The Weeknd - Is There Someone Else?
Just before the holiday break I graded up a really nice 35mm project for The Weeknd. Directed by Cliqua and shot by Nick Bupp.
Just after it was shot I started having discussions with the Nick about the look of the feel of the film. References of ‘A Body Double’, ‘Rear WIndow’ and ‘Dressed To Kill’ were all talked about. We really wanted to stay away from Cyan blues in the apartment scenes and go more Navy/Cobalt to reference the 80’s vibe. It was super creative to the go for a bleached bypassed cyan look in the flash photography scene, with these awesome hot white in the highlights.
We wanted to stay true to the natural filmic qualities 35mm organically has but add a little extra contrast pop to make it feel a touch more unique.
