Beautiful

Did you add grain in post to the indoor images? or was it just pushing the camera's ISO? It looks very organic and quite pleasing

Thanks for watching! I shot all the outdoor stuff at iso400 with a variable ND… but I’m pretty sure all the indoor stuff was shot at 1600, so yeah cranked to the max. I also added some 65mm film grain to everything using Resolve’s new Film Look Convert or whatever it’s called

May I ask how did you attached the filter to the lens?

[@bryanhiltner3552]

It took a few tries to figure it out! It looked like these Fujian lenses did not have threading on the ends… but they do. The 25mm has a 30mm filter size, so I used a 30mm-37mm step-up ring and then the 37mm variable ND that I use with my Lumix pancake zoom. The 35mm and 50mm have 35mm filter threading, so I used 35mm-37mm step up rings for those
