Markee: You recently shot the independent production Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree, in Cinemascope, a format that had its heyday in the 80s. What prompted you to use it?
Jain: Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree was the first collaboration between [Director] James and I Manika. This project was a low budget, but not want it to look like. Manika is a big believer in shooting the film, like me, but trying convince producers to spend the bulk of the budget was 35 mm to shoot a hard sell. 16 mm seemed to be our only option until I brought the 3-perf 35mm idea to the table. After costs were compared [apparently] the same cost of 16 mm, but with all the qualities of 35mm.
The problem was that there were no cameras 3-perf currently available in Mumbai. I was at a post house when someone in the lab said he had heard I was looking for a 3-perf camera and had Prasad had one ear. We have them, took them to Mumbai in a test session and were fantastic. The image gave us everything we had hoped and Kalpvriksh – The Tree of Wishes became the first film to shoot 3-perf in India for some time.
Markee: Have you had a learning curve?
Jain: He does not forgive negative size. What you see in the picture is exactly what is photographed on the negative, no more, no less – that there is' room for maneuver "at all. With 3-perf, a hair in the door is a very big business.
Manika and made me a lot of preparation, but still still had a tight schedule: 55 days of filming and two days in pads. We use all the tools we could and called all the friends and favor for obtain the best film we could. One of the interesting tools we had was an arm of Jimmy, "The BMW of cranes." This unit has allowed us to get a crane arm, wrist and all in one. It helped us keep costs down rental and allowed us to easily follow the live camera, even when moves quickly.
Markee: Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree is an old tree. Is it lends itself particularly well Cinemascope to that content?
Jain: Yes, I think he did. The film has a lot of busy environments and deep conversations with many details a smaller format that we do not have the depth and detail we wanted. Manika and I had always wanted to shoot the film in a 2.35:1 ratio to give a classic look Cinemascope, Cinemascope format and excellent result for her. The framework allows widescreen image shows layered environments of each character is surrounded by. Also moved the camera a lot to give the film a good pace. Shooting of 35 mm also allowed us to quickly and efficiently roll: No need to worry about monitors high definition, crop stresses, or ND'ing windows. In a low-budget film time is something I never have enough.
Markee: Did you have to use special film material?
Jain: No, the population is no different. Kodak chose 50D, by our scenes day to get a very classic, colors and high contrast of the image. For the interior was used Kodak 500T, a high-speed action with great variety and sharp detail. Both actions have a very classic and natural look, which definitely were trying to achieve.
Markee: You seem to have unleashed a new wave of production from Kalpvriksh Cinemascope – The Wishing Tree involved.
Jain: On the time completing principal photography was ready Aaton with his new camera body Penelope for 3-perf, and ARRI called to tell me that they could now change any their Arricam or camera movements to handle 535 3-perf.
There's been lots of rumors. The cameramen want alternatives to the cost of 35 mm and limitations digital technology. Cinemascope is a great alternative for movies looking to shoot 35 mm, but need a cost effective option to bring the producers. Although I'm shooting my first feature RED, returning to zero in Nairobi and the next is a 3D action film in Dubai, I have really wanted to shoot again Cinemascope.
