This project was made possible thanks to The Village of Kelley's Island, OH, Lakeside, OH, Village Pump, Lakevue Marina, The Mohnacky Family, and Kelley's Island Ferry.
Shot on two original BMPCC, using Schneider Kreuznach 16mm f/2 c-mount lenses. We also used a Schneider Cinegon 10mm f/1.8 for a wide shot.

Love the story, and the vibe. And a really good use of the BMPCC OG.
Thanks, Stefan!
Acting is so good.
Thanks, Ian. Ben and Sarah are really good at what they do.
Congrats!! Awesome ! Love it!
Thanks for watching!
nice film! love the colors
Thanks, Kerwin! I'm pretty proud of what we pulled off with just 6 people including the actors. Thanks for watching!
dope!
I appreciate it
Great picture and well shot. But honestly, I can't seem to relate with the unmotivated camera shakes throughout the movie. The shakes were reminding me it was a movie and not Life.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Thanks for the feedback. That is one of the aspects I wish I would've done differently for this film: locked down camera as much as possible. I didn't take into account how tiring it would get shooting in the cold.
very interesting film , how did you record sound ? direct camera or external recorder and what microphone used? it's very clear
Thanks for the comment. We had a sound mixer on set. Each actor had a lavalier mic and we also had a boom. It all got properly mixed in post.
@@FerLopezPaz That's why it has high quality output , do u mind sharing what specific mics are those ?
@@arunr4103 Apologies for the delayed response. I'm sure we used Sennheiser G3 lavs, and a Rode NTG shotgun. Not sure which model. Hope that helps.
good, awsome film, what the focal mm of the lens please? thanks
Thank you. We used mostly two Schneider Kreuznach 16mm f/2. We also used one Schneider Cinegon 10mm f/1.8 for the shot at 1:14. All c-mount lenses.
@@FerLopezPaz thanks a lots 🙏🏾🙏🏾😉
What are your thoughts on the lenses? Did they vignette?
I love them. Lots of character, you have to come to terms with the imperfections and not try to match them. There was some slight vignetting, but it didn't bother me much. I felt the story was compelling enough to let it slide.
@@FerLopezPaz Which lens vignetted? How much did you have to crop in? I am debating on getting a few for my BMPCC4k and shoot in S16
@@lowriderdocumentary1944 I don't remember having to crop at all. You can see a little of the vignetting at the dinner scene and the beach scene. I don't think it's too bad.
@@FerLopezPaz think ill have to shop around for a few of these lenses. Thanks
Hi mate, am thinking of getting either BMPCC or Canon g7 Mark iii please what's your advice?
Lovely!!! Prores or RAW?
ProRes. Thanks for watching!
5:40 Rudy sounds EXACTLY like Kieran Culkin
in most cases, people just don't know what to do with this camera and how to get a cinematic look. bravo! you are not one of them) my opinion is to use the tripod more often. some t of shots that would look better in static, without camera movement. bcuz it makes the picture nervous.. and in everything else - bravo!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Agreed, looking back, I'd have kept it a lot more steady. Being in the cold and shorthanded was a struggle. Thanks again for watching!
@@FerLopezPaz I actually ended up loving more the unsteadiness of the camera because it echoed exactly the feelings and the circumstances of both individuals. And need I say that the story was deeply heartfelt, and with the music at the end I felt the pain and struggle of the sister, and her unequivocal love for her brother.
I didn't care anymore about the OG, I cared only about the movie. This is filmmaking at its core, and your actors were fabulous. Great, great work.
excelent image quality and color but terrible camera work
Thanks, Thomas. I appreciate the feedback.
@@FerLopezPaz try working on your focal lenght choice, it means so much in all situations, for example only chose wide focal lenght for face shots if you want the wide angle shot to mean something, otherwise it looks like any old home video, most people underestimate the power of focal lenght choice and this is a big mistake, if you shot a conversation with a wide angle lens it looks bad because in the viewers perspective it looks like his to close to the subject and wonders why is that, what is there to look for, it works for a door knock scene for example when you want the viewer to have the impression that his looking at the subject through the peephole , this was just an example, otherwise the wider the shot the more you loose the viewers focus of the subject
@@FerLopezPaz and also try to focus on the 180 degree rule more and on the positioning of the subject in a frame, you dont position the subject in the middle of the frame looking away from the other person he is talking to, you want to make it feel like they are talking to each other not just them talking and looking away from the camera
I disagree with your assessment, but it's good to know the technicality of the 180 degree rule, however, I found the majority of those angles to be quite a breath of fresh air, they conveyed to me a lot more intimacy and therefore achieved their goals. To me it seemed F. Lopez was trying new things, and contrary to the typical angles found in movies such as these, I found his approach refreshing. No makeup needed on the actors, using raw lighting, beautiful score, camera is shaking, where I mentioned above that it fit the unsteadiness, rockiness and the struggle of the 2 main characters and their relationship. Emotionally the cinematography won me over because it followed the story so well. However, to your point, I would like to know which sections in particular are you referring to, it's always good to learn from technical mistakes. Here's a great link for understanding that rule but also ways to go against the grain. th-cam.com/video/jmCpFbZ20Fg/w-d-xo.html
