This is a short documentary I've made with a pair of GH2s and the Flow motion 2.02 hack. It is about a guy here in Stockholm who is called "The Magnetist" because he is obsessed with cassette tapes.
I used a pair of GH2s and Voigtlander 25mm and SLR Magic 12mm, a cheap chinese 35mm cctv lens and a Konica Hexanon 135mm vintage lens in two shots. I also converted the files with 5D2RGB
to get rid of the diagonal rain pattern in Premiere.




"THE MAGNETIST is a short documentary about Micke, also known as 'The Magnetist', whose life revolves around cassette tapes.
Most of Micke's time is spent on varius tape-related projects; he blogs about them, he makes music with them and he got a monthly tape club in his hometown Stockholm.
Sometimes it's a struggle. Here we get an insight to Micke's life as a tapeologist and joins him to his tape-only club to find out the motivation behind his interest."

I liked when the sound guy puts the magnet in the box of tapes. Was he not paying attention when you shot the sequence about de-magnetizing tapes?! Or is he smarter than he looks and put it on purpose?
