DOP Keidrych Wasley on his lens choice:
“There is a wonderful three dimensional depth to the images delivered by the Cooke anamorphic lenses. I find anamorphic lenses distort and render depth in a unique way when compared with spherical lenses. I felt these characteristics would help lift our project a little into something more stylised and cinematic. I particularly like the Cooke anamorphic’s because they are a great bridge between modern cleaner lenses and older more characterful lenses. They distort just enough but not too much, likewise they flare in a way that does not draw too much attention to itself yet still retains an anamorphic character, and they are also sharp whilst still maintaining a gentle and creamy feel. There is a unique balance between modern and character to these lenses that was just right for this project.”.
