Deakins: I didn’t really get to see much in the way of dailies on either film, just the odd shot. I got three or four shots printed every day, one take, and I’d watch them on an Arri LocPro. On No Country, I set up the LocPro in the boardroom of our hotel, and when I got back in the evening I’d just spin through those few shots from the day before. For the first time, the Coens didn’t watch [film] dailies at all; they watched the scenes in HD. I just couldn’t do that; HD dailies put me off because they look so flat. It was the same with Jesse James. Andrew would sometimes catch up on a few scenes with me, but he mainly watched footage on HD tape.

We understand Emmanuel Lubezki [ASC, AMC] is shooting the Coens’ next film. Are you taking a break from the collaboration, or was it just a scheduling conflict?

Deakins: I was committed to Revolutionary Road, and now I’m heading to Germany to do The Reader. I knew when the boys would be shooting, and I just wanted to work a bit earlier than they were starting. They’re in good hands with Chivo, though. I’m sure they’ll be fine!
