The Warner Bros film was directed by Jon M. Chu (Now You See Me 2, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and features an all Asian cast, including Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong, Michelle Yeoh, and many others. It is the first Hollywood studio film to feature Asians in leading roles since director Wayne Wang's 1993 film, The Joy Luck Club.  \nThe film was shot by cinematographer Vanja Černjul, ASC, HFC (The Perfection, The Deuce, Marco Polo) with VariCam Pure cinema cameras. Černjul discovered cinematography at film school at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. After graduation, he became a cameraman for theBBC, CNN, and NBC during the conflict in ex-Yugoslavia.“There was no internet available to us in 1991, so we had to distribute all the footage from the location to the networks via a satellite link, which was very expensive,” explains Černjul.“There was also a great time pressure because it didn't matter how amazing your footage was if it wasn't delivered before deadline. That taught me a lot about incamera editing and shooting under various conditions, always utilising available light.”  \n\"I felt comfortable mixing different ISO settings from within that range even inside a single scene. It was liberating not being held hostage by light levels from practical sources.”  \nIt was Černjul's experience working in South East Asia where he had shot two seasons of the Netflix series Marco Polo that played a role in getting Crazy Rich Asians. During the Marco Polo shoot, he met producer Tim Coddington who got involved with Crazy Rich Asians right after production wrapped.“I fell in love with that part of the world and was looking forward to going back,” says Černjul.“Tim connected me with director Jon Chu,” explains Černjul,“and I loved Jon's approach to the story.Jon was very passionate about the project and told me he wanted Crazy Rich Asians to be the most beautiful film he ever made. He is a visual director and I was excited by the challenge. It turned out to be one of those rare experiences that were both pleasant and fun to shoot and turned to be a successful film of cultural importance that exceeded everything we hoped for. It was not easy to make but the camaraderie and good vibes inside our very international crew made it enjoyable.”  \nCASE STUDY Capturing Crazy Rich Asians with the VariCam Pure  \nCASE STUDY Capturing Crazy Rich Asians with the VariCam Pure  \nAccording to Černjul, it was essential to capture and heighten the beauty of the locations.“I knew from my previous experience that the weather in that part of Asia dramatically changes throughout the day, especially during the monsoon season,” he explains.“We ended up with 38 locations in 42 shooting days and we had to move around quickly with a large cast, who had to look their best and were dressed in amazing costumes all the time. You can imagine that the heat, humidity, and daily storms weren't going to be helpful.
