? Flaming Mercedes Desert Shoot on RED Epic Dragon ?

[Brandon Shafto]

A while ago, months, I saw a BTS film.
The project was this: a photographer had to deliver high res print ready photos for a London (?) gallery in like three days. He goes out to the desert with his crew, dresses his talent to the 9's, gives them a can of gasoline, they douse his classic Mercedes and light it on fire.

The photographer talked about using RED Epic Dragon 6K's for the shoot because believed they were the only cameras capable of capturing what he needed in the short amount of time he had to deliver an outstanding product.

I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE! Please help. Consider this an APB.

Thank you for your help.

If it could have been a Rolls may be this?

YES!
Thank you so much, Mr. Krentz. I greatly appreciate it.

Were they trying to claim they were going to pull frames for the prints? Then hes also running several stills cameras as well. A canon 1dx (i think) and a medium format setup as well.
Waste of a cool car.
More dollars than sense i guess...

 

[Brandon Shafto]

Yes, Lee, he also had a Hasselblad with digital back.

I agree about the car.
He said in the BTS video that he bought it 7 months prior, knowing he was going to blow it up. Apparently they're a dime a dozen for that particular model and year.

Ha! In Australia we get robbed! Everything is expensive. Clothes, shoes, cars, cameras!
I have a gorgeous old 1961 Bel Air Bubble Top that I bought in America a few years ago and would never dream of blowing it up, even if it won me an oscar! They just dont make things like that anymore.

Lee, I hear you. I definitely hate this senselessly waste and destruction, too. What a sick mind weaving this shit in the first place. Unfortunately it seems to work for him in the end - WTF.
