- Some behind the scenes of shooting on film in the studio. I used an Arricam LT 35mm camera (3-perf), master prime lenses, a variety of Kodak Vision3, and Kodak Ektachrome. We also used an Arri Alexa 35, and an Alexa Mini LF. Stay tuned for more.

That was oddly satisfying. Almost like one of these "1hr of peaceful music" videos, but more interesting.
Steady Cam, Film and LED wall, you're flying high! I can't wait to see the result man.
hey thanks! I do like the 1hr of peaceful music videos, and even the longer videos. you should check my other channel disconapz. I plan to post some very zen pieces of work there hahah. anyways, can't wait to see the results on this one. I am at the film lab right now :)
I've literally been watching all your videos, they are absolute gold! Thank you so much for sharing all this!
Hey thanks so much. I have a lot more on the way :)
The team looks so much more focus when film is rolling. That was awesome. Don’t wait too long long before showing us the final result.
Definitely focused when the film is rolling. Have to nail it! Should have the film back from the lab soon. Pumped. Will definitely share.
I've been on similar sets so many times, but never using film. My heart was racing. I'm invested.
:) now we wait for the lab to work their magic.
Magically, inexplicably both exhilarating and soothing. Thanks for sharing this!
:) thank you! More to come.
Priceless, thank you
🫡
As someone who's just started and very much aware of how much there is to learn about cinematography, THIS IS AMAZING!
thanks so much! glad it was helpful. I have a lot more on the way :)
This is so exciting, can't wait to see the final result!
I know me too. Now we wait for film to come back from the lab :)
I enjoy all of your vidéos. So far the wedding proposal was my favorite (i'm not including the gear vidéos) but this is one is OMG out-stan-ding !!! I love the pacing, your great choice of music (as Always, you know how to build up tension and bring the perfection emotion by picking the best tune), the BTS footage (congrats too to who ever helped you out) and the whole setup, looks like a lovely dedicated team. That steadycamer back must have need some reste after that. He seems to work just like you, as a movie surgion ;)
In the end, i''m as happy as frustrated (i won't spoil more here) so your ''more to come soon'' better be ASAP ;)
Thank you for the kind words as always Hugo. I love that your favorite video is “love is in the air” it is mine too haha. The team here was top notch, steadicam (Lorenzo) was really great to work with and I hope to see him very soon, along with everyone else. The more to come.. I’m just waiting for the film to come back from the lab :)
Thanks for uploading this. Felt kind of meditative watching this haha. Loved the music too.
Hey thanks so much! I do feel the meditative vibes. Makes me want to make more of these.
Great stuff! Looking forward to the results
Hey thanks. Me too!
Love these videos
Thank you :)
Love this, thank you for sharing!
Thank you :)
this is one of the coolest real bts style pieces. really cool
Thank you :) hope to do more of these!
LETS GOO. Invaluable content man. Thank you for this
Thank you 😇😇
Thank you for letting us into the studio.
I have 1000 questions 😂
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Ask away :) waiting for the film to come back from the lab. Excited.
@@BlaineWestropp1 What screen do you use? Is that screen better than a chroma screen? Who is the actress? thank you ¡¡¡
For the screen what do you mean? The LED wall in the background or the camera screen?
@@BlaineWestropp1 led wall
Ah for the LED.. it’s an LED volume. You can put whatever environment you want in the back. No replacing green screen and tracking later. Tracks in camera. Green is good bc you can choose later, LED is good bc you get it in camera. Advantages to both!
Really dope bts! Cool seeing your guy's thought process in a work mode form.
Thank you! More to come.
So cool.
Thanks for sharing this, Blaine!
thank you :) more on the way!
excited for the ektachrome
It’s looking so good!
This is so awesome Blaine! I’m busy with life, but I’m so ready to start directing. 🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥
thank you! if youre ready... ya gotta just do it!
Love this channel!
thank you 🤩
I feel this love letter to days that inspire and invigorate us. Keep building the tribe man, and keep the film flowing. Two bonus points for RJD2.
Hey thank you! The film will continue flowing. I love it :)
invaluable! can't wait for the next one 👀
hey Ghost, thanks! I cant wait either. twiddling my thumbs over here.
blessed content, ty for sharing
Thank you Eva :)
dude what is this madness... and why do you gotta leave a cliffhanger like that!
but this is sick, we finally got to see you in your directing element 🤘
Haha, I’m on the cliffhanger too, waiting for the film to come back. 😎
looks great, would love to see the Alexa 35 footage
Will share soon! The Alexa 35 footage definitely looks great!
Cinema magic 🤌
😇
I love this. It's super interesting to get a glimpse in how you direct shoots like these.
One question: I've only ever shot on digital and wondered how you get digital output from an analog camera?
Hey thanks so much! The film gets sent to Kodak, then scanned at the lab in the city, when they scan it I have them scan it to a hard drive. Then I pick up the film and the hard drive! Let me know if you have any more questions.
@@BlaineWestropp1 Hey! I was more so talking about the monitor you were holding as well as the monitor for pulling focus. It looked like there was a digital preview on there?
Oh yes. We had a smallHD cine7 on the camera. Built into that is a teradek transmitter. Then we had a couple handheld smallhd monitors with receivers built in. One of them was mine and one was the 1st AC’s. Super convenient to have the teradeks built in especially for studio shoots and everything is fairly close together!
Raise the stakes. Things look tense when the film starts to roll. You look way more chill holding that BMPCC 😂
I’d call it more of a focus when the film is rolling. :)
This is awesome! Very curious as to what your workflow is shooting digital and film at the same time. I have a shoot coming up where my DP wants to shoot on a 16mm Bolex and a Red Dragon simultaneously but I (as first AC) think we should do earlier takes on the Red and then switch over to the bolex… Is that what you guys did here?
