Hey everyone. Incredibly proud to tease this recent shoot of ours, a :60 Vignette about PAWN SACRIFICE (shot by Bradford Young of Selma, Ain't Those Bodies Saints, A Most Violent Year...and directed by Edward Zwick of Glory, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, etc).
This was a project for History, and led by our fantastic client Jason Letchko, we were determined to saturate this shoot in as much cinematic pedigree and presence as we could.
Our "wide" was the 24mm Standard Prime (thank you American Hustle), and our filtration was Smoque (thank you Rodrigo Prieto).
We mixed and matched Standard Primes (24mm - an incredible lens) and Contax Primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm - great 6K coverage), and shot in both 6K and 5K. We also mixed in some Hasselblads for tilt shifted portraits, and a Contax 80-200 and 60 2.8 Macro on B-Cam (for Chess B-Roll and cutaways).
We shot on two Epic Dragons (LLO), each on a Dana Dolly (a truly versatile system).
Our lighting was a lot of soft Chimeras. My DP Ted Rex King did an amazing job, as did our gaffer Seth Coleman, and my production manager Andrew Rupinski. Feel very fortunate to work with such a talented team!
Jake Blackstone did our dailies grades (as always). These are straight lifts.
We shot at the historic Down Town Association (near wall street), where both Elementary and Gotham had just been. Filming in such a breathtaking location always elevates the work, and energizes the set experience!
We'll have the cut to share next week! This was an incredibly fast turn around, and feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have clients that always demand excellence, and push us to do more!
Hope you enjoy.
