Here's a promo video I just shot for a play being performed in March. I might have gone a bit too far with the colored gels on the lights, but I wanted an intentionally stylized color palette based on motel neon (the play takes place in a Mojave Desert motel).


I used an old Nikon 50mm at f1.4 and f2. For the wider shots, I used the Lumix 12-35mm at f2.8. Since this was all shot at 60fps, the shutter was at 125th, so I lost a stop of light. So I shot the wides at 1600 ISO and the 50mm at 400 and 800 ISO.

I got some moire/aliasing on the window frame in the first interior shot. I thinkit's because the 12-35mm is a very sharp lens, and with the red gel on the light, the camera was really only getting one color channel of information.

The opening shot of the motel sign is a composite of two GH3 elements I shot. 1. A still of the motel sign (neon created in After Effects) and 2. a time lapse of the clouds. I'm really disappointed that the GH3's built-in intervalometer doesn't work correctly. You can see the cloud movement is jerky. Check out other threads for more info on this problem.
