Shooting Syriana

DP Robert Elswit talks about the shooting behind "Syriana" and "Good Night, and Good Luck." Very interesting article, check it out. What struck me though was what he said about the shooting in Punch Drunk Love: "The color design for the movie became a white background for all the costumes of the principal characters— for Adam Sandler’s electric-blue suits and for Emily Watson’s beautiful off-color gowns in ochres, yellow and pale greens. We painted every single wall in that movie white. Every single space, every interior and exterior. And there are no saturated colors except the clothes the characters wear." That goes against everything people usually do in movies, add wallpaper, color the walls because white backgrounds are harsh. Never noticed that in my previous viewings of the movie, it does work thinking about it.
