Ski site promo with M2

[DM_rider]

I threw together a little promo for an up and coming ski site.

yes, I realize there is some flickering. Either my battery was low or the redrock didn't like the 1/120 shutter. I didn't notice it when shooting.

So sick! Im going to get a 35mm adapter as soon as I get enough money (which means this summer) But good work man! Very very clean stuff!

And I actually like the flicker you got there, looks more like film to me. Or atleast thats how the film comes out on my old super 8 camera.

ya, I guess it worked out for the whole style of the piece.

Shooting rails is a blast. Nice tempo and CC.

MIDWEST!

Awesome footage! What lenses did you use?

 

[DM_rider]

Nikon zoom 28-85mm f3.5

I was shooting at f5.6 on the lens and around 5.6 on the camera.

I had only see faster nikon primes until now (f1.4, f2.4) but surely this is a great option for well lit scenes.
Thanks for the feedback.

Highlights flickering like this generally means your gg is spinning off axis.

I don't think that's it. I was shooting with it the day before and everything was fine. I'm almost positive it's the battery.

With the low battery, the rotating mirror loses momentum and ends up spinning off axis.
