The great cinematographer Caleb Deschanel talks about heightened reality and working digitally and in 3-D on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter in my latest TOH/Indiewire column.
“I thought it was a historical drama — little did I know,” the cinematographer jokes. “The title itself is so fascinating and there’s something really intriguing about the idea of it. As soon as it becomes a vampire movie, it’s doing a whole different kind of movie — it’s Jekyll and Hyde, you know? But I think it’s not all that different from Greek dramas and tragedies because it’s an alternate world of vampires taking over the role of the gods.”
