Puma: Scratch - Shot on Red

[Eli Jarra]

Check out 'Scratch', a spot I DP'd, and completely shot on the Red. Directed by the talented Reynier Molenaar, a Red enthusiast and someone who is always pushing the technology. We had a great time shooting at what is usually an impossibly expensive location, bundle that with with some 'interesting' interaction with the boardwalk locales and you've got a couple of really fun shoot days.

Here's some stills and some BTS footage on the site.
Update: spot got picked up on Boards Magazine and Notcot.
Thanks for checkin' it out!

i dont like the light in the faces, a bit too harsh for my taste. but thats probably just me.

Cool, well now we have the douche-bag perspective. Anybody else have something intelligent to add?

I am sorry that I am not in happyland with you guys, I think that negative criticism often is a bit more helpful than the usual "that's great" cheering.

So maybe Eli will use a frame of half diffusion or so the next time for the face, maybe not, but he will think about it and then that would have helped already, no?

I liked the video and also found the sound design great but i am sure i would like it more if i hadn't seen the original short film.

I think a negative criticism of one's aesthetic is uncalled for. We are all putting ourselves out there in a creative endeavor which leaves us vulnerable. Perhaps you could be a bit more sensitive to this in the future.

reminds of of Keith Schofield's Mims video

and agree with XiaoSu Han. The lighting looks really forced and obvious. Not sure what limitations you had but bigger softer sources would have helped with the dj for me. It works better on the frozen people because it's an effect.

Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP59tQf_njc

Sorry that my comment was so harsh, but I was still learning and as I noticed the obvious lighting, I wanted to point it out.

Let's have more criticism here, then we all will profit.

Yep lighting is obviously too much and dj looks kinda like db in his turned cap.

Funny that in original one dj looks like he is pretty stoned :sifone:
