Commercial - cooke zoom and standard speeds

[Piers McGrail]

Here are some grabs from a small commercial I shot last week, Epic with an old Cooke zoom and a couple of standard speeds. Few more on my blog.

I want to see the video! Been really interested in Cooke Zoom.

Lovely to see is I am carrying in a 20-100 Cooke and a set of standards...

 

[Piers McGrail]

No BTS pics unfortunately, though they wouldn't be hugely interesting! It was a very small set up, just five of us on the crew, minimal lighting etc. We had to shoot the galloping shots from a jeep, which was unfortunate. We could really have done with an Ultimate Arm I think they stand out as being a little lo-fi.

@ Gunleik - lucky man!

Wonderful work, Mr. McGrail!

 

[Daniel Soderberg]

As usual... looks great!
In that second still with the tungsten light used outdoors, did you gel that tungsten fixture on their faces towards daylight at all? If so, how much? 1/2? 3/4?
Thanks!

 

[Piers McGrail]

Hi Daniel, if I remember correctly that was full tungsten, though it may have been a litepanel which could have been somewhere between daylight and tungsten...

 

[Sulekh Suman]

Good work Piers.

 

[Daniel Soderberg]

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, I was asking because it doesn't seem to have a nasty tungsten color tone coming from the light, so I figured it wasn't all the way 3200K. Wasn't sure if it could be just great color grading too...
