Redrock M2 Adapter & HVX footage

Andrae Palmer · May 23rd, 2007, 06:59 AM

I like this. one. Very tight presentation.. the only problem was that it seemed too dark. Especially on one side of her face when she was speaking.

can you repost your original m2 footage? Looks like you took it down before I got to see it :(

All your others clips have been awesome!

Well done... I am guessing the fast motions from top of frame to woman standing against railing was done with undercraking the footage...

Also looks like you used some cinematic color adjustments in the camera (well done.) Did one person shoot edit this project or was it both of you guys?

We did use some undercranked footage...

As far as the project we had a full crew.. director, DP, grip, make up artists...

A set of Nikon Primes were used with the adapter....

Here's another one...

Thanks...

Just a few color corrected elements.. only mixing and low mids and high for the interview.. some of the outdoor stuff was obviously extremely color corrected...

I don't know in your neck of the woods, but a production like that here in Miami should cost no less than $10K. You don't find a lot of those, but you also don't find your kind of filming either.

yes.. we wish we could have brought in a making up artist for b-roll... it was shooting off the hip as we went through the office... i think it does ok though. The interviews were much more thought out...

It does ad a bit of a dramatic feel... I also crushed some of the blacks slightly... thanks for your comments.

I those last two videos for Crowe were excellent - well shot, lit and edited. I'm sure your clients were happy! Keep em coming!

Very inspirational.

There are so many. B&H has new Nikkors for $200 - $300
They are auto focus - but I called and found out you can set focus and f-stop manually. So they should work- yes?
Are they good quality?

Thanks!

Yes, you can set focus and f-stop manually.. you just turn it... my 50 mm can go to 1.8

I just found this thread... Some extrodinary editing and shooting you guys are doing up there in MI.... Did you guys light any of the "off the hip" shots? They look spectacular....
