Premium Member Chris Cooke Posted July 17, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just finished principal photography on a music video for a gospel artist named Kevin LeVar. We shot it all on the EX1 at 1080p with a Letus Extreme adapter. Director: Chris Atkins Producer:Steve Prankard Director of Photography: Chris Cooke The locked version will be completed by August 1st. 28mm lens The lighting was perfect this evening. It was shot beside Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada. Shooting on the beach (I'm behind the camera and the director is over my shoulder) 50mm lens I had a soft light to supplement the window light in front as her key and bounced another light off the ceiling behind her for a soft kicker... again, supplemented by natural light coming through the window. This was one of those happy accidents where the actor pulled up the picture when we were doing our OS and we saw his reflection. Decided to go with it. 28mm lens Dappled sunlight coming through the trees and some reflected light onto the tree trunk on the left. 50mm lens Another shot in the cemetery. 50mm Shot this in at 60fps and the light had to match with our beach scene. A lighting diagram I drew up for our studio scenes. No lens adapter on this shot. Screen grab from our studio shoot. I used a heavily flagged Chimera with a 2K Fresnel for the keylight and various Source 4's, Par 64's, Par 56's and Fresnels for modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Brinkhaus Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Seems like your aspect ratio is off on your grabs, apart from the last one...Most likely an export issue. Looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice! Good call. I was exporting them quick in the airport this morning and missed a step. Thanks for the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Cooke Posted July 22, 2009 Author Premium Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 I took the time to re-size some of the screen grabs to the proper aspect ratio... I will try to remember to post a link of the actual video when it's completed. Let me know what you think. Here I was shooting without the lens adaptor... in an infinity black environment, DOF is not as noticeable and I wanted to make sure my focus was on. We were using the Fisher 10 dolly with a Schactler head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
