Hi guys,

Well, the short film 'Ghost' (which I shot on the F35 down in Tasmania last year), has just finished it's festival run and made its way online. So here it is in all its CCD goodiness:

 
Yes looks awesome. So filmic. But it's out already for a year right: https://vimeo.com/179145677

No camera does green like F35. Perfect camera for the forest. What was drone camera? Was this filmed at the real location?

It may have been up on vimeo privately for the past year (as it's done festivals), but it's only just been made available publicly online.

From memory, the drone was a Phantom 3 or Phantom 4. Unfortunately the operator wasn't able to make it down until after the shoot, so we weren't able to grab some of the shots we'd wanted with our actors in them.

William Buckley's story happened around Port Phillip Bay in Victoria. Unfortunately the entire bay is basically developed at this stage, so it wasn't possible to get the sort of untouched wilderness we needed for the film here. So we ventured down to Trial Harbour in Tasmania (which has a resident population of about 14 people). It's basically the most remote point of Tasmania, which is the southernmost point of Australia - It's literally the end of the world. The next stop is Antarctica.

Oh come on, there was an IGA 35 minutes up the road!! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG):Drogar-SunGlass(DBG

One day, I'd love to be involved in one of those Doco's that goes really, really remote -- like into the heart of a jungle in South America.

Promise I'll give you a call if it happens?

And the Amazon? I'm game :)

Beautiful. What sort of lighting package did you use?

Not a lot! We only had suitcase gennies available, so there wasn't much to it. We had two M18 1800w HMIs, one 1.2k Profoto HMI, and two Area48s.

Thank god for T/1.3 on the old Superspeeds! We couldn't have done it without the fast glass (and some very specific time-of-day scheduling).
 
I don't think you needed more, it certainly looks very good! Were you bouncing light or did you have soft boxes on the M18s? I guess you don't have any lighting diagrams?
