EPIC-X with LEICA music video shot with a rare leica 35-70mm outside paris! enjoy!

[C.H.Haskell]

Hey red community...the title sums it up! A contact of mine outside of paris asked me to shoot this music video and we had a lot of fun doing it. I got the chance to test out this leica R 35-70mm 2.8 lens i recently acquired and I am quite pleased. Hard to notice the IQ of the lens when they dirtied up the footage so much. I also shot some wider stuff with the canon 16-35mm. Reduser Olivier Madar out of paris really came through with the gear and offered support as a 2nd camera and with lighting etc. It was quick and dirty, hope you enjoy!

Cool!

Cool video. Like the look of it.

Two questions:
+ what filter was used in post to get the flare/dirty look?
+ how did you go about the shooting slower and getting good lip sync?

Well done!

Very relaxed, I like it I like the way you didn't care about highlights either.. Some people are paranoid about seeing everything. Nice job ))

Glad you enjoyed it Mark! Yeah the goal was to go for a dirty old film look as you might have noticed but they really were budget limited and i was hoping for frame skipping and melting etc. It was fun cause we did not have to be consistent with anything and experiment with multiple looks.

I have to say I enjoyed that.

Hey Steve, thanks for checking out out.

1 I used a combination of real flares using available light in camera durring the shoot. Then in post they used some tails, burns, and edge flares from i think 16mm film type stock footage
composited in, pretty simple stuff really. I know Magic bullet "looks suite" was used for some additional flicker, vignette. Color grade was mostly in Redcine X.

2.I did not camera test shooting double the frames rates so in europe thats 50fps and so i double the speed audio playback speed forcing the artist to singe extremely fast and sound like a
chipmunk. The result is sound sync slow mo, you really need to test though....i find it always drifts eventually so good thing we had the opportunity to cut a lot.

cheers
