Jeffry Abt Posted October 19, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted October 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) "Hanna" I read (don't know where) that a noctilux was used in the filming. Y'all know anything about it? ...re-watched the film with with that in mind. It could be possible. I'd like to know which scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhrads Posted October 19, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted October 19, 2011 Interesting, great movie, I'm sure there were some shots that were done with wide open lens, but noctilux for movie? Does the format translate? I'll have to rewatch as well.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted October 19, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted October 19, 2011 One of my favorite movies of the last year. There are a few scenes where I can see them possibly using it, the girls sleeping in the tent to name one. No directional lighting and very shallow DOF on the girls eyes and lips would make it the perfect candidate. My question is what camera would they have used?

Jeffry Abt Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share #4 Â Posted October 19, 2011 "My question is what camera would they have used?" Me too... a high end video camera with a custom M-mount? What ever they used, the cinematography was exceptional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted October 19, 2011 Share #5  Posted October 19, 2011 "Arri Media in London supplied Küchler with two other lenses, an f/0.95 50mm Leica Noctilux and a custom-built 25mm Zeiss prime lens that had its front element reversed.  “The Noctilux is the most beautiful lens I have ever used, and I wish there were a whole set of lenses made from the same glass,” says the cinematographer. “It does magic to flesh tones. We used it for Hanna’s flashback of her mother [played by Vicki Kreips], a scene we shot in the absolute last light of day.  It was so dark I didn’t even bother to take a light reading, but I felt optimistic that something beautiful would come of it because of the Noctilux. Vicki was standing at a frozen lake, and we lit her with an LED ring light that we dimmed down during the shot. She just fades into the background like a distant memory.”  I was wrong about the scene but you were right about the Noctilux. Now that the cinematographer mentions that scene I can picture in my mind how he implemented it. Seem like they simply had a adapter for the Noctilux that allowed it to be fitted to an Arri.   The article can be read here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
