Set 64 years before the original “Hunger Games” film, “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” re-teams director Francis Lawrence and cinematographer Jo Willems, who have collaborated on all but the first of the series.
DP Willems used ARRI ALEXA Mini LF cameras, Signature lenses, and the HEXATRON crane vehicle on the fifth “Hunger Games” film, serviced by ARRI Rental.
Interviewed by ARRI, Willems speaks about shooting in large format and the importance of lighting for the aesthetics of this film.
