At the weekend I made this for a 24 hour film competition.
It's a bit of a strange film, but I hope you enjoy it! I was the cinematographer, so any comments on the way it was filmed are very welcome, and if you have any questions about how I did anything I'm happy to explain.
One very NSFW word near at the end.
I shot the film on a Canon 7D with a Pentax-A 50mm f1.2 lens, usually at 1.4 (and at 5.6 for the last shot.) I also used a Pentax-A 100mm f4 macro for the two close ups of the glass.
We used cheap arrays of LEDs for the outside shots and a bit of streetlighting for the reed shots. The indoor shots were LED lit too.
Shooting at f1.4 is a joy for lighting at night with weak LEDs, as it drinks up any light you have, but the razor thin DOF is a pain. It can look nice though and helps with the fantasy elements.

Reason: No idea why the video's appearing mutliple times, have tried editing it but doesn't seem to work
