<\/p>\nRED has posted up an almost 1 and a half hour long video from Camerimage 2025 where cinematographer Markus F\u00f6rderer ASC, BVK discusses\u00a0\u201cCreating a 70\u2019s Film Aesthetic\u201d for the film September 5.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you are not familiar with September 5, the film follows a crew broadcasting the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis in real-time.<\/p>\n
F\u00f6rderer used\u00a0an old Zoomar zoom from the seventies and tuned Apollo anamorphic lenses to replicate the era\u2019s focus fall-off and bokeh. What was interesting is that he disassembled a lens to add fingerprints and artificial grime to the internal elements, to help create unique textures without having to use heavy diffusion filters.<\/p>\n
To create a tense, confined atmosphere, he avoided traditional window lighting. Instead,\u00a0LED tubes were hidden behind curtains\u00a0to create a pulsating, strobing effect that mimicked the look of old, cheap fluorescent lights.<\/p>\n
The production used an 8K RED V-Raptor camera\u00a0to shoot footage that was then played back on low-res analog TV monitors\u00a0and re-filmed to create an authentic, gritty, archival look. The production tested 35mm and 16mm and compared results to the RED V-RAPTOR, a camera F\u00f6rderer had used to shoot the AppleTV+ sci-fi series Constellation.<\/p>\n
Rather than relying heavily on expensive CG, F\u00f6rderer used\u00a0practical miniatures and prints\u00a0to simulate complex night scenes, which gave the director and actors the ability to see the final look in real-time.<\/p>\n
F\u00f6rderer used custom LUTs and shot at\u00a01600 ASA\u00a0to ensure the\u00a0grain and texture\u00a0were baked into the image rather than having to be added in post-production.<\/p>\n
