See what real super heroes do. Over 600 patients and 20 operations in four and half days! #realsuperheroes
A family's sense of mission brings desperately needed health and medical aid to Sierra Leone's poorest of the poor.
This film was shot entirely on a Sony A7s II with no lights, tripod or crew, just me as director - DP. For my day job, I work with full size crews and camera packages (Alexa, Red, etc). But this project, took place in the bush of one of the poorest countries on Earth. The entire camera / sound package had to fit in a small back back and never leave my sight. For sound I used a Rode Video Mic Pro for almost everything and a Sennheiser G3 kit for interviews. For glass, I used a Canon 24-105 and a Rokinon 20mm Cine as well as a full set of Tiffen White Water 77mm Filters and BW Polarizer.
Initially, I ran with a Movcam cage and top handle as well with WC handgrips. But after a few hours realizing the paramilitary look on a camera attracted too much attention and undermined my subject's candidness, I stripped it down to just the camera body, metabones E mount adaptor, lens and Rode Mic. It's amazing how a small change in gear, changes people's behavior around you. If I came in with a proper "pro" rig, I would've been mobbed at every turn.
Anyway, enjoy the film.
