Great stuff as always Uli! The baby tossing sequence made me laugh. ?

You’re gonna have to teach your son to take meter readings for you. Seems like he likes to hold the meter anyway! Your wife is a champ for going along with it too.

We have to learn from the wildlife documentarists, I guess ?

I think Uli will be ready to shoot Ken Loach films after a few more months of this!

Thank you Satsuki! My wife is terrific. She is so patient and supportive. I’m very lucky.

Really lovely.

I noticed the scan is far superior to scans of other videos you have on Vimeo from 2 or 3 years ago. Could you shed some light on the difference? 

Hi Raymond,

I get everything scanned through Kodak and don't know if there is a difference in scanners used. I don't think so. There are a couple that were scanned at 2k rather than 4k which makes quite a difference.

4th installment very nice! Won't be long before your kid will be shooting movies of you! hehe ?

Yep, time flies. Hopefully on celluloid, if still available.

The fifth instalment Home Movie is of Julius and his cousin Fritz (with the dummy). It was shot during a trip to Germany last month, after we were finally able to visit family. I bought the Kodak 250D and 50D stock in Germany and had it developed at a lab in Stuttgart. The footage was scanned on a Cintel 2 at the same place. The negative is still in Germany but one day I’d like to get it scanned again on a Scannity to see what the difference might be. The Cintel scan does feel a bit “thin”, not sure how else to describe it.
The music is by Peter Fox, a rapper from Berlin. The beat fits well, the lyrics don’t ?
Shot on an Arriflex 235 with a Zeiss CP.3 25mm lens.

Yea, it's missing something for sure. 

but, nobody would know, as it looks great anyway!

In a pleasing way the camera movements are calmer than with small-gauge equipment.

The Arriflex 235 sits comfortably on your shoulder and is easy to keep controlled, that helps too. And the 25mm lens ?
