THANKS
Za, Margrethe, TEAMMODELS, UiO and Khang Vinh Tran.
 
I liked it, had a cool concept. The only thing I would say that I did not like was, the girl's face did a complete 180 on looks.
 
look amazing to me. tad underlit at times but considering this gh2 i would say at minimum looked f3 or c300 or something..
 
Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback. Didn’t realize you replied till just now, forgot to turn on notifications for the thread. I agree on the underlighting at the dinner sequence, it worked but just barely. (blew the fuses in the old house, and ended up using half the lighting package... :P)

yeah no prob. the song is amazing too. not even into that type of stuff but it rules. how did you light the closeups of the kitchen dinner scenes, very soft and nice was it china balls or what
 
Yeah, I like it! We actually found the song that matched our video the most, and got rights for it later, hehe. I lit the closeup with a softbox (in addition to the warm "fake sun" outside the window that hits her hair in the wide shots as well). :)
 
Christian-
Interested as to what lenses you used on this. I'm looking for a similar look ("soft" for lack of a better word at the moment) on a project I'm shooting this fall. Would love to hear which glass you chose and any sort of experience you can share. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, guys! Wouldn’t have been possible without the hack, so I owe you many thanks!

Pentacon 50mm f1.8 and 29mm f2.8 for the interiors with the computer guy, pretty much asahi super-takumar 50mm f1.4 for the rest. (The latter usually @ f2.8, wide open it's too smooth). I also used a (modern) lumix 7-14mm and a tokina 11-16, those two took a lot of grading to come close to the rest! Actually there was almost no grading besides the wide angle shots... :) Yeah, and we blew a few fuses on the house where they ate (or where going to eat), so those shots were brightened a bit in post (luckily the fuse powering our fake sun didn't break:) )

Loved it! Very nicely done.
 
I have nothing else to say except, Terrific Job! You obviously know what you are doing so keep it up. Camera talk is nonsense... your concept is well executed and shot nicely.
