Second Unit Director Work - Koc University Hospital

Last December, I have been given the opportunity to do pickup shots for Onur Somer's TVC project. I would like to thank him here in this blog for the opportunity he has given me. It was great to be a part of this project as a second unit director and I am very happy with the result!

Wachowski Brothers first film is a film noir inspired by the films of Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock. The film was shot in color although their use of color in set design, costumes, make up and props is so monochromatic that makes the film more black and white than any other film that was shot in the 40's and 50's. As can be seen above, the color black and white were the dominant palettes of the film.
An interview from 1998 can be found here.
I hope to write more about this film in the future because I believe the film's use of color, composition, transcendental style makes it so powerful that one has to study to understand the medium. Wachowski's film noir based on a relationship of a lesbian couple led to reevaluate the film noir style in the 90's.
