I'm currently filming in the UK for a Channel 4 documentary called "The Life OF Rhyme" - it's an hour long doc celebrating UK MC's and MC culture. Produced by Jamie D'Cruz, who brought you "Exit Through The Gift Shop" and "One Born Every Minute", this is an awesome project to be working on and i'm very proud to be DOP on it.
We're filming the whole darn thing on the quite simply incredible Redrock M3, and i'm totally blown away with it! Having spent most of the last 2 years shooting 5D / 7D, it's amazing to get my hands back on a real video camera again, yet be able to keep that cinematic look that i now wouldn't do without - and that's exactly what the M3 is all about in my opinion! Of all the DOF adaptors i've used in the past, the M3 is by far the best - period. I've been using it with LiveLens mount for Canon EF lenses, and the results i've had are awesome! I've always loved the EF lenses anyway, and it's great to see they work so well with this set up. The clarity and sharpness is next level, and the DOF is stunning. I wasn't surprised at the M3's performance at all to be honest - i knew it would be good because of the reviews! But the general build and ease of use did surprise me. You can just tell it's top quality, and i love that in my gear. I've felt nervous in the past with other adaptors - that spinning parts might brake or back focus may slip, but with the M3 i've not thought twice about it! I just set it spinning and concentrate on the job in hand!
Anyway, i'm going to post some really nice raw footage when i get a break from the doc, and post it for y'all to see. In the mean time, i spent a whopping 30 seconds the other day during a break to film at least something for you to see in the meantime!

If you don't know about the M3, i hope this was useful. Literally can't recommend it enough!
