Altura have uploaded a few training film promos that I filmed and occasionally also edited:
Best of British
Here’s something I made recently, filmed at the Glen Dimplex Home Appliances factory in Liverpool.
I did quick recce and the client’s only real concern was that we had to keep disruption to a minimum.
The production line switched to making our specific colour and design when we needed to start filming, and we only had the parts to produce five of our ovens, so I had to film it as fast as I could.
There was some daylight in the factory as well as fluorescents and some other discharge lighting. But the strong key lighting in the video is from a 1.25kw and a 2.5kw Arri MSR.
I filmed it all using my trusty Hague Multi-Jib on a Heavy Duty Manfrotto tripod, and that’s on a Vinten tripod dolly so I can wheel it around the location on my own if I need to.
The clients were watching my 22 inch location monitor via wireless HDMI.
In FCPX I used the ‘Epic’ look from Luster Grade on an adjustment layer. And I’ve done a few colour corrections under the adjustment layer to balance between shots.
ACC – Ageing Process
Here’s highlights of another ACC job I shot.
New Lenses
I’ve recently bought a set of Samyang Cine DS Prime lenses. So far I’ve used them for a couple of commercials and a 4 day drama shoot and the results are fantastic. I’ll post some images once the productions are aired.
