  3. After a few surprises (we might get the show picked up here in the US, Europe and South America) and also having IMDB publish the show http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1850287/combined Anyhow I wanted to share with you the third episode..... something different this time http://vimeo.com/20776984 Shot with my Canon 5D Mark II with a Nikon 20mm f3.5. Enjoy!
  4. It has been a while since I posted in the forum but I wanted to share this new indie endeavor with you. In between all the projects that I'm involved with I decided to create a new series of fictional and nonfictional short subjects called "Through the Looking Glass" which will focus around thought, emotion, passion and "on the moment" behavior. In a way it is an exercise to stay sharp with all the craft but at the same time it is a way to get the ideas out of my head and onto the screen. http://vimeo.com/18198318 Subject & Words: Levon Shant Demirjian Music: Michael Masley Shot and Chopped: Martin Yernazian High speed achieved in Fantasma HD. http://vimeo.com/19481263 Episode 2: The Last Drive, "A farewell to an unforgivable friend" Subjects: Sero Kassabian & Ford Ranchero Ford Ranchero's voice: Daniel Messier Production & Words: Levon Shant Demirjian Music Supervisor & Percussion : Michael Masley Production Manager: Nicolas Yernazian Cinematography: Zach Zdziebko Directed, Chopped & Guitars: Martín Yernazian Recorded with Fantasma HD & Canon 7D There will be more to come (our goal is to make a minimum of one a month) Thanks
  5. you guys are a bunch of cry babies......... did you ever hear the term... it is not the camera it is the photographer?.... stop bitching and keep on working....... btw the 5D is a great tool... many pros use it... and they adapted to the issues... like any other cam
  6. Hello my film brothers (or should I say pixels, it doesn't matter) it has been a while since we read each other. The fact of making 4 films at the same time it really takes the time out of your life (that and girlfriends, facebook, your gaffer's needs, sex [with yer girlfriend girlfriends] goats, candy and a 57 year old musical eccentric genius) Anyhow it was the beginning of 2008 and I got hired by Roger Kupelian (http://fugitivestudios.com/) to be his right hand (which was a combination of a director in site, a production manager, the cinematographer and lead editor) helping him developed his biopic East of Byzantium (http://eastofbyzantium.com/). The project was (and is) enormous, Roger's vision is amazing but also are his demands. Meanwhile he was working in New Zeland for the 3 Lord of the Rings films as a lead Matte Painter (have you seen Mordor? that is one of his). Roger started writing his own adventure, The Vartan Mamigonian story. Anyhow, for details you ca`n go to the site, today I want to share with you the first test that we decided to release this past Tuesday (it was kept confidential for studios and big partners but we figured why not share it with the world?) Shot with 2 Red ONE cameras, With a combination of glass, If i can recall correctly we used Zeiss Standards and the first generation RED lenses (the 300mm and the 18-50mm zoom) I won't provided all the list of lights and stuff because I find it unnecessary, just trust we had at least 65 units in a gorgeous set with a 2 green screen walls (135x 64 ft). but if you fellas want to know I will try to be as accurate as possible. 2 things before I post the link: 1) the red was amazing to handle the green and was very simple to pull it. Better than many cameras before it. (i know probably this is old news, but oh well I'm telling you my story) 2) We never had a single problem with the units, NADA... and this is 2 years ago! So congrats to the RED folk! ok enough of the blah blah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPtEfPCAIjQ anyhow... this is the first of 4 clips we are relasing in the next 2 months.
  7. Dear David and Hunter and everyone.... I guess I owe an explanation to you all First, why did I sold my camera? (yes it is sold) because even do I love cinematography, I'm a director first and forth most, I have always been that, it is not something that just happened and I decided to do it now. Trying to do both, plus the writing and the producing, it did limit a lot of resources including time. Also I was been a centralist and that's not good when you are part of a collaborative effort. Now I have 3 cinematographers that I know and I want them to be part of my crew (for different projects of course), and these guys are devoted cinematographers 100%, I prefer and trust them over me. Second, The NPR is a fantastic camera, my system was great, and everywhere I showed it people were in awe over it. So why so cheap, very simple I wanted to get rid of it fast so I could focus on just building stories without having a camera in a case collecting dust and thinking oh man I want those lenses, oh man I need those rods, it was a nice distraction, but a distraction after all. Third: why didn't I just rent the camera?.... no offense but that is the biggest hassle in world, again it will take focus out of the projects that I'm pitching this year, and it will take me even further into the other upcoming projects, trust me guys when I mean I need to focus, there is a reason why. I'm not a rental house, I'm a director. Don't get me wrong I love to shoot, but right now is not the time for me to focus into having a camera and too put all the love that she needs, but instead , this is a time to make projects, be the Idea Man, to think on the Big picture and to be more open to different opportunities. Best Regards
  8. My Dear Cinematography.com Family I know the selling of this camera has come as a surprise to some of you, but I have come to a point in my life were focus is needed the most if success is the absolute goal. As a director I started my career in a camera job, as the years went by my camera skills, photography started to get better, as well as my writing, my direction, etc. Thanks to that, I have enjoyed having many trades, been part of so many crews, so many movies and experiences, bad or good. But for the past couple of years I've struggle keeping up with all of them, not in terms of capacity or talent, but in time and commitment. I've tried to achieve them all at the same time and understood that my purpose was getting hurt. By plunging into "DP-ing", Editing, etc, projects for other people I understood that I was pushing mines aside and postponing them, getting to the point that I would talk about my projects and realize how long it had been since I made something of my own, the way I want to make things. In a way what I'm trying to say to you, is that building a camera kit was very hard, and if you want to be a DP, well go for it, but to me, for now it is not a possibility. I will trust the talent of some of you to make my vision a reality, and with that I will ask of you to trust me as your Director. Thank you very much for all your help and advice My very best Martín Yernazian
  9. This is the hardcover copy of the manual, in mint condition, bought it for 100 dollars, I don't need anymore, selling for 60! Best Regards
  10. this is a great light meter, I bought it for 250 dollars, I just don't use it anymore. User-friendly, affordable meter with advanced features and Optional Wireless Triggering. Exposures accurate down to a tenth-of-a-stop for both ambient and electronic flash light readings (in full-stop mode).

