With The Help of Arri Australia & Panavision Australia
The Fact that I was able to hand hold the camera comfortably at hip height became a huge plus ,,, 'SHOOTING FROM THE HIP' went from being a well worn phrase to a Creative REALITY with the ALEXA ....... Combined with the ability to render the available lights mixed colours in a natural form really made the LOOK of the Film ... I COULD NOT HAVE SHOT THE WAY I DID WITH ANY OTHER DIGITAL CAMERA I HAVE USED ..... I am PROUD of the results ;-)

THE FINISHED GRADE ,,,,,, We decided on a MODERN Look .


Good Production Value in shooting on location for AVAILABLE LIGHT with a small crew and the ARRI ALEXA ,,,,,,,, What more can I say ,,,,,


I Love this wide opening shot ,,,,,,,


And this shot from under the stairs looking out ,,,,, a nice piece of Architecture helping to focus on the people in the shot ......

This shot in its raw colour had a very Green /Blue Backlight from a ceiling fixture ,,,,,, You dont see that now with the final grade ,,,,,, I must say the Camera had handled the mixture of colour temperatures from the various fixture very well .


We had selected the correct head wear for Kelly ,,,, It complemented her and also was very useful in letting some of the top light through when kelly was looking up at John ,,,,,, even If I didnt like the sharp nose shadow it produced at times ,,,,, In a perfect world I would have floated in a very light diffusion frame from above from the conveniently places staircase ,,,,,, But no gaffer and no time ,,, no problem ,,, he he


Love that Hat ,,,,, Hated the Cap ,,, he he he ,,, Multiple face shadows at all times ,,, worse than the one small nose shadow when looking up




The hardest part of handholding this shot was the nearly 2 minutes of static before John moves back towards kelly ,,,, The camera was on my shoulder at this point , It couldnt be a lower angle because of John height and Kelly seated position , ( also my height in bare feet ) ,,, Later we moved to much lower camera moves from the hip ,,, Much smoother moves with the camera off the body of course ,,,,,, one of thses days someone will make a Digital camera that is as good as the Arri 2C was to hand hold ,,,,,,







I love how the staircase shadows the back wall to make the Artists stand out in the frame ( a good 3D shot )...
