Popular Post Ed_David Posted February 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2016 Here it is! We recorded hdmi 8-bit 4:2:2 out of it and went to the odyssey skin tones overall are nice! and stabilization is amazing. The camera was interesting to use - especially considering that it's a 200 ASA camera and has moire and dynamic range challenges - sometimes this is interesting to have to maximize something with limitations. It's difficult, but I guess it disciplines you. Mars, AaronChicago, HelsinkiZim and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 9, 2016 Super Members Share Posted February 9, 2016 So good! So so good! I only saw moire if I looked for it. Regular viewers will never notice (they never do). EDIT: man you graded that perfectly. EDIT2: loved how people stared. It only added to the story and feel. PS. What was in the box?

AaronChicago Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Awesome! What kind of rig did you use to attach the EM5ii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Love the grade. Reminds me somewhat of late 80's to mid 90's film looks, which I love. I've been trying to replicate the look by grabbing stills from Ferris Bueller, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Breakfast Club etc..and trying to match. Any luts used as a starting point?

fuzzynormal Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As always...great work! Congrats to you, the director-writer, and the crew. I like the bit about fish-sticks. Also, that Puzzo guy is a pretty good voice actor. Does he get a credit as camera-op too? ;-) I really enjoy the theme of short films I've seen from you here on EOSHD. The inner dialog narrative stories are a lot of fun. Good creative opportunities. So...do the Olympus PR guys visit this website!? When the NX1 came out with their goofy "Yvonne" product film I seem to remember it getting slammed and people here actually said, "Hey, just give a real filmmaker a camera and let him do something!" Not sure how you got connected, but glad you did. It's encouraging to see the potential of the EM5II, regardless of it's limitations. The fact that you were able to hold down the highlights is nice to see. Also, the camera arm/body rig, did the mount arm go out behind his crotch? Also, who built it?

Ed_David Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 thanks guys - the other Olympus pieces are pretty amazing - couldn't believe the look the other filmmakers got out of that camera. We used the 1st person rig thingy from some Sweedish person - 3rd Person View camera mount (ALL SPORTS PRO version) - it was pretty good - our thing was making it as far as we could from the person. the other olympus video was closer. Olympus paid paul the director to make a video - the only catch was we had to use their camera and lenses. the idea was all his. and funnily enough his idea was my idea at the time too - which latter became my film chatterhead - which is just the thoughts of someone walking thru the city. I turned mine into a political piece because it was consuming me a lot at the time and i wanted to make a film for bernie. little did I know the film would make me question him and the entire political situation. Oh well. Mattias Burling, Lintelfilm, Hitfabryk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inazuma Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 This is sooooo good man I love the bit where he's paranoid that people know that he was wearing a watch that didn't work. I wore a watch like that for half a year and had the same feeling What was the focal length used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 the grading was based on a fuji lut paul did in after effects. The lens was the olympus 9-14mm or something like that. Pretty crappy lens, but we were forced to either use that or another zoom that was a 12-12mm or something. With the micro 4/3 crop factor, we had to go as wide as possible.

sam Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks for giving the lut/grading info you had. I have yet to see any films shot on digital cameras replicate the look from some of the classic mid 80's to late 90's films. Extremely smooth highlights, pinkish Caucasian skintones, neutral, well lit look with natural looking saturated colors, plenty of detail/texture, yet soft/smooth, with beautiful grain to top it off. Also, have you watched your cult leaders new release? Zach Goodwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_David Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 yes Paul is awesome - very talented guy and amazing brain on him. He's a savant with technology and visuals - pretty unique brain in that man. JazzBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmcindie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You have some great quality grains in your footage! Do you generate those with software (magic bullet etc) or are they actual 35mm grain textures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 that piece I don't know what Paul did. In general I use gorilla grain, low level and about 60 percent opacity. I have started to upload to vimeo with pro res LT so it's not h.264 getting recompressed as h.264. seems to work better. JazzBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
