SHORT: Definitely not a RODE Advertisement

I entered the MyRodeReel contest with a short (somewhat dry humor) comedy:http://www.rode.com/myrodereel/watch/entry/2552
I shot it with a GH4+Voigtlander 17.5mm on a Beholder DS1 gimbal all in one long take. Settings used was Portrait on Contrast: +2, Saturation -4, and Hue -1. I know I should probably get into using Leeming LUT. Maybe one day!

The lighting definitely could have been better I felt. I originally wanted to set up my Aputure LED panels on stands to light up each individual scene, but I didn't have enough (I only had 2: one H672s with a softbox and an H198). So what I ended up doing was just using an Aputure H198 (as well as an extra cold shoe mount to attach the Videomic Pro) attached to a cheap "spider steady" foldable shoulder rig. And then of course the gimbal was put on the shoulder rig.

The video can be watched here:

And the behind the scenes video here:
 
yeah man, fun idea, could've been better lit and better executed but you or the actor was funny and interesting enough to keep me watching. Over the final title maybe you could've added something tragic happening to the actor or some kind of button to the scene. just you leaving wasn't enough for me. maybe you didn't have permission to be in the studio (hence why you're using a camera light) and the owner discovers you using his rode products etc. someway to incorporate the all the microphones and how weird the actor was being.
 
I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. But I think I actually did what you're suggesting me to do.

It was explained in the behind the scenes video if you didn't get the story, but it's essentially what you said. We were criminals and didn't have permission to be in the studio were caught by the police while we were walking through the studio of Rode products.
