theibcdaily Oscar-winning DP picks Optimo
Thales Angénieux By David Fox
The Oscar-winning
cinematographer Guillermo Navarro is using Angénieux Optimo zoom lenses for his latest project, Pacific Rim. It “is my first digital movie and since the weight of the camera is so light, I can use the 15-40 zoom on the Steadicam, which I am using every day,” he said. “The door has really been opened for me to use the close focusing 15-40 as well as the 28-76 as hand-held or
Steadicam lenses.” Navarro, a multiple award- winner for Pan’s Labyrinth, who also worked on the films I Am Number Four and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, is a long-time user of Angénieux lenses, owning multiple sets. The Optimos, including the 15-40mm, 17- 80mm, 28-76mm and 24-290mm, are his zoom lenses of choice and were used every day while shooting Breaking Dawn-Part 1 and Part 2.
“The Optimos are my first choice in approaching the story I’m telling because
they are such a loyal translator of my vision,” he said. “For me, they are literally the most important pieces of equipment, along with the camera. What I see with my eyes is perfectly translated by the lens and, because of its truthfulness, either the film gets printed with that or, if it’s digital, the media registers very, very accurately what I’m intending to do.” 11.F31
