Oh shit, we're bring out the old photos now! Interesting story, glad you are around to tell it and glad you are around to tell it for those who are no longer with us.

It's a pain not eating what you want, when you want and hard to find the time to build your empire and workout 5 hours a day. The Buddha said about true happiness. "Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired."

He he, you'll soon know all that there is to know, as we are rapping preproduction here in Rome, on my new film. I'm also working on the Last Draft for the re-write of "SON of DRAGONS" most likely our next Film, which will shot internationally, in such locations as Italy, Singapore, China, Korea, Filipines, and USA, and will be about that time of my life, a very different take, on FIRT BLOOD times depicted by some of Jan Cloude Van Damme's movies, very different take on it, as I was one of those poor Bastards that played that game in those times, and only one of few that actually survived to be able to tell a story about it.


Be prepared to see a Different Ketch Rossi, after this summer's training is over... ;)

For now a small glimpse at those times and what I looked like going in, as coming out I was a very different person, not only Physically... :(


Shot taken by a friend in those crazy days, not my best of happy times, and I had just arrived in the US trying to escape it all... But as you will see in the Film, it didn't work out too well...

And I agree with that smart Buddha man Will, and this was one of the reasons coming back to Italy, lead a healthier life, and the food of course plays a big role in this, and to get my strength back, so to be able to tell all of this stories I have been writing for the past 30 years, I hope again, that God grants me this possibility, as I truly believe this stories will change lives for the better, and inspire many to help others change their lives for the better too.

Hi Alexey,

I used Master Primes for most of the shots, but also used the RED PRO ZOOM 17-50.

For this shots I used Master Primes, with Master Diopters, staking them.

Most welcome Alexey.

Well, unfortunately in my professional experience, no matter what other tell you, or like to believe, only the best tools will allow for the very best results, if you are good you can get great results no mater what, but if you are good, and also happen to have the best tools money can buy, well, then you'll get even better and greater results... ;)

But I also will come out and say that I did have achieved great results also with the RED Canon Mount, and Canon "L" series glass, just don't expect to have it blown up to 4k and hold the same detail as the same image shot with a high end Cinema lens, such as a Leica prime, Master Prime, Ultra Prime or RED Prime.

But go out there, experiment, shoot with what you can get, and have fun.

I promise you that the time in which you will be able to afford the best, will be granted to you, if you do dedicate yourself to what you love.
 
Thank you Ketch a lot as always!
I am not a good in post but I am trying to by cheap lenses now I know it is very hard to give advice about choosing lenses
and I am very scrupulous in picture especially in cinematic and saturation for example (may be it as amateurishness) but I see a lot of cinematic footage which is cinematic but not saturation enough and even dull and it looks like old movies for example.

http://vimeo.com/36007896 or this http://vimeo.com/23751480

And I want to get picture very cinematic and very saturation at the same time.

for example

For example your picture above is very smooth (cinematic) and sharp and saturation at the same time
So I have to ask you (sorry:)) is it possible to get such cinematic and color saturation picture on Epic with Zeiss ZE or Zeiss Contax or Nikorr Lenses (that I am choosing between them)?

Thank you

Always a pleasure Alexey.


What you ask is actually very simple, and any lens can give you a Cinematic look, and or any one can achieve a saturated image.

Cinematic effect, is very often interpreted with images shot with SDOF (shallow depth of field) meaning at wide open aperture or close to it in order to blur our the BG (back ground as much as possible) which this in turn has different look depending on how many blades are in the inner elements that compose the Lens, and what shape they create.

Of course depending on distance of Subject top camera and BG to subject there might no need at all to go wide open and even stay at the lens usual best spot, form 4 to T5.6 this been sweet spot of most lenses.

While the very best lenses do nice even WO (wide Open).

Cinematic is also same as Saturation, a fill and a look that is created during acquisition with the use of a Polarizer filter, and in Post finished to fit the individual filmmaker's taste, by color grading and processing the images as needed.


Of course Cinematic is also a particular way of framing your subjects which does bring one's work apart form the other.


What I'm trying to say, is that any and every lens can give a cinematic look and fill and pr Saturation, its all about capturing the image with proper framing and proper exposure, use Polarizer when you can, I use it all the time, and must have a nice post grading to the images.
 
Ketch I believe you hit the nail on the head when you said:
nly the best tools will allow for the very best results, if you are good you can get great results no mater what, but if you are good, and also happen to have the best tools money can buy, well, then you'll get even better and greater results... ;)

I tell people all the time it's the person not the tools, but the tools do play a ROLE thanks for this statement.
