      Sir Deakins,

      One of my favorite scenes in Blade Runner 2049 is when Officer K walks through the garden of erotic statues. I read in an article that you used orange Tiffen filters on the set for this. What benefit did the filter have over simply grading it orange later in the DI? Looking forward to your response!

        I don’t like to do an overall color correction in the DI. I had a series of Maxi Brutes with yellow gel on them but the much larger array of Spacelites were clean. To gel thos lamps would have been expensive so I had the orange filter made specifically so that I would achieve the color combination  I was after in camera.
