Commercial Epic-W and Kowa Anamorphic

[Thai Christen]

Hey guys,

I directed and DP this commercial.
Footage basically straight out of camera. No color grading.
IPP2 high contrast/very soft in Premiere 2017.

Which version do you like better?

Thanks for watching!

Hoho, wow! Nächstes Mal wenn du in der Schweiz bist, sag mir bescheid. Gehen wir ein Bier trinken.

Very different colors from my Raven and Sigmas. WOoOoO! Nicely done. LIGHTING??

I like both versions, but I don't like the ofcentered text at the end. it seems like it was just put in without any thought given to where and which size.

This is what the client wants. I tried to convince them to go a different route with title text, but nope.
Actually I am very happy with the results, because initially client wanted to shoot the bedroom scene in a white studio! Had to fight very hard.

At the end of the day, they pay the bill. So this is how it is.

This is what I kept saying, Helium and IPP2 delivers very nice colors - OUT OF CAMERA - if you know how to light your scene
Saved us tons of time in post.

Both are beautifully done. Version 2 gets the edge.

yes thats always to remember. good job on convincing them. The place you choose looks really nice and is a good match to the forest

Version 2. Great work.

 

[Aaron Lochert]

Version 2 definitely sells it to me. Nice work!

Grade in version 1, Footage and story in Version 2.

Seems like everyone is favoring ver2, which is the OFFICIAL commercial btw.
So, when we finished, we thought it would be nice to make a slightly different version showing the bed scene in the forest (instead of bedroom) as an alternative.

So thanks everyone.