hey thanks! I shot some tests with digital and film, to profile the stocks/sensors. Outside of those quick tests we shot everything on film. For your scenario, I would need to know more. for example if you are in multiple locations, it would make sense to shoot both, instead of returning to the location for an extreme example. all depends what your goal is and what the majority of the project will be (film or digital). if you have a lot of time, and are shooting the same shots on both, you could shoot digital first to get any of the mistakes out of the way, then shoot film. What are you shooting?
thanks for the reply! We're shooting a ~4 minute short in the woods, hoping to have all of the final cut on film. However, this is both of our first times shooting motion film and we're on a very tight student budget; needless to say, we want to make sure we nail it while rolling as little film as possible. The digital shooting would be just in case we royally fuck the film up/pre-cutting before we get our film back. We might also roll sound with the digital takes and sync it up with the film takes to avoid ADR/motor sound. Any tips are much appreciated! @@BlaineWestropp1
@@charlieschomp3184 cool! thanks for the info. I would fully send it with one or the other. having both will just complicate things. take your phone and shoot the whole film (rehearsal) on your phone, you'll se how much time you rolled. and then you can make a decision on which format to use. if you choose film, run rehearsals before you roll the camera. or, shoot it on digital and dont worry about it. the film process is fun, but sometimes digital is right. I would try and do a film test, where it gets developed and scanned, so you can see it, judge your exposure. are you able to do a test? having both will just complicate everything. you ever see the dark knight rises? Bane only got out of the hole with no safety rope.
Nice BTS! Just one question: why the Arricam was cabled to a guy with a battery? Usually that type of XCS sled can supply 24V with a 2 pin Fischer cable like the Alexa Classic/LF, right?
hey thanks! I believe we had a faulty cable somewhere in the chain and to be safe went with battery belt.
New video! Came in, smashed the like button ❤
thank you thank you 🫡
Providing so much information while saying so little… very cool getting to be a fly on the wall! ❤
Thank you. I definitely want to make more of these. Sometimes you can see a lot from the fly on the wall perspective.
Looking forward to it, man!
@@JuanMatajuaninamilli me too :)
Steady cam. Gangster
Lorenzo... the best.
awesome. looking forward to your thoughts on the results.
thank you King. I am looking forward to that as well. fingers crossed for those ektachrome shots.
Thanks, cannot wait to see what you ended up with there, I am sure it will be awesome..
cant wait to see it. hope I didn't mess up those ektachrome shots. patiently waiting to see 🙂
@@BlaineWestropp1 hahahaha
I'm late to the party here, but great video here! Gives insight into the creative process that comes with doing projects and the concise practicalities that you can learn by observing, cause it's actually during a shoot!
Hey thanks! I love this video. I am going to attempt to do this again this week for a different type of shoot.
@@BlaineWestropp1 nice! Looking foward to it if you can!
🐐
you da goat brah
Awaiting the outcome so bad
I am looking at the footage now and it is 👌 stay tuned!
Love the skeleton crew approach! Feels so much more freeing and natural as compared to 50 people running around screaming into walkie talkie complaining there's no signal on the client monitors
Yep. Didn’t even have walkies on this one, granted we were in a studio and all fairly close to each other. The crew is really great, efficient, and smart.
@@BlaineWestropp1 do you often direct as well as DP?
Sometimes. In studio work, for fashion stuff for example, in my experience I am very close with the talent and whispering movement direction. This depends on the director, sometimes I will not whisper direction. And sometimes, in the studio I am the director.
1st AC was probably loving you with no marks 😂 satisfying watch
haha probably also loved the couple steadicam shots that we shot at a 1.3 on a 135mm lens. he nails it though.. and out of respect I do at least call it out that I know it's annoying. and for no marks, I specifically wanted an in and out of focus vibe at times, where the camera kind of finds the focus and its okay if she dips in and out.
This is how it’s done
I’m paying extra to rush the development 😇
i still dont get how you see digital image from the arricam to pull focus and frame the shot. is there a sensor? is it behind or to the side with prism? what is happening inside?
there is a camera inside. it sees what the mirror that is spinning reflects. there is a beam splitter so that the viewfinder and the video tap (the monitor) can see an image.
killer.
😇
Did I spy the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K? I just picked one up myself!
Oh yes ya did! That’s dope you got one, congrats!
Do I see a steadicam without Volt? Nice!
Ya know.. I am not sure
any updates on this shoot? When can we see some footage?
Espero algún día llegar a tu nivel. 😯
¡todo es posible! Todavía tengo un largo camino por recorrer 😊
can you rely on the videotap for pulling focus?
Not as easily as a digital system. We did have a laser on top of the camera. I can’t remember what it is called but it is similar to a light ranger.

Sweet...we need to do a filmmakers hang night in NYC...get the community together...
Yeah we do!
@@BlaineWestropp1 ill message you on ig and we can make it happen.
Can anyone ID the music in the background at the beginning, driving me crazy, thought it was the Astroid City soundtrack but not sure
anndddd I found it, was French Dispatch not Astroid City
Ooo thanks for sending! I was also wondering that.
So what did the movie turn out to be about?
You will see!
I love her

I can only hope. but I have confidence in it :)
@@BlaineWestropp1 hit my line next time ur shooting film in NYC, would be down to help 🧪
Dope thank you!
I would love to shoot film if the project can support, but for now, no chance.
Try and make it happen! Never say never…
@@BlaineWestropp1 Thanks.
