![]() The film is the fifth installment in the Predator film series, serving as a shake-up for the franchise, as it focuses on a time. The film stars Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Michelle Thrush, and Dane DiLiegro, the latter of whom plays the Feral Predator. That and her self-invented elasticated axe device – think a murderous version of paddle ball. Prey is a 2022 Action Horror film directed by Dan Trachtenberg ( 10 Cloverfield Lane ). But ingrained sexism works in her favour: the assumption that as a woman she’s not a credible threat turns out to be her secret weapon. The setting is the land of the Comanche nation, 300 years ago the central character is Naru (the formidable Amber Midthunder), a warrior and expert tracker whose skills have been honed by a lifetime of close combat against the forces of the patriarchy. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg ( 10 Cloverfield Lane), it’s a prequel to the Predator series that stays true to the essence of the original – stylishly violent, stickily graphic, impossibly tense – while also working satisfyingly as a self-contained entity. So often it’s just a cynical means to squeeze a little more juice out of an already dead and desiccated franchise, or a reboot that paints a layer of self-referential irony over a much-loved original. Hog 4 continues to deliver the functionality I need to make these movies.The word “prequel” makes my heart sink. Using them as console servers and networking in the consoles is the best workflow for me and Hog does it with ease. He adds, "The Rack Hogs are true workhorses. The programmer used “as usual” two Hog 4 consoles, a Roadhog 4 and several Rack Hog 4s and DMX 8000 processors throughout the whole production.īarnes, an IATSE Local 728 member, explains, "Matthew ‘Matty’ Libatique (Director of Photography) shoots at a fast pace, often making changes on the fly, and Hog 4 gives me the ability to deliver what he needs without waiting.” Longtime Hog user Scott Barnes has worked with Bauman for many years through many films. In fact, he’s just purchased some new fixtures, the SolaHyBeam 3000, to use in another current film production along with the SolaFrame Theatre, SolaFrame 3000 and SolaFrame 750. Because color fidelity is so critical in cinema lighting, all of the units from HES were specified with High Fidelity or High CRI engines.Īll of these features make the HES fixtures a hero in Bauman’s book. The SolaFrame 3000’s big muscle is its brightness, and it shares with the SolaFrame Theatre strong features involving color temperature, color correction, reduced power from its LED source and the benefits of being a moving light. ![]() The superhero group is led by actress Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, ex-girlfriend of The Joker.Īscribing similar superpowers to the HES fixtures, Bauman notes that the SolaFrame Theatre’s biggest strength is its fan-less, silent operation.

The fixtures worked on lifts for some large night exteriors, but we also used them throughout most of the stage work. “We built off some of the techniques that we developed on Ford v Ferrari. “There were at least six major sets that we used HES fixtures on,” Bauman explains. The Bauman and Barnes team have worked together for years, and successfully used the same HES equipment for 2019’s award-winning film, Ford v Ferrari. But for Gaffer Mike Bauman and Programmer Scott Barnes, the HES gear supplied its own set of superpowers to the production.īauman deployed SolaFrame Theatre and SolaFrame 3000 LED automated fixtures from his Lux Lighting rental inventory, while Programmer Scott Barnes chose Hog 4 consoles for control.
