Short documentary for my friend Douglas Tan, an amazing entrepreneur and self-taught head-barista of Tolido's Espresso Nook. It was a pleasure to work on a piece like this after having known each other for close to 9 years.

For the gear nuts:

Shot on a Sony NEX FS700 with Canon Sigma and Tokina glass using a Metabones speedbooster adapter.
Audio was Rode NTG-2 boomed with Sennheiser G3 wireless (I screwed up the placement and forgot to turn off some appliances so there's a hum, bummer. Lots to learn).
Supported by Vinten Vision Blue set with some shots on Konova K5 slider.

I realised that it was an oversight for me not to change out of a very flat picture profile when the slow-mo stuff kicked in (ISO2000), so there's a load of noise especially in the pressing of the coffee grains. Something to not forget in future, definitely!

I appreciate any criticisms (let 'em fly peeps!) for me to improve :)

Cheers,
Zexun
