Thanks to my friends at Adcom, using the Sony FX5, I was able to do a brief comparison between the DZO Arcana, Arles (not all focal lengths, unfortunately), and Thypooch Simera C. These lens sets, all from the same manufacturer (DZOFILM) even though they differ from one another, are all ones I...

Thanks to Sony Italy, I had the opportunity to put the new FX5 through its paces on a real project I’m currently working on.I shot everything in X-OCN LT 5K open gate, using spherical lenses.The FX5’s sensor is truly wonderful, and I believe its performance sets a new benchmark for cameras of...

An abandoned monastery in northern Italy, founded in the 13th century. My country is full of these ruined gems. There should be a collective awareness aimed at restoring and protecting these important historical and artistic treasures, but so be it... Camera: Sony A1 IILenses: Sony GM...

Thypoch Simera C primes are the perfect balance of quality, character, weight, size and cost. I used my brand new Sony A1 II, in combination with Atomos Ninja Ultra, to get the highest quality possible (ProRes Raw HQ recording). The files are wonderful a they can be equated with those of...

A new episode of "Reviews in my own way", for the first time in English. My Sony A1 at work, coupled with "new" Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses. https://youtu.be/-0OQl82BSDM

Now, more than ever, we need beauty. "The Complex Flight of Frida" is a project borne out of a collaboration between me (Director/DP), Antonella Albano (Principal Dancer of the Ballet Company of the Teatro alla Scala), Piero Salvatori (Composer and Musician) and Paolo Rossini (Actor). This is...

Here is my last video filmed on S1H + Sumire Prime lenses: https://vimeo.com/379469453

Recently, I had the great opportunity to film for a few hours, with the fabulous Fuji GFX100, in a very charming abandoned prison in Italy. The three-dimensionality of a medium format camera is very attractive. So, this is the result... https://vimeo.com/375244045

Adcom guys asked me to produce a first impressions video with the very new Panasonic Lumix S1. Only one day to test it, as often happens (in those days, I've been involved in two different shootings). The camera I used was a pre-series model, so there was no V-Log and no 10bit on-board...

Last summer. Two very hot days spent to capture genuine emotions. Two days filming people through the streets of Genova while they are listening to Violin Concerto No.4 in D Minor, MS. 60 - 2, Adagio flebile con sentimento, composed by Niccolò Paganini. This video is part of Paganini Rockstar...

This is a super quick test filmed on the very new Sony Venice, in a few hours. I didn't use background music, so choose the one you like. Unfortunately I don't have PL mount lenses and the E-Mount, at the moment, it's not working (next firmware upgrade on Aug. 2018), so I haven't the chance to...

The house of Ettore Guatelli is not just a museum in the classical sense of the word. It is a sensory journey inside the mind of its creator. The attentive visitor will not fail to notice the curtain placed at the entrance, made out of bottle caps that form a star, clearly visible only when...

I had the privilege of being the first film maker anywhere in the world to work with EVA1. There has been a lot of talk about the camera since the launch at Cinegear earlier this year and that often leads to disappointment when the camera doesn’t perform as well as you expect it to. The camera...

I was lucky enough to test, for one day only in my hometown and its surroundings, the very new Sigma Cine Zoom lenses with my fantastic new VariCam LT. The purpose of the test is to check the color science of the VariCam LT (IMHO it's amazing)and how it works with these two very nice, very well...

The FS5 with the Raw upgrade, IMO, is one of the best cameras ever (for sure, the best value for money): cheap, small, lightweight, modular, powerful.Great for run and gun and, with the Raw upgrade, it turns into a real monster. Someone should look at this and start shaking in their boots ^_^The...

Ettore's house is a delicate and perfect world made of shapes. I can't see this place as a classical, real museum. In general, artists, with their works, show us windows to their souls. But here there is more: it's a journey inside an alive and pulsing brain; a body in perfect homeostasis. Here...

What happens when the fantastic Prime Circle 100 Makro meets the new Sony A7S2? Here are some frame grabs from UHD footage: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77787043@N05/sets/72157660623011907/with/22746719659/

I made a short but significant test between FS7, A7R2 and A7S2. I set the same parameters for all cameras: S-Log 2, native ISO, detail at 0, S-Gamut, etc. FS7 and A7R2 in Super 35, A7S2 in FF. I used the Atomos Shogun external recorder (ProRes HQ UHD) for all cameras. Three different...

Very, very interesting (I think)... I compared my FS7 with my A7R II. I used the Shogun external recorder in UHD ProRes HQ + Prime Circle 25 mm f/2.0 lens at f/5.6. Same conditions for both cameras (A7R II cropped in Super 35). Obviously, the FS7 output is 10bit, while the A7R II output is...
