Together, Gunn and Braham evolved a dynamic shooting style that they agree wasn’t possible before the creation of RED’s latest camera innovations. “If you can light truthfully, you can move the camera freely no matter how large a setting,” he explains. Likewise, the filmmakers opted to shoot jungle scenes on stages at Pinewood (now Trilith) Studios in Atlanta and beautiful locations in Panama, rather than use virtual production techniques.īraham lit the giant sets to allow Gunn to design shots from any angle. Braham points out that King Shark (voiced by Sylvester Stallone) was created with special effects and prosthetics in keeping with the desire to keep as much in-camera as possible.
