Book trailer commercial

Thanks for the kind words! I love the superspeeds as well, the way they flare, their microcontrast. A great look when coupled with the high resolution of the Epic! I've shot a lot of music videos with them.

Yeah I personally am quite fond of Contax Zeiss lenses as you could argue that they are a very "poor man's" Superspeeds. They are Zeiss's still lenses made from the same era (70s, 80s), and they are supposed to have a very similar T* coating (as do Hasselblads). I love them for the same reasons - great flare, great micro-contrast.

We shot a spot on Super Speeds a couple of weeks ago and it was like using my Contax's on Steroids - the 1.2 aperture is MIND BOGGELING. But that slightly analog look on an uncompromising digital brain like the RED is a pretty powerful combination, I completely agree. The RED by itself has no character - that's imprinted on the RAW data by the lenses you use, and of course the lighting and story you are shooting. But for visual "personality", I think glass has as a lot to with the character of the image, which is why I think Super Speeds are really interesting, as are lenses like Leica R's, that have a very distinct "look" I think.

Happy shooting. I like this piece a lot. And yeah...the flares in particular are pretty great. Great job.

The old super speeds save the day :) and your eye... pity about the VO... It killed all your good work. :) Happens to all of us.

Thanks. Yeah, VO was client's call. I was against it.

Great images, editing, and shot composition! I enjoyed that a great deal and empathize with the pain of having clients take away from projects. Been there!
