Hi there,

some of you maybe have already read about my shooting experiences with the LEX. Interesting no one had any comment on that...

Anyway. Here is the result which I directed and shot:

Thank´s!

AE was used for greenscreen compositing in the window - the city (Frankfurt Downtown), the rain and the flashes are done there.

And - I forgot - some dolly tracks have been removed (when tracking over the desk) from the floor...

really impressed. Where you on a trolley for corridor shots and job for bird's eye view shots?

I used my P+S Skater Mini for the shots on the floor in the corridor.
The rest was shot using a Magnum Dolly and/or a mini jib arm.

You should be proud, it looks like a very large budget production!

The budget was ok - large is relative :-)

it look great very very sharp

i am owner of the letus35fe and shoot with it over 50 projects

i like my letus very much but the light loss is sometime killing me and the problem with bright light or white areas when i see the pattern of the GG

what i saw you did look very good and pro

i am shore the rig look pro to which is important when you work on commercial

i am very interested to read about your exp shooting with LEX?

so you own pl mount for the HS do you own other Monte do you own set of lenses

I´ve posted my experiences on that shooting in the Letusextreme forum:

http://www.letusdirect.com/letus35-extreme/853-shooting-experiences.html


I own a PL and a Nikon mount. I have a wide range of Nikon lenses all with gears.

I didn´t make any photo of the rig during the shooting - maybe some of the other guys did. Maybe I´ll get one of it...

The gear I´ve used was HVX, LEX, MB16, Chrosziel FF Studio Rig, Marshall TFT, Cavision Baseplate, O´Connor Head and a set of Zeiss HS primes.

do you need to use gears for the ZEISS HS or you use the one on the lens

I used the Zeiss HS gears for sure - why putting extra gears on PL lenses???
