Just playing around with some grabs from Monday's shoot.
Much thanks to redusers Stan Paik and Sam Druckerman and my lovely crew that helped pull this off on a pretty meager budget.

Director: Tim Hyten
DP: Matt Garrett


Shot with elites 32mm, 75mm, and 180mm from slow motion inc (who were awesome)
and lomo 50mm

Smoked out the set?

Loved the last hi-con look in the first post

 

[Benjamin Rowland]

Hey Matt,

Looks great, how did you handle the on set viewing and cropping in post?

Cheers,

NYC Matt

im really curious as to how you did on set viewing as well?

 

[Matt Garrett]

viewing on set, we had one carrion monitor that can do a mostly desqueeze that I gave to my first ac.
I op'ed squeezed as did the bcam for the whole shoot. A little awkward but did the trick on low budget.

In post i followed Mike Burton's posts here on reduser.
Created a 2048 x 1152 size timeline and scaled the footage by 76 x 38

 

[Gael Geneau]

Looks fantastic!

Quick question, the still of the girl in the F.G in profile with the guy in the B.G with the x-rays? (i think) in the background -- which lens was that?

Thanks

 

[Matt Garrett]

Believe it was the 75mm backed way up.

 

[swing em]

what was the budget on the project?

 

[Matt Workman]

Can you link to the workflow post that you mentioned by Mr. Burton, I searched and couldn't find it.

What lenses did you test? The Elites seems pretty nice. LOMO I've seen from Pixelloft. I guess there are no Panavised REDs for Panavision C-Series huh?

Thanks,

Matt

didn't really get to do much testing at all actually. not many people want to rent you lenses if you already have the camera arranged.

Great work Matt, Good to see these guys back in the spotlight, I shot some live material for these guys a few years ago.

 

[Geoff Reisner]

Love that medical set shot with the girl... amazing.

 

[Kholi Hicks]

ANAMORPHICS. I'm with Geoff.

 

[Michael Ragen]

Grabs look killer!
How would you say the sharpness compares to 4k spherical downrezzed to 2k compare this?

 

[Matt Garrett]

I've only really checked the images on a laptop so i don't know if I can judge. Also, i'm really not a res whore and love to look of older(softer) lenses. But the elites were VERY sharp, even wide open.
You can easily see a difference between the lomo and the elites at 2k.
