The new laforet movie

Shot on the new 1D mkIV at iso 6400??
wonder how this would look on a k7 at iso 3200.

YouTube - Nocturne

maybe Pentax should get this guy to do a pentax movie, he sure knows how to make it look good. (Altho as ohers have said the story is not so)

It sure looks good, but don't expect to shoot stuff like that handheld with any DSLR out-of-the-box. He's using something like 20K$ of additional video rig to shoot these.

Canon took the video down from most websites because of the color aliasing problem about 2:36 into the video.

His blog entry on it is interesting:

Lights Out, Camera, Action Vincent Laforet’s Blog

QuoteQuote:
Here is the main point that I hope you take into account: the short film you are about to watch was shot in pretty much the very worst light that I could possibly find in an evening urban landscape. I did not chose “pretty lighting” in a mall or under neon signs. That would have been cheating in my book.

The short was shot near East 6th and Mateo St. in Los Angeles - in an industrial part of the city. If you live in the area - go check out the area - you won’t believe the video you see below came from the poor lighting in that area. Sodium and mercury vapor lights. That’s it. Really awful lighting.

Not a single external light source was used / added. In other words I did not use a single flashlight, LightPanel, flood light - nothing. For one shot only I pulled out a silver reflector… just to say we did it really. And yes it worked (see the shot of the young girl.)

The ISO stayed locked in the 6400 ASA range - with a very few shots hovering 1 stop above and one or two set to 3200 ASA because we had TOO MUCH depth of field…(on the bridge.) At one point I found myself shooting at 12,800 ASA by mistake - and I didn’t even notice any noise on the rear LCD in the skies… 6400 ASA is the new 1600 ASA - maybe even the new 800 ASA. Stop to ponder that for a second - and what it can mean to the way you approach your craft.

6400/12,800 ISO video done with the Nikon D3S

QuoteQuote:
The stills and motion were captured using only available light through the windows (to the right of frame) just after sunset. The camera settings where used at 6400 and 12800 ISO.

That's like a Hollywood production, i.e., lots of effort for the production but a content that hurts the brain. I couldn't stand watching this to the end.

I know its just supposed to showcase the camera but it didn't work for me at all.

it was still yet another movie about nothing... the credits were nearly as long as the picture itself.

a pretty solid effort, the second shot of the little girl was oof, lose the soundtrack?
