“His wings slowly open, but there are more of them than there were before. And from the feathers, eyes blink. They are wide, and terrible, and stare out from infinite depths.”
Knowing that shooting on the Arri Alexa SXT and adding old film effects in post production wouldn’t look right, DP Gavin Finney got creative. He used the Arriflex D-21, one of Arri’s first digital cameras, and attached a hand crank handle from a film camera digitally to the D-21, making it the world’s only hand-cranked digital camera. This allowed him to have control over how fast the camera recorded, giving it that old irregular speed feel. With the addition of a Lensbaby creative effect lens and holding it loose in front of the lens mount while cranking the camera, the old film look and feel just needed to be finished in post with some grain and a black and white conversion.
All of this creative innovation and dedication to vision for a 30 seconds scene. That’s why every part of Good Omens is special, friends.
