Some clips from a short I've just completed--comments and criticism welcome! |
I am totally impressed by the quality of the lighting and your image. Give us the low down on your technique!

Hi Keith,
We used the xl1s with the 35mm adapter--with 7 Zeiss prime lenses. The entire short was shot in a studio--I built the set myself--and we had Northern Lighting and Power out of Chicago, to do the lighting. I wish I could give you the details on the lights we used--my DP took care of all that! We used "bouncers" and sheets of paper, all sorts of strange things :) It was my first project--sorry I can't be more desctriptive! |
Which adaptor? Do you mean the Mini?
Good f'n set, man. Totally made it. The lighting through the window - very nice. |
Yeah, that looked very good. The DOF was nuts, heh.
Whats the entire short going to be about though? Is it all just them 2 in the room or something? |
Yup, it's a 20 minute short--just the two of them in the room. Here's the screenplay, if you're interested in hearing what goes on--

Very impressive, indeed. My hats off to all involved. Congrats and good luck.
|
Tell your DP he did a very nice job on lighting and shooting it.

Are we talking about the mini35 adapter here? The one with
the spinning ground-glass? |
Sorry to get off topic here...but this is really getting irritating. Lately, I'm not able to see the video on any WMV files. I can only hear the audio. Anyone have any suggestions about what's up?
Sounds like this isn't a must-see...I don't want to miss it. (How I wish this were a Mac/Quicktime world) |

Playing WMV files on a Mac
...Seems to only be possible on OS 9.x with the Windows Media Player. Microsoft has choosen to not support OSX so far.
(And John I agree that QuickTime is a better format - files are smaller and cleaner, even on a PC.) Guess I'll miss this clip just like I've missed "Sex and Lucia". :-( |
funny you mention "Sex and Lucia"--that\'s the "look" we were going for.
The quicktime clips, IMHO, aren\'t even in the same league as windows media series 9 clips. They just don\'t compete--for quality, or size. I have both available to me--and the only reason I would make a quicktime file now, is for someone that can\'t view windows media files. I\'ll see if I can come up with something-- |
I am impressed with the quality of the clip. What WM settings did you use for the output and what NLE did you use My player was set to 200% and it looked great.
