Super16 Film & Digital / STCL-X tests

[Carlo Lopez]

Hi,

that was the Laboratory of Self-taught Cinema - Experimental (STCL-X) in Brindisi, Italy.

Me and my sister (the actress) founded the Lab as a way of gather all the filmmakers of the area, either professionals (I am an Electric, she's an Actress), either kids. Consider that the area of the Lab is dangerous, as robberies and gunfights happens very often (another robbery few hours ago), so this was mainly an effort of grabbing kids from crime.

Eventually the Lab died in less than twelve weeks.

However we were able to make two test: one digital on Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, and the other on Film (old and damaged 7219, on AATON XTR and Angenieux 12-120).

I performed cinematography, lighting, I also operated the camera, directed the shoot and loaded the magazine.

This was our film test. It was just to try the Camera and Lens, and also to try my intended look for our next project.

Then the following is an actual short; my sister improvized a monologue while I was preparing the scene. Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and Angenieux 12-120.

 

 

I want to put also the files of this one online, soon.
