The cinematography in this is gorgeous! You chose a really pretty place to shoot at! It's so colorful! Those views into the distance with the haze are so cool! Also, foliage is a great test of the optics and cameras lol (they're really damn good, nice and sharp) I liked the different effects you implemented with your lenses, like the distorted edges on that one shot you got from the wide angle kind of made me think you were shooting into a puddle for a second haha. Additionally, the macro shots of the bracelet through the magnifier at the end have a particular look on film with the grain between the dark areas. It looks so vibrant! And great work with the music!!
I don't get tired of watching this video over and over. Brilliant cinematography, excellent music. This film have a 90's movie trailer vibes just like your Relic 35mm scan. Very haunting and reminded me of good old time when movies was projected with celluloid. Anyway, the strange-shape object somehow reminded me of a picture from my childhood yellow dinosaur t-shirt with "Koritosaurus vs Tiranosaurus Rex" written on it. Absurd, I know.
Thank you!! From my limited experience they're great cameras, but they can be a bit fragile now - I would suggest getting a custom battery for it - and I've had to replace my battery grip/base, so powering directly into the camera and skipping the screw-on batteries altogether may not be a bad idea. Also with the viewfinder being what it is, I would suggest sticking to parfocal zooms so you can punch in and focus - it's very difficult to nail focus on the fly on that camera with tiny c-mount primes wide open. If you're looking for an alternative, the K3 is a tank with a big bright viewfinder!

On the Beaulieu - a not-so-great Computar 12.5-75mm lens probably meant for security cameras - in some shots it's paired with a very cheap .45x wide angle adapter meant for 90s video cameras. The K-3 just had its stock Meteor 17-70mm.
The Beaulieu is a regular 16mm gate - so that footage was cropped to this aspect ratio. The K3 is super16 but the lens mount needed to be replaced as the zoom lens would vignette on one side at the wide end.
Looks really nice. The colors on the stock and the coral? looks really nice. I've got a Beaulieu I've yet to test due to power issues. Have you had any luck on that end? I wish I knew how to adapt it to v-mount or something, would make it so much easier haha.
I got a new battery on eBay that works really well and lasts for several rolls. It's a brick that plugs into the camera, rather than one that screws into the grip - I had some power issues with the grip itself so it was best to bypass it and go directly into the camera.
Any camera will do it based on the state of its guts / mechanics. I find that I get more wobble from the R16 than the K3 - which may be because the R16 is older and regular 16 (smaller frame size could make the movement more noticeable). Both cameras have been re-worked / maintained but the K3 being so simple and more recently serviced, it likely performs better as a result.
Im going to roll a joint just for this video : D By the way, how did you get radial blur on the edges on some scenes? Lens or effect on digital? Also, your titles are shaky but not along the original gate weave but separately, so was this done on post or did you convert it back to film with titles added digitally first, which can give an extra gate weave
That radial blur is from a super cheap wide angle adapter I put on a c-mount zoom lens meant for security cameras....couldnt see it in the viewfinder but hoped it would be a neat look. The titles and their dissolves were shot on film and then composited digitally so the weave is different - still experimenting with this.
@@anitric2000 well they both look cool and i wanted to know how. The more stuff we get with experimenting with lenses and filters for those blurs and warping, morphing, the dreamy it is. I also love the distortions on anamorphic lenses on wide shots, halation, even fringing sometimes. On film it all looks beautiful, but as soon as we try to fake on digital, it looks cheap haha
They're filmed off a 4k monitor onto 16mm (500T I think) to have that "optical" look - these are a tad too soft as the lens wasn't the best choice. First try! A higher contrast B/W might be better.
Thank you! Can’t wait to share the actual short when it’s finally done! These cues were done in Logic with Spitfire orchestral samples running in the Kontakt player plugin.
Yup all in-camera - I used a C-mount zoom lens made for a security camera and attached an old 1990's .6x wide angle adapter to the front - using that while zoomed in really exaggerated the softness and fringing.

Wow, that's really cool. Love the look and feel. Really beautiful.
Beautiful cinematography. some of those shots are still looping in my brain. well done sir
Thank you!!
Really like the dream like camera work in the forest half.
Awesome. Loved the shot at 2:30 perfectly executed!
Looking great!
Great work! Love it!
Really cool
Thank you for making this and sharing this!
Unbelievable. Stock lens on the K-3? everything looks wicked sharp. Couldn't tell what was beaulieu and what was K-3
Thanks! Yeah - that lens seems pretty warm without any color correction. Stock on the K-3, re-centered for super16.
This Looks Beautiful. Any tips for someone about to buy a Beaulieu??

Hey how did you do the "Strange Shapes" credit in the beginning? It fits so well the film texture
How'd you get the optical printer-like titles?
Great film what lens

How’d you get the 16mm aspect ratio to full frame with losing resolution?
Thank you for this! What do you mean in the description when you said copped/recentered lens?
The Beaulieu is a regular 16mm gate - so that footage was cropped to this aspect ratio.
The K3 is super16 but the lens mount needed to be replaced as the zoom lens would vignette on one side at the wide end.

which camera do you prefer? :)
One is jittery and the other one is not so jittery can you tell me which camera produces those micro jitters more?
Any camera will do it based on the state of its guts / mechanics. I find that I get more wobble from the R16 than the K3 - which may be because the R16 is older and regular 16 (smaller frame size could make the movement more noticeable). Both cameras have been re-worked / maintained but the K3 being so simple and more recently serviced, it likely performs better as a result.
@@anitric2000 Thank you! There’s so little on the R16 out there I appreciate your insight 🙌
How did you do the opening credits? was that just added in digitally?
The credits are all done in photoshop - but then filmed on 16mm off a 4k screen
did they use the Computar 12.5-75 mm with the aperture 1:1.2 or 1:1.8 ?

@@anitric2000 How did you shoot the titles, shooting them on Chroma background on monitor?
How were you able to get the text to look all soft and blurry like that?
They're filmed off a 4k monitor onto 16mm (500T I think) to have that "optical" look - these are a tad too soft as the lens wasn't the best choice. First try! A higher contrast B/W might be better.
@@anitric2000 Oh I assumed this was an effect you can do in an editing software, but nonetheless, it looks cool
What software did you use to make the music? I love this short so much
Thank you! Can’t wait to share the actual short when it’s finally done! These cues were done in Logic with Spitfire orchestral samples running in the Kontakt player plugin.
@@anitric2000 Can't wait! thx for the info
Expensive undertaking
Hello, which camera and lens did you use to get that blurred edge effect? Was that all done in camera?
Yup all in-camera - I used a C-mount zoom lens made for a security camera and attached an old 1990's .6x wide angle adapter to the front - using that while zoomed in really exaggerated the softness and fringing.
@@anitric2000 Thanks! This whole short looks excellent
Where did you get the music?
I wrote it 😂
@@anitric2000 Its amazing omg! Do you have an email? I was wondering if id be able to use it for a class project
