- "Cinematographer John Mathieson's work on Ridley Scott's film Gladiator is discussed. Convincingly re-creating the grandeur of ancient Rome, the film focuses on General Maximus, who is asked to succeed dying ruler Emperor Marcus Aurelius, but is subsequently enslaved and forced into gladiator training where he must survive a number of savage bouts while plotting his revenge. Saving valuable setup time by using fewer lights, Mathieson opted to use the Super 35 format, shooting on Panavision Platinum and GII cameras, Arri IIIs, and an Aaton XTR using Kodak Vision 200T 5274 and (EXR 50D) 5245 stocks. The large arsenal of up to seven cameras, allowed Mathieson and Scott to operate periodically, along with A-camera operator Peter Taylor and Steadicam operator Klemens Becker. The battle scenes were filmed at various frame rates and with a 45-degree shutter--a technique that helped to make the combatants seem more aggressive and to reveal clear sword movements through the air."

- "In an interview, director Ridley Scott discusses his film Gladiator. After establishing deep roots in television and commercial production design during the 1960s, Scott developed into a truly inventive stylist. He does not simply direct feature films: He is a creator of cinematic worlds that all bear his indelible aesthetic imprint and benefit from his keen photographic instincts. Topics discussed include how the project of filming Gladiator came together, what led him to select Mathieson as its cinematographer and the skills Mathieson brought to the film, the visual influences on the film, his extensive interactions with production designer Arthur Max during preproduction, the decision to shoot in Super 35 with spherical lenses, and the logistical difficulties of filming the large battle scenes."

- "Production designer Arthur Max discusses his work on Ridley Scott's film Gladiator. The design team and Max--a veteran of theater and music videos, who had worked on Scott's film G.I. Jane--had the task of constructing ancient Rome in just a few months. Scott and Max turned for inspiration to 19th-century French and British Romantic painters, many of whom had produced fanciful renditions of Rome in its heyday. Max's three art directors--David Allday, John King, and Benji Fernandez were dispatched to each of the film's principal locations: England, Malta, and Morocco. Ancient Rome was raised within the remnants of British fortifications on Malta, complete with an imperial palace and a part-built Colosseum: A huge, J-shaped, 75-ft-high section of its first tier and some fragmentary elements were built. The visual effects team later "raised" the building to its full height and added the 55,000 people held by the original Colosseum." [Art Index]

- "Ridley Scott's Gladiator, which is set in Ancient Rome, is a production filled with genuine respect for its setting and subject. The film features an epic Colosseum, which is reconstructed with the aid of computer graphics, and has 10,000 costumes and 2,500 ancient weapons on display. It also lingers on small cultural details, excels at the portrayal of the grandeur of antiquity, and differs from old movies about Rome insofar as it does not have any reference to Christianity."

- "Scenes in Ridley Scott's Gladiator show a stylized version of Rome A.D. 180. Although visually impressive, the city in the film is sprawling and out of scale. Production designer Arthur Max has manipulated the proportions of base, column, and pediment orders to create the effect of skyscraper-like buildings throughout the city. Rome also appears gray and treeless, unlike the actual cypress-and villa-dotted Palatine." [Art Index]
