HVX & Brevis Feature

[Beat Takeshi]

EDIT::Fixed the screenshots with ones from the actual time line instead of the DVD grabs. These look much better.

Here are some screenies from a feature shot on the HVX and Brevis35 shot in SD on tape. Johnny Tsang was DP and I was Lighting Designer. Directed by William Lappe. I got lucky and they gave me full control over lighting.
There are more screenies here---> http://www.puffinfilms.com/BottomFeeder/Screenshots2/

out of curiosity...why SD?

 

[Beat Takeshi]

I have no idea. I didn't ask and when the subject came up I stayed out of it.
Using this old post for more screenies.

Looks great, love the cast

Thanks. I'm proud of it. I landed this gig from the lighting job I did for Mark Harris' "Katrina". http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=80006

This is like a 2+ hour movie but these were the only scenes I was able to pick up over the weekend. I came in on this gig half way through shooting because the other lighting designer had to go or something. I wish I would have lit the whole thing, I hated that the gig ended because everyone got along so well but we are getting together to enter that Assassin Creed contest for IFC.

Double check that backfocus. its doing disservice to your lights mang....

PS i just got your message., if youre driving down to FLA, you can swing my my palce in the morning i'll give you the tripod.

I didn't have anything to do with the camera this time but also I took these grabs off a DVD using powerDVD and the pause button so I couldn't sit there and grab a perfect frame like I usually would in an NLE.

To answer the SD question, it was a matter of shooting time and no P2 cards.

I think you should have shot this too, Aram. Looks VERY "adapter-y." And shooting on tape?????

What was your lighting package?

 

[TimurCivan]

yea that dp kinda isnt familiar with the setup. he shouullda been testing that rig to death before you guys started. if i were producing, i would consider that image performance unacceptable. you should have a "talk" with the dp.

 

[FilmBoy77]

Thanks.
Yup yup. Thats him.
