Here is a Music Project I shot with 7231 and 5231 last year which just came out, Kodak pulled the plug just a few months after we wrapped shooting...

Nice work Robert. Did you plan out what you were going to do with them/or alone, or was it more experimental? What lenses were you using? Loved the close-up singer shot with the mic. Looked like a fun shoot!

[Robert Houllahan]

I planned out the look by using slow film and hot direct lights, I sort of hung out with them over a month period of time where they were tracking their new album. I shot with my LTR54 and a Kinoptik 5.7, Zeiss 9.5mm and 25mm superspeeds and a Canon 7-56 zoom and my Eyemo with a Peleng 8mm and a 18mm Nikor. I have allot of film left and I am going to probably cut two more for two other tracks on the album.

 

Ben liked the sound of the Eyemo being hand cranked that I "played" it and the sound ended up on one of the tracks for the new album.

 

"Smart Flesh" is Low Anthem's third album available Feb 22.
