thanks Benjamin!

nice stuff, what framerate did you use?

1080p 24 fps

Beautiful, so good.
I do like the 'framed' shots too (where you didn't zoom in enough in the letus).
Take me with you on your next job like this.

wow, Ed. Great piece! and the shots are just spectacular! :]
i was attached to the story especially because of Martin's history of the holocaust. Pretty amazing how people came out so strong out of what happend.

how did u come to this, when your interviewee feels so comfortable with you to share with you all that?

that guy was awesome.

Really, really nice work. I love the color pallet and lighting. It's so well balanced and painterly. I'd love to know a bit more about your setup. Again, beautiful work.

thanks so much for the feedback. Eladari - Martin came to us - well not Martin - but the Brooklyn Local Business commission asked Galen's girlfriend to make a video that would honor Martin. Martin just is one of those really warm, wonderful people who opened up right away. Nothing was off limits in what he talked about.

Thanks Crisp - there were actually no lights - the only shots that were lit was the interview and the shots of the pictures in his office. For that I used a Kino 4 ft 4 bank with daylight bulbs - only used two of the bulbs. Nothing else. Just the natural light. Dolly shots were done with the Indie Dolly. Camera was the Sony EX1 with Letus Extreme Adapter with Nikon Manual Lenses. Used a zacuto rod system with a 7in marshall monitor. The majority of the shots were shot on my baby legs to bring out the interesting fluorescent light fixtures. Camera is so good in low light.

Awesome work!

What's the audiosetup?

i had a schoepes cmc5 hypercardoid mic on a stand and also used a lectrosonics ucr 195 with tram lav into a sound devices 302 mixer. There was a sound mix done where he added a little reverb.

Beautiful shots! I've added it to the doc channel.

wonderful piece of work. you should upload HD version.
Martin is an inspiration.

beautiful, shots, pace, editing, photography and of course subject...

Excellent! Loved the shots of the shop itself, so full of feeling and texture. And yes, Martin was a fantastic story teller; very personable and a great voice for story-telling. Great work.

I met Martin one day last year. He measured me up. Talked the whole time. Rolls out these punchy, proverbial commentaries on a range of subjects. He makes you smile. I asked him if I could come hang out with him every now and then in Brooklyn. He said, you come by my shop anytime, young man.

beautiful, such a strong piece. HD please!

What impressed me most is your sense of telling a story. The piece drew me in immediately. It is interesting..the reason I got to this site was for eval of the EX1. I forgot all about the tech and just enjoyed the story. We fail to remember that is the main reason we do what we do.Just shoot. Bravo.

Hi Lefty - watch your spelling :) Guerrilla is a weird word. Email to ed(at)kittyguerrilla.com . Two R's and two L's.

wow, such an amazing film. it has so much depth to it, and it has its own feel. this is amazing.

I really enjoyed this piece. That fellow is so interesting, and was a great choice to serve as your subject. Really nice cinematography too.

Awesome! Martin is a very interesting guy! He seems very genuine. What part of the states is that filmed in?

His factory is in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Right across from Manhattan.

I hope, one day, to be able to do what you are able to do...

well done...

Hey, touches me! Great work!

Brilliant work, thank you very much

awesome job!

This is the second time I have watched this documentary... and, it still was impressive as the first time... very good editing and camera work.

You mind letting us know what Nikon lenses you used? Awesome work!

used the 24mm f2.0, 35mm f2.0, 50mm f1.8, 85mm f1.4, 135mm f2.0

That piece had me wanting more. Great editing and compositions. Man! So inspiring from both Martin and your filming.

Thanks Peterpan! Wow what a nice comment. I think the editor did some color correcting in Final Cut Pro. I like to really nail the color correct though right in camera though because I feel (and I'm not an engineer) that when I am tweaking the settings in camera it's touching it before it becomes 4:0:0 chormo space. I'm about to be 27 years old. Shutter was set to 1/48 and I used the fluorescent matrix to reduce flickering. Thanks I will tell Galen that you liked the editing and directing. A newer piece that I shot about a record collector in Pittsburgh with the world's largest collection of records should be posted pretty soon. Stay tuned.

Beautifully shot with an amazing pace to the film and a wonderful story a pure pleasure to watch! Inspirational work in all aspects. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Check out a similar video I shot about a record collector with the world's largest collection of Vinyl's: vimeo.com/1546186

Ed,
Both videos are great, the one with the records and this one. I'm very impressed by your talent, by the level of perfection you reach in these 2 shorts movies.
Bravo!!

Hi Ed,

You make really good job on your films. you've got an eye :)
Futhermore, i didn't expect that the EX was so good in low light :)

This was a first class documentary. Not only was it shot perfectly but it was also wonderfully engaging, and for me, personally, Martin Greenfield is someone to whom we should all aspire to be, and I have just so much respect for him.

Oh, and I'm with the others: an HD version would be very good to see.

Wow. That was gorgeous. I love the way you shoot and compose your images. I also love how you tell the story. Really beautiful and moving.

This is really such a wonderful film. I have no interest whatsoever in being a tailor but I watched every minute of this film. Lovely colors, nice editing technique and, most importantly, you extracted the very essence of Mr. Greenfield and showed his heart. Not so easy to do but you pulled it off really well.

Nice job.

the photography was fantastic...great flick!

what an amazing film. thank you for sharing. what an inspirational guy.

What a heart warming story. And As Michael just said so amazingly inspiring.

Class A. Good work.

Incredible! The camera work was amazing and the overall use of music, framing, and movement of the camera kept me drawn in on a subject that I wouldn't normally be interested in. Very inspiring!

The colors are just great! Did you use any CC or MB or just the camera color profile? Awesome job!

That is the most beautiful documentary I've ever seen in every aspect there is to it!

Ok that's it I want to become a tailor :)

Awesome work. Love the visuals, sound, mood.... Everything.

Loved it, the visuals and storytelling are amazing. It reminds me of the Showtime series "This American Life". Great work.

We have blogged your work on our blog. We love it!

I watched with the sound off and loved it! Are you still happy with the Indie Dolly?

Great job on the cinematography Ed! You really complimented the story well! You also captured the emotion in the story. This is definitely one I will share with people. Thank you for this great piece of work!

This is great man! Love the record collection piece as well!
