modern look of the Cooke Anamorphic/i SF’s lenses was my primary go to option and my favourite length was absolutely the 40mm, it allowed me to capture the intimacy by being close with the subjects plus adding great texture to the narrative approach . The coating on the SF set allowed me to enhance the depth in my close ups of the young boy during his role play.

I lit the interior of the house with warm colour to show the contrast and give the insight on how warm and beautiful the relationship among the family members is. The SF’s delivered both looks I was looking for.
