It was an absolute pleasure to get the opportunity to gaffer the black and white section of Michelle Williams Gamaker's Film about Merle Oberon "Strange Evidence" over a week in June last year. Working with the Excellent DOP Tom Wright, we used purely tungsten lighting, mostly fresnels diffused and then flagged and cut to fulfill the brief to fully recreate the lighting used in Merle Oberons films of the 1930s and 1940s. Tom and myself also used a Tungsten Fresnel to recreate the famous Obie Light created By Lucian Ballard to accentuate Merle Oberon's eyes and face. The whole crew were lovely, and It was truly brilliant to get a chance to work with Michelle again on this Important piece of work. Strange Evidence is now showing in the MAC Art Centre in Belfast, and will be returning to London later this year.
