Recent Commercial Project - What do you guys think?

[Alexander Manning]

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to share a recent commercial project I directed. We shot on the EPIC w/ Canon L-Series Lenses. Would love to know what you guys/girls think about the piece!

If you have any questions - don't hesitate to ask!

Nice! Great work Alexander! What ISO did you use in the baby room scene, and what type of lighting did you use for the outer room?(Same scene)

Nice! Great work Alexander! What ISO did you use in the baby room scene, and what type of lighting did you use for the outer room?(Same scene)

To obtain truly crisp blacks we shot at ISO 250 and lit it with a 650W (CTB) on a jib arm just out of frame above and to the left of the crib. For the outside light we used a Open-face 1K (no CTB obviously) and brought it up a little in post. It was out in the hall maybe 10 ft. away from the crib.

I love the feedback so far! Anyone else?

 

[Andy Roberts]

Very well done. Great skin tones from the MX and your skills. Great story telling and emotional connection with no dialog was superb.

What was your grading workflow? (in a sentence or two)

 

[Alexander Manning]

Thanks Andy!

Small adjustments in Premiere while editing by tweaking FLUT and Luma curve - then transferred to Speedgrade where I graded scene by scene!

Great work man and the baby room shot looks fantastic with the grading.
