This speculative short excerpt from a feature script is designed to evoke the feeling of Flash Gordon serials and 1950's low-budget sci-fi.
 

cine:

Director, Tim Caswell, designed and built a set with an eye to manipulating the image in post.  With input from me he added surrounding light panels to provide a means to light the set from "practicals."  Careful blocking and continuous tuning with scrims and nets further refined the practical keys.  Every close-up involved additional modeling and hair lights for talent.

Post-pro grading and manipulation further refined the image to achieve the director's desired look.
