*OFFICIAL* general cinematography conversation thread

cool stoner film. ha. i would have utilized the typo in motion more, made it the motif. and used more of the abstract framing that was pretty prevalent in the latter part of the video. some of those dudes were too hard on the eyes.

which plugin did you use for the faux slowmo?

rodi · 12-02-2011, 11:17 PM

little teaser for my short film.

Hmm... Why does your song sound so familiar?

Posted this in its own thread a while back. Filmed with 7D + 14mm f/2.8L on stabilizer, and 5D2 + 24-70mm f/2.8L on slider.

well that's what the teaser tells me. I guess you could say it's a film about a hooker who has established herself at a high-class bar.

It's a great piece of equipment. You'll really notice the difference in terms of production value once you start implementing it into shots in your videos.

That was a sweet video, one question I had though is for those down low arc shots of the wheels, are you using a steadicam of some sort? and if so, do you have it standing right side up? or did you flip the camera and make it top heavy so it would be upside down, then flip the footage right side up in post?

i bought an indislider pro a couple years ago. literally threw it in the trash. :\

M_Six · 12-03-2011, 11:30 PM

Speaking of trashing new toys, did you end up keeping the Roki 35mm f1.4? I was looking through the lens example thread on POTN and I was disappointed with the octagonal lights in the bokeh from that lens.

still have it. shot this with it, or the makeup artist shot it. :\

M_Six · 12-04-2011, 12:05 AM

Your makeup artist needs lessons on proper subject focus.

No offense.

rodi · 12-04-2011, 12:17 AM
