We chat with Arnold Director of Photography Logan Schneider about his work on the upcoming Netflix 3-part Arnold Schwarzenegger docuseries, and how he captured the right look for such a legendary icon:
Enjoy a look into the life of a legend with Arnold, Netflix’s three-part docuseries about bodybuilder, actor, and governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Directed by Lesley Chilcott, the series utilized archival footage, new interviews, and more to tell the tale of a monumental figure. Arnold endeavors to paint a complete picture of its subject’s storied life and has something to offer for fans of any portion of Schwarzenegger’s many accomplishments, while filling in the gaps between each one.
I was living in Montana after college, working up there and planning on coming to LA, but I got a call, like, "Is there a local camera assistant that can come in and help out on our shoot?" I met them on that shoot and said, "Hey, listen, I love working with you guys. I'll fly down if you need me, anytime. I'd love to work with you again," so they let me come down and work on the next part of that shoot.
You shot interviews, you shot verite, and you kind of recreated scenes from his life. Is there a challenge in making all of that cohesive? We tried to build looks within these eras that we were exploring so that it would be evocative of those moments, but with less of a plastered-on feel than happens a lot. We built those ahead of time, we exposed with those in the camera, and we really tried to shoot it like it was its own film stock and commit to it early. I had a great DIT who helped me build those: Eli Berg, who I've known forever and is one of my favorite people. So, that was another part of this tripod.
And he does that with everything. He's like, "I'm doing emails now, and that's what I'm doing. Then, I'm going to play chess, and then I'm going to go do this interview," or "I'm going to go clean up after the horse and donkey, Whiskey and Lulu." It's how he did his weightlifting; he'd focus on the muscle. He's not listening to music, he's not doing something else, he's lifting that muscle, that moment.
