A very well-shot (with 35mm adapter) feature story

[kyotonils]

If you are familiar with the long-running This American Life radio show on NPR, this is from the TV version, a story about stand-up comics called "No Respect."

Totally refreshing to see some terrific adapter work married to an interesting story.

That had a really good look to it. Also, very funny.

Which adapter and camera?

 

[kyotonils]

I have no idea, I just posted it because it seemed to be shot with an adapter and very well at that.

 

[Drew Ott]

I don't think it's safe to assume that it was shot with an adapter just because it has shallow DoF.

I venture if was an adapter -a Letus/HVX combo, or Zoomed in adapterless for shallow DOF

doesn't look like an adapter to me. Looks like regular hvx. and bits zoomed in for apparent shallow depth of field. You can generally tel by the bokeh. So either the Sgpro, or no adapter. But my guess would be none since it's probably very low light in that space.

theres no adapter on that. straight camera zoomed in, the footage would be softer on the wide shots.

Is this all natural lighting? If so, I'm selling my lighting gear.

Could somebody tell me how they get such good looking video onto YouTube? What conversions and web video formats did they upload to get such great image quality? I tried uploeading videos on You Tube but could never get this sort of result.
