When Favreau spoke to AC, he was looking forward to the DI. “On any film, you have very lofty expectations when you set out, and then the concerns become more pragmatic because you’re just trying to finish the job,” says the director. “It’s nice for the last people who touch the film to be your color timer and your cinematographer, because they can bring a little bit of perspective from not being as closely involved in every step of postproduction. When you get to the DI and can sit down with the cinematographer in that dark room, it’s your film together again.”
