Two weeks ago I shot a short documentary about a Turing machine built out of LEGO at CWI, Amsterdam.
It was shot on a Panasonic AF101 using several Nikon Ais primes and the Voigtlander 25mm f0.95.
The slider used was Cinevate's Atlas 10.

Would love to hear what you think of it.

Love it. What a wonderful tribute to the father of modern computers. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude. The title effects, smooth moves and clean shots were all used to good effect. Thanks for sharing.

Very very cool. I immediately had to look up that 0.95, I didn't know such a thing existed! Sad there doesn't seem to be a MFT to EF adapter hah. I have to ask, which shot did you use the 105mm on?

Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate it.

Regarding the question about the 105mm shot. I'm not sure that shot made it into the final version (I should have made notes of which lenses I used for what shots...), but if I remember correctly it was one of the close up shots of the gears at 00:59.
