Hey guys! Here's the latest film I got to DP/Edit for Father's Day. Sometimes, it's hard bringing old footage to life, but I think we found a creative way to bring back the memories that were made many moons ago.

Shot on the amazing RED Gemini in 2x 5K 6"5 Anamorphic mode! Gosh I'm loving this thing. Mainly lit by practicals at only 1600 ISO. This thing is crazy good. HUGE upgrade from Weapon Helium IMO for my needs.

Happy Early Father's Day Dads!

Chris,


This a really great and inspirational "Human Interest Story"!!. It does an excellent job of showing the great love and bond between a father and his son. Especially faced with his father's advancement in age and the specter of how much longer will he be around to both take care of his son and to provide his son with this spiritual, mental and physical escape from his condition.
 
What an amazing story! Very well shot and edited. Also, I hate it when dust gets in my eyes...
 
Absolutely beautiful, Gemini and it's capabilities aside, this is just such a beautiful story.
 
This is fantastic! Love the look of the room and the colors. What lens(es) did you use and how did you go about grading your footage? Great film!

Thanks dude!
 
Thanks, there should be more stories like this to inspire!
 
Great piece Chris! I'm about to go DSMC2, never considered Gemini until a few weeks ago, after research & watching this, it's a done deal, Gemini's the camera for me... Was this shot at 1600 ISO in "normal mode" (as opposed to low light mode)?

Thanks dude! You’ll be very happy with Gemini. It’s a true beast!
 
Forget about the camera (even though the images are lovely)...This is such wonderful and heartwarming work and a truly inspirational story! Fantastic job, Chris!
