CinematographerJeff Cronenwethtalks toIndiewireabout working onThe Social Network: “He takes his time with the digital master. He’s a painter. He takes time to analyze the frame. You can stop the frame and make a diversity of color and density choices, use power windows to isolate parts of the frame.” You still have to get the right exposure to start with, Cronenweth reminds: “An HD Cam doesn’t change those principles. It takes all the same effort.” And shooting in the dark is always an aesthetic risk, he says: “Low levels of light is not safe photography. But it serves the story really well.”

Ian McKellenwas originally supposed to start filmingThe Hobbiton February 21st 2011, andblogged about it: “I hadn’t intended last Thursday to arrive in Wellington for The Hobbit filming, five weeks early. Yet, what’s new? Just a year ago I had expected to start shooting in July 2010, with Guillermo del Toro in charge… A year on, filming was to start at the end of February 2011.
