TENZING appreciation posts! This one goes out to our mountain safety team led by @cotterguy overall and @hughbarnard on our climbing unit!
This could be another entire behind-the-scenes film of how they pulled off one of the most risky productions of all time from a safety perspective with no accidents!!
what they were up against:
// the entire film crew up to 100 people had to be transported to work on the active glaciers of Aoraki Mt Cook with limited daylight
// fickle weather on the south island of NZ in winter…it can shut down for weeks or turn on you in an instant
// if you get stuck on the glacier even the best tents will flatten…you need to be near a hut at the very least, it’s an unforgiving environment
// the safety team made difficult high stakes weather calls on the daily
// the amount of crevasse management and snow anchors they built to shoot on these active icefalls was insane
// hollywood stunt methods had to merge with light and fast climbing techniques in order to accomplish things quickly in weather windows…they did so much rigging!!
// Especially on our climbing unit our safety team like @hughbarnard and @whereisjamesham also were able to get into wardrobe and act - A secret weapon that allowed us to accomplish more with a small team
// the combined knowledge of these mountains represents hundreds of years of experience!
Thanks for the brief masterclass boys, such huge respect to each of your lifelong dedications to this special landscape and making it possible to tell this story FOR REAL and giving so many of the joy of being out there.

TENZING appreciation posts! Huge respect and admiration for our director of photography @stefanduscio!
This film not only required a high-level artistic eye for cinematography, but a level of endurance that would break most DoPs.
Steph is an athlete and was fearless in his willingness to shoot on exposed faces, in crevasses, hiking to Chomolungma (everest) base camp through snowstorms and also operating the immortal system over the mountain herself higher than any cinema camera (Venice2) of this caliber had ever been shot.
And then, on the rare off days organizing pick up soccer games with the cast crew and locals that would have taken most of us out in and of itself.
Learnt so much in his choice of lenses (ultra-vistas) and visual language for this film which we tried to emulate for second unit with longer controlled moves.
But beyond that, what was also impressive about Steph was his extreme attention to detail when it came to scouting and logistics - the scout lasted months and months all across Nepal and New Zealand and was the ultimate beast of a puzzle. Steph had an uncanny ability to organize incredible images of these locations that would become the master guide to the film and often be the one driving the computer for the many, many meetings sorting out game plans.
On top of that in order to achieve more in these remote locations with a pared-down crew he could not have a drone team. So he worked overtime. and got his New Zealand drone license and operated shots in some pretty hairy conditions by himself.
Steph was the unbreakable DoP and put every ounce of his soul into this film, bringing these beautiful cameras and lenses into places where they have never been before and getting scrappy to ensure that everything was shot for real with no green screens.

“One of the biggest challenges for the shoot was making the audience feel like we were really on Everest. Director Jennifer Peedom and I didn’t want anything to feel fake or composited, and strived to give the film authenticity in emotion and craft.”
Based on the extraordinary true story behind Everest’s first ascent, Tenzing tells the story through the perspective of Tenzing Norgay.
On our website, DP Stefan Duscio ACS explains how it was shot.

Director @jenpeedom and I have known Pemba and Ngawang since we did the SHERPA documentary and the deep connection to Karma Tsering (Pemba’s legendary grandfather) during the @khumbuclimbingcenter early days.
Growing up right below Chomolungma’s (Everest’s) they are part of the next generation of technical members of the Sherpa (Sherpa the ethnicity and not job title) community in this region who have insane climbing talent as well as creative skills behind the camera.
I’ve personally been mentoring them with @sonyalpha full frame cameras and lenses for a decade and on this project they learned the @sonycine Venice2 and so much more under masters @rudy.le @mattaleslie @irving_matthew @lukesebastianthomas @stefanduscio
The way they were able to seamlessly go between the roles above, allowed our unit to accomplish so much since we could be self-contained with actors as part of out crew.
Every time was something scary to do like cross a crevasse, ford a river, climb a wall…the nepali cast always voted for them to do it.
I’m hoping we can make a full BTS vignette film on them, this post is too small of an appreciation for their contributions and stoke!
Thulo (big) respect @pemba_sharwa @ngawang_tenjing - keep living life to the fullest!! Tashi Delek 🙏🏽

“It was one of those jobs that enables you to pull upon so many different skill sets. We're in Nepal, shooting in a monastery, and I was able to light and shoot like a normal production. And then, days later, you're on the side of a mountain, a camera on the shoulder and nothing else, and it's all about physicality and instinct. That's what I love about the job: It's so variable, but it's all story-driven.”
#Cinematographer Stefan Duscio ACS (@stefanduscio) recounts the adventure of making #director Jennifer Peedom (@jenpeedom)’s new feature #Tenzing, which recreates the first successful climb to the summit of Everest.
“Jennifer's background is in documentary; a lot of her work is about the environment and human endeavor. She was so inspiring to work with, and she kept us all on the right track. Jen's documentary work has been in widescreen, and we couldn't deny how much we loved the widescreen format and how much more negative space we got to play with by putting figures on one side of the frame and landscape on the other. I started talking to Mike Carter and Dan Sasaki at #Panavision, as I was finishing Wolf Man in New Zealand on the Ultra Vistas. I was really keen to continue my relationship with that glass. I almost could have shot the whole movie on the 65mm. It's quite a versatile lens. It has a very wide field of view, yet it has beautiful shallow depth of field. It's just the right level of intimacy. I really try to find that sweet spot where it'll render the world truthfully but beautifully.
We shot a lot of Tenzing's early life in Nepal, and all the 1953 climbing sequences in New Zealand. I got a crash course in rappelling down crevasses in New Zealand with a climbing team. Our second-unit director, Renan Ozturk (@renan_ozturk), is a very accomplished mountaineer, filmmaker and climber, and our 12 Sherpa cast, between them, had summited Everest 65 times. So you're surrounded by mountain royalty. I found lifelong friendships with so many of them. It's probably the most emotional film I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. I'm so proud of it.”
