Cooke S7i + Epic - W Civil War short "Homecoming"

[Alexander Hankoff]

Hey gang, I thought you all might get a kick out of this new film I directed and shot inspired by the blankets donated by Woolrich during the American Civil War.

This film was shot in February over the course of two days in Gettysburg, PA with a skeleton crew of 4 including myself. This was the second project I've shot with my new Cooke s7i primes, and boy are they something. I used only available light for exteriors and candles for the interiors. The Epic was set at native 800iso and shot in 8K FF with a 2.35:1 frame guide. The final color was applied by Mikey Rossiter at The Mill in New York on a baselight system.

This is an ongoing project and I'll be posting my second film in the series in the coming weeks. Enjoy!

Alexander

This was dope. Were you using anything special (like the Low Light OLPF for example) for your candlelight interiors? Curious what you did to get the exposure just right.

Wow.. Love the use of light and shadows. Impressive considering that you had a small crew to work with.
