Phil Bloom · June 7th, 2007, 08:52 AM

Broadcast on Sky News this week, online at www.philipbloom.net

They are called "LIFE OF CRIME"

Half of them are shot using the JVC coupled with the Brevis, the other half shot clean with the XDCAM HD

You can still see the last one go out all day today on Sky News...the Bruce Reynolds one

Benjamin Eckstein · June 7th, 2007, 12:51 PM

Your work never ceases to amaze me. Excellent.

The Brits know how to do news stories!!

Cheers Benjamin...appreciate it!

Great work Phil. Great colours, scary bloke though. Who said you can't use these cameras for broadcast?

Liam.

Phil Bloom · June 8th, 2007, 12:56 AM

Cheers Liam. The JVC is a superb camera...couldn't recommend it enough!

Phil
Very nice work. What settings did you use in the the river shots (35mm shorts 2). Your detail level etc. Do you remember ?
Tom.

Phil Bloom · June 8th, 2007, 05:36 AM

Can't remember what settings I used for the river short...mostly factory presets i think with a cine setting or two

Tomasz Ostrowski · June 8th, 2007, 06:30 AM

Thanks for your answer Phil.
And could you write me what detail level you prefer usually?

Phil Bloom · June 8th, 2007, 10:57 AM

i keep it standard...sharper if using adaptor

Hayes Roberts · June 9th, 2007, 12:16 PM

Really nice, Phil--As I recall , did not you previously own an HD100? If so, how do you like it compared to the 200? What lenses are you using with the Brevis and what are you using for a relay lens? Cheerio!

Matt Norman · June 11th, 2007, 09:28 PM

Hi Phill,

I had to comment because I watched the crime series and loved your story telling technique that was obviously the visual one. Every shot made sense and captured each characters presence. As everyone knows, the first few seconds of anything we watch can have you switch channels quickly. You had my attention from the first frame to the last. Really good job.. well done.

Thanks so much Matt. Really appreciate it!

Hi Hayes

Never had an hd100...i was sold on the hd200 with the built in IDX battery mount and the image flip for adaptors.

No relay lens as yet. Desperately hoping for one. Using the brevis screwed onto the fujinon lens...all a bit long.

I use Nikons..in these films almost all shots were done on my 35mm f1.4. The two others I mainly use are my f1.4 85mm and my f1.4 50mm

Hi Phill, I think it's always good to acknowledge when someone is doing some great work. In fact I didn't know it until I went to your webpage that you were the one who shot that amazing footage on the river bank etc. Absolutely loved that work. It was watching that video that made me want my 251. Great colors, awesome work. Be proud of that stuff. It again shows how you speak a million words with a single picture. In your case, millions of words with moving images. Again my congratulations to you.
