Bruce Weber's Hollywood for Vanity Fair

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Great video. I found it interesting that in one of the portraits they emulated that old TV camera look with the contrasting halos. I wonder if they used localized tonemapping or if that's a specific digital filter. It's a cool 'defect' from the old tubes.

Some stills from the film :

This is nothing short of extraordinary work.

am I the only person who is just super confused about what I just watched... Other than it being in black and white it looks like some college kids made a behind the scenes video that didn't make any sense

That's pretty much Hollywood and any celebrity magazine. That said, I enjoyed these vignettes.

remember at the high end level, out of focus, shakey, etc, footage is not considered amateurish it's considered artistic license. :yesnod:

Awesome ! I would love to see more stuff like this.
Is that a canon 85 1.2 on the Red Ben Afleck is holding?
Thanks,

Definitely not... Its a zoom...

This is what the Canon 85mm f/1.2 II looks like on Epic...

Return to Broken Noses. Quite lovely. Would love to see Epic-monochrome projected.

"Sense"? I don't know what you were expecting. It's a fashion video to look pretty. I don't know what "sense" any photo in vanity fair is supposed to make.
