Mr. Macgregor Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 We had a great time shooting this: http://cinemekserve.temp.powweb.com/demos/...similo.h264.mov (59 mb) Quicktime 7, guys. Or Windows media at lower quality: http://cinemekserve.temp.powweb.com/demos/...egor/similo.wmv (45 mb) This was shoot at almost Zero budget. I hope you like it and i will be please to answer questions. Shoot in miniDV with G35 adapter, very natural light, nto very hard CC on it. I think it is the best thing i have done in PAL. This shots were done during the magic hour. With the sea at the left, and volcanic desert at the right. We only had a 20 minute chance to shoot this scene. A white reflector is on the right, to create that mistery light (michael Bay style). The car scene. We wanted to shoot this at dusk. They are in a futuristic Antartic, so dusks take a lot of time there. Also the landscape needed that dark atmosphere. They are in a new Merc SLK. And it was shooting on the director´s garage. As you can see i was very ingluenced by Code46 so i wanted to make a tribute shot here to that movie. The white set. 1000W X2 reflected in the ceiling. That is all. Naked girls do the rest. Back to location again. We were running out of light here, so silver reflec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Highland Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I liked that a lot. I was a little unclear from your post, were the windows in the car shots composited, then? Especially nice work on the love scene, good choice of angles and well-cut. And the girl even LOOKS like Samantha Morton!

Premium Member Rupe Whiteman Posted February 28, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi, liked the look of the shoot though I cannot download the quicktime movie for some stupid reason... Just wondering which dv camera and lens on the adaptor you used?... regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Alex Ellerman Posted February 28, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2006 I thought that was awesome... it was restrained, not busy like some dv films, but planned, architected, and executed. the direction, the art direction, the blocking was all top notch for a (dv) film. Congratulations! ae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvworks Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Really beautiful screen grabs. Did you crop it or use an anamorphic adapter? All the best, Rick Edited February 28, 2006 by elvworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Day Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Terrific work, really outstanding - I'm amazed it's dv. What camera did you use? How many on the crew? matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Allen Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 What does "show off" mean? Sorry - I forgot that might not translate. it is simply me saying kudos (congratulations) for a well shot production on such a limited crew. I'm inspired and impressed. It's like me tipping my hat to you and poking you in the rib at the same time, but in a friendly way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Bill Totolo Posted July 25, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted July 25, 2007 Is Cinemek putting out anymore G35 adapters? Anyone renting these in Los Angeles? Love the work Mac, inspiring. BTW, which lenses did you use? Thanks, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