For reflected readings, a Lumigrid (included) replaces the Lumisphere. Dust-proof and splash-proof (JIS Standard Water Resistance Class 4). Weather-sealed against dust storms, nori??easters, and the occasional rogue wave At ISO 100, the EV measurement range is -2 to 22.9. Aperture ranges from f/1 to f/90.9 with a shutter-speed span of 60-seconds to 1/8000th-of-a-second (1-sec to 1/1000th for flash).

  11. I just realize thanks to a few messages that the price was a bit to high the new price of teh camera is 2500 dollars Best
  12. I was very exited, but honestly I just don't have the time to deal with rentals and all of that.... I have enough on my plate as is... so selling will bring some of my money back and many other thoughts away ;) Best
  13. Happy New Year!! Sadly I have to sell my Super 16mm Camera, I'm involved in 2 productions this year and I'm will not be using it for a very long time. First Let me tell you, This is a great camera. Smooth, Quiet and pretty light for its size. I bought it and converted it to shoot a project, but now, happily, it's getting picked up by a studio, so as you see I don't need this camera anymore. It has been converted to Super 16 by the Great Les Bosher in the U.K, he added an Arri PL mount so you could access to the best Lenses out there, both from 35mm and Super 16. He also added a support system and 15mm Rods so you could add a follow focus, lens Support, Matte Box, etc. The Package includes a 4x4 Matte Box made by Les as well, and you can put 4x5 filters to. The List NPR #1154 Arri PL and C mount turret Angenieux finder #170 Comes with hard to find Angenieux viewfinder, much brighter than the original Kinoptik. Aaton Alcan 24/25fps crystal motor #1051 (this motor is hard to find and very desired for it's small size) 17-85 T2 Taylor Hobson Lens. This is a small lens, but very bright and very clean. 2x magazines - #BA52, #BA44 2x lightweight 12V on-board NiCD batteries and charger (new) 12V 4Ah battery pack (needs recell) NP-1 battery adapter 2x battery cables Spare claw movement Full Size Sound Barney for those very close indoor shots. 1500ft of Vision2 500D Stock, that I willing to sell with the package. Owmer's manual Service manual (in french) Also as a gift I will include a copy of the 16mm book Hurry up this won't last. The price of the package is 4000 dollars but I will take reasonable offers. Best Regards
  14. Awesome Kirk! dude that will be great, do you have a place already???? I think my roomate is moving around then... You would love my next projects and I think you could help me out big time Best Regards
  15. Hey Guys, thank you very much for your support. For those that haven't check it out, please do so and pass it around Best Regards
  16. this is gorgeous man! very well done, what glass did you used? Best
  17. Thanks Tom The Midwest has some great cultural talents, Mike is from Michigan and I think he did perform in Chicago once. Masley is pretty unique, he is the only in the world that plays the hammered dulcimer the way he does, actually if you go to the Baker Dictionary of Musicians, they credit him the first true innovator since the creation of the instrument 2500 years ago in Persia. Thanks for the comments
  18. Hello Fellas This is a sneak peek to my feature documentary about the street musician Michael Masley. check out the teaser: and the site: http://aofthemovie.com/ Thanks
  19. Thanks Justin, I want to ask you later about your telecine techniques, I will send you an email tonight Best
  20. BUMP! need to sell this week 3200k Single perforation, etc
  21. Hey Guys I have this rolls, That I can't use on my NPR, they have been on my fridge since I got them they have the Kodak seal Make me an offer Best
  22. spend some money and get a better lens. if you can afford one, rent one. Best
  23. I will spend what ever you feel ( or can afford) on your project. is it great??? does it rocks???? then dude, go all out and shoot this mofo on 35mm or Super 16, both fine choices, but wait..... what's your film about? maybe is a cold frivolous Sci- fi were hd will fit perfectly, or maybe u want the movie to have a more of hands on approach and even vhs will make it look great. My advice is to ask yourself: what will be the right format for my film? what I'm trying to tell through the photography of this picture? softenss? gritty? Mickey MOuse ??
