the teaser looks really cool.

But the vignetting was distracting. I used to have the same problem when i was using my ifocus, focusing with my hand instead of a follow focus. The vignetting becomes a motion because the hand is constantly putting pressure on the digicams lens mount.
 
thanks, papa. that so-called teaser was culled from camera test footage. I've since added a spacer to the Brevis unit and swapped to a revised ground glass. so no vignetteing in the actual feature... unless I choose to add it in post ;). I'm turning into a bit of a Color junkie.
 
hey Matt, some guys back at the office wanted to know who the camera op was. They were very impressed. So I gave them your name. See you tomorrow.

Zak, I've been trying to get my own character-driven feature film off of the ground for a while now, and you've been a real inspiration, in more ways than one. I sincerely mean that. No bullshit.
 
billy, i'm off to death valley this week to shoot the finale of the film, but after i return, if i can be a resource for you in terms of sharing what we did and how we did it, i'd be more than happy to disseminate a little "ultra low budget filmmaking" information.
