Cinematographers Hermes Marco AEC and Imanol Nabea worked with Cooke S7/i Full Frame Plus and vintage Cooke Speed Panchro S2/S3 sets to bring contrasting scenes to the Netflix sci fi thriller In From The Cold. The series follows a single mother exposed as an ex-Russian spy, who must juggle family life and unique shape-shifting skills in a battle against an insidious enemy. DP Marco also went with a modern Cooke Panchro/i Classic 65mm Macro lens to create a stunning contrast between different cities and time frames.
After a halt in the start of principal photography due to the first lockdown, filming began in Spain in the midst of the pandemic back when access to gear was difficult with productions resuming all around the world. Rental teams found it challenging to put together all the required lenses. But Hermes’ and rental house Welab’s perseverance and contact with Cooke led them to get what was needed.
