Hi there!

I said I would share some frames from a new art short-film I am working on, produced by Al Díaz and Gracia Querejeta for Mordisco Films.

We shot the first block (out of 3) on December, 26th, 28th and 29th and we will be finishing the project during 2016.

And as it says on the title, we are shooting it with a Redone MX and Vintage Schneider Kreuznach Lenses + diopters, amazing what this little camera and these amazing lenses can do!

On a side note, the exterior evenings and nights frames were shot with available and natural light.

Frames have a one light grading and no post-production done yet.

By the way, very little budget!





















































Have a good day!
 
Very nice!
 
Thank you all :)

Definitely the Schneiders are a magnificent match for digital cameras, I have yet to use them on 35mm or 16mm but I'm pretty sure they will be even better.
I love the "oval-esque" bokeh when wide open which makes everything in the background super roundy.

Have a lovely day and thanks again! :)
 
Thanks! :)
It means a lot coming from all of you guys!! :)

The SFX are all in-camera, we shot everything clean and then we started adding up diopters and prisms, sometimes together and, of course, the odd torch or 575w for flares.

We wanted to have some veins and blood vessels too but there was no budget so when we were shooting the liquids I asked for a prism and put it in front of the lens until I found the split level of the water and then I asked for a person to move the fish-tank.

And this is a frame that shows a little bit of it :)

 
Hello Mestizo,

Unfortunately I don't have any R3D's as they are in the production company.

I only got the jpg's from the lab but I will ask for some R3D's in April / May when we shoot the 2nd block.

Have a good day!
 
Thank you Michael!
Super lovely compliment! :)

I will keep updating the thread with more images whenever we shoot and hopefully a couple of promo videos whenever the editor edits them! :)

Have a good day!
 
Does anyone know what Vintage Schneider Kreuznach's this was shot on?
 
Hi!

We are still shooting it!

It is a very complicated project for us as we have to wait for the actresses to be available, the two actresses are Angela Molina and Maria Hervas.

We finished shooting another block in Galicia last Sunday and we still have to shoot three more blocks, 1 in Girona, Spain (underwater) and the other two in Madrid, Spain, the three of them at the beginning of September.

We used an Epic Dragon for the last block as we had to shoot under a really harsh sun (Spanish one) because the director wanted to show a sense of "time passing" within the sequence and we had a lake with all the reflections of the sun so the Redone MX wasn't going to be capable of getting the highlights right.

We will go back to the old Redone MX with Schneiders and diopters for the next block as I think that there is something very filmic about the Redone MX and the way it renders faces.

The director wants to have everything finished by December.

Hopefully there is a trailer before December so I can post it! :)

Have a good day!
 
Hi, I'm actually tetter tottering between a nice set of Schneider-Kreuznach Vintage Lenses and a set of Zeiss Standard Primes. Could you tell me about your experience with the Schneiders? I would also like to know how much your set costs if you don't mind me asking.

Thank you!
Best,
D.
