ON SET
Technical Info:
Shot on a RED EPIC – W at 24, 48, and 60 fps. For this project my goal was to focus on a minimal setup, as the whole idea of the project is individuals creating things with their hands. The entire project other than a couple shots on a tripod were shot with an EasyRig. For the interview I used a 2ft and 4ft quasar switch for lighting. Overall I wanted to keep it as simple and challenge myself, to film with the camera, and SIGMA glass to see what type of image and story I could produce.
