Cinematographer Lyle Vincent had a great advantage in shooting writer/director Cory Finley’s “Thoroughbreds”: The primary location was a beautiful ’20s-era mansion outside Boston. It’s not often that a single location can supply different looks and settings, and with natural light.
“It was nice because we were there for so long — most of our shoot — so we had flexibility and could plan around the sun,” said Vincent. “I didn’t want to be too precious, or picky, and kind of letting things be natural, rather than adding a ton of light.”
For the film’s interior scenes, natural light that poured in through tall windows served as the primary light source; Vincent let the time of day reflect the mood. Recent advances in Led lighting technology made this minimal approach easier. While Vincent used Arri Sky Panels (s30 and s60) in his commercial work, he’d never used them on a feature.
