A drama set in France during the early parts of the German occupation when they began rounding up Jews, artists, musicians, gypsies and other "undesirables."
The director got into a bind when her scheduled photographer failed to show for the last dress rehearsal and less than an hour before the rehearsal asked if I could fill in. She had some old stills taken from faded 8mm film clips that looked as if they had been hand-tinted of that era taken by her grandmother who survived the holocaust and asked if I could reproduce these in that style. The ones she had were badly faded but I gave it a try anyway. I am hoping I gave it its due, perhaps even a touch of period noir.
For anyone who shoots theater or other stage productions, you know the lighting is at best poor. Most of these were shot between ISO 6400 and 10,000 with either a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 or a Tokina 17-35 f/4. No flash was used. Not my cuppa tea.
There are 34 shots but I'll only deluge you with 14. (I did have to clone in parts of the old Jew's bears because it kept falling off - Not the best clone job but usable in a pinch. From shooting Thursday night to the 34 produced I was given a window of noon on Friday so the programs could be printed in time for the show.) Just noticed #12 & 13 are out of order.
