Blackmagic Design has today announced its Production Camera 4K digital film camera was one of only two camera packages to be used in the production of “War and Peace,” a new adaptation by the BBC, based on Tolstoy’s classic novel. The six part drama was lensed by director of photography (DP) George Steel, and graded on DaVinci Resolve Studio by colorist Simone Grattarola.
Director Tom Harper reunited with DP George Steel (“The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death” and “Black Mirror”) and colorist Simone Grattarola (“Peaky Blinders” and “War Book”) to bring to life Andrew Davies’s (“Pride and Prejudice”) adaptation of the epic story, which follows the fortunes of three Russian aristocratic families during the Napoleonic War.
Second unit production was directed and shot by Stephen Hall and included Blackmagic’s Production Camera 4K, shot spherically. A second Production Camera 4K was employed as a ‘grab bag’ setup for the director. “It was worth its weight in gold. In episode one there is a shot of Andrei Bolkonsky outdoors with the fog swirling around him, before it cuts to a close up. That is something we got using the grab bag,” explains Steel.
