Wong Kar Wei Look

[nightfly]

Just wondering if anyone has an ideas on producing a Wong Kar Wei type of look with film. In the Mood For Love and 2046 both have this amazing look to them, sorta like over saturated cross processed film but I'm not sure if that's quite it. Any ideas?

I also love the look of 2046 and In the mood for love! But I have no idea how Christopher Doyle, the cinematographer, got the look. Specific filter/emulsion combination?

in the fujifilm website they have a list of movies done with their films, have a look their, maybe kodak does the same 😉

Actually IMDB actually tells you the film stock:

Fuji Super F 250T (2046)
Kodak Vision 500T (In the Mood for Love)
Kodak Vision 800T (In the Mood for Love)

Doesn't really help me much since I'm not sure if they make still film equivalents but still interesting.

All you need is a set of nice anamorphic lenses, a truck load of lights, dedicated crew, good location scouts, a handful of actors with costumes et voila ;D When Doyle was shooting in PL he had a 20x0.33l beers per day in his contract. When I popped in on the set I could see that he was executing his contract to the last drop 😀

The film never made it to theaters.

Which one? 2046? I remember that it was shown in our big Multiplex-Cinema.

Well, besides matching lighting and color scheme (almost monochrome) make sure you make your highlights yellow and not white in PP. Small but important detail.
Kodak is probably a good choice for their films seems to be naturally warmer.

It also reminds me a bit of cross processed film (E6 processed as C41).
