My wife and I have been working in Wellington, New Zealand for the last two months (shooting and cutting behind the scenes for a movie) and finally got a weekend to go explore. We drove onto a ferry to the south island and made our way along its northern coast to Golden Bay. I brought my EVA1 & Gratical Eye with me. Sadly, I couldn't shoot some of the amazing hikes we went on due to heavy rain, but got some good stuff nonetheless.

Most of this is DCI 2K in 10-bit 422 All-I at 120fps. At least two clips are scaled down from DCI 4K at 23.976. Lenses were my Contax Zeiss 35mm & 85mm. Both modded with a 2x oval fixed aperture for a faux anamorphic look. Everything was composed for 2.39:1. Graded in DaVinci. Couldn’t spend as much time on it as I wanted to because of work. Might revisit when I have more time. Sweet as.

Nice work, beautifull country, I realized it is winter there. But why shot in 120 fps?

I didn't cut it as a 120p piece. It's 23.976fps with (mostly) high frame rate (120fps) clips. I knew I'd be in bright conditions and thought it would be a good opportunity to get clean super slow motion footage.
 
Gorgeous imagery, thanks for sharing!

(Also, I accidentally marked your post as "unhelpful." Please disregard! Damn phone! )
 
Very nice piece. My wife and I spent a few weeks driving around NZ, first circling Southland including penguins on the southern coast, took the ferry to Wellington, and worked our way to Auckland. Its a beautiful country.
