Peaky Blinders!

[James B.]

All I can find out about this new series on IMDB is the cinematographer, George Steel. Can anyone share more information? Camera? Colorist? Post house and effects chain? Some really ambitious cinematography ...well worth watching and the role of a lifetime for Cillian Murphy

Looks like Alexa to me. Also, it's graded in Davinci.

Yes - it's shot on Alexa.

A great series, and it's been commissioned for a series 2. I hope it's given room to breath and grow.

Currently watching Ripper Street series 2 on the Beeb, again, shot on Alexa. It looks great - but I'm growing tired of the look that's being used in Brit drama at the moment... there are a coupe of ways the footage goes 'edgy/modern' Alexa hues or 'Olde Worlde/history' Alexa look (typified by Peaky or Ripper).

If you want to see some Red Epic camera stuff, check out the UK series 'Utopia' (aired on Channel 4 earlier this year). Some really nice work and great use of Hawk Anamorphics and Super speeds.

Thanks! Yes although I LOVE the cinematography not a fan of the grading for PB. Looks like the blacks are washed out and guessing that digital grain was added

My Cooke SER 2/3 panchros are shooting the the new Utopia.

Interesting

Are they still using Ana too?

Hope they stay on the Epic, as I enjoyed the non Alexa look of this series.

 

[Robert Horwell]

Hi Andy, Not sure about the Ana. If they are i didn't supply them.

 

[Alex Veitch]

Hi James. I assisted on some second unit on this - it was Alexa, and from memory was Cooke S4 primes. I think main unit was using the same. I'm afraid I don't know who did any of the post. All best, Alex

Yes, the 18mm was put to good use wasn't it! The series looked lovely.

Utopia is the best looking tv show i have ever seen! Color Grading is at best

 

[Andy White]

Utopia series two looked great too - only a few shots (here and there) suffered the purple otb problem... (series 1 was Epic and series 2 was Epic Dragon) but it sort of matched the show's aesthetic anyway

A real shame that a UK series 3 won't be commissioned.

 

[Keegan@Netflix]

Watched season 2 last night. Great series.

 

[Erick von Schulz]

I personally love the look of Peaky. I like it much better then Boardwalk Empire. The look that is. I think the style adds to the story.

I think it is as stylised as the story. Absolutely stunning! But Boardwalk is much more naturalistic/realsitic w.e and it fits the story too.

 

[Nick Morrison]

Looked it up.

Alexa + Primos + Black Frost.

This show looks INSANE. Love it!

 

[George A.]

Hi Nick,

Where can I find the info on the Black Frost filters being used on this show?

Thanks!!

Black Frost is from Schneider. It's their version of Black Promist, and what Schenider adds to Classic Soft to create Hollywood Black Magic. It's a black "mist".

Vikings uses similar filtration, though can't remember if they go Schneider or Tiffen with their black particles.

Hey Nick! Vikings uses Tiffen Black Satin 1's. Such a great look!
