Iron doors feature film

[Jan Reiff]

we just finished shooting a feature film "iron doors".
shot on red 2072 "travis", photographed by me, directed by stephen manuel.
with a great cast - axel wedekind and rungano nyoni.

this is a mystery thriller and it will go in postproduction now.

i will post a lot of stuff about our setups of the camera and some first stills from the footage in the next days. 10 days shooting with almost no break - the camera did a great job, some very, very small issues, i will report in this thread soon.
but the images we shot are amazing, a lot of stuff we did in lowlight-situations with highspeed optics 1.3 and the material is almost noiseless. it´s simply great. we also used a 100mm arri macro, a 10mm, the red´s 300 and 18-50 and some shift/tilt stuff.

so, after a compact shooting of 10 days with no sleep i will take a breath, but here some pics from the shoot so far ... here in the setup with an arri 55-105mm lense

The atmosphere of the shots look really cool. Can't wait to see some footage.

these are some first stills with fast grading out of redcine.
the stills are strongly compressed right now as i have a slow connection right here ... imagine that the stuff is sharp :blush:
i will post better stills soon.

all is shot on asa320. main light sources were flatheads and china balls.


gaffer on this project was marco riedl.

some few words to the red camera and my experience after this shoot:

under hardest conditions with dust and dirt, 15h days of shooting nonstop - there were no issue that causes any delay of the callsheet.

i had a problem with my power ac adapter, as the camera always went off after powering on. don´t know the reason, we sent it to check but the rental house said the adaptor was ok, so maybe another problem with the power supply on the set... no really issue as we continued with the batteries for shoot. i will take a support ticket in the next days to have response of red about this.
all was shot with the raid, no problems at all.
in 10 days we had 3 times no booting of the camera at the first time, but second time it was booting. so this was no issue.

all - producer, director, actors ... were more than happy with the footage.
great images, no technical bugs, #2072 "travis" was perfect and allowed us to shoot this feature in those amazing quality.

Looks like the tilt lock of the head need to be adjusted. Its locking position is too high.

 

[Jan Reiff]
