42. Gone Missing - Letus Extreme Film
10 months ago
You can watch the actual edited/treated show open on my blog at:
tomguilmette.com/wp/my-blog/archives/1064

I shot high definition visual elements for a new crime TV show called "Personal Justice". In it's first season, the show currently airs on The Learning Channel (TLC, run by Discovery) every Wednesday at 10pm eastern. Check out the show, the editing is excellent and they visually tell interesting, yet terrifying real-life stories.

This video was posted a few weeks ago. This is a sample of what I shot back in December 08.

I used a Sony PMW-EX1 with the Letus Extreme 35mm lens adapter. I also used a Red Rock Micro matte box and follow focus system. I used my dolly with ten feet of track.

The lenses I used were Nikon 55mm f2.8 macro, 50mm f1.4, and a 200mm f3.5 telephoto. I used a Vinten tripod.

I shot 1080p 30p and delivered the footage using a LaCie rugged 120GB usb2 external hard drive.

ONE80 Visual (one80visual.com) textured, layered, graded, treated and added animation to the footage for a very stylized open. They use Apple computers with Final Cut and other programs. You can see the finished 22 second show open by going to my website at tomguilmette.com.

True Entertainment (trueentertainment.net) produces "Personal Justice" for Discover Channel and The Learning Channel.

    Tom this is probably the most cinematic work I've seen from you!

    Your DP work really shines in these clips. It's unique to see actual subjects in your videos--usually you turn very static and minimal scenes into beautiful works. Having directed movement and action happening really shows how much more powerful your work can be. Great job!

    Great job on the shooting, composition. Perfect! But I must agree with Marco. It's too colorful for crime.

    Oops! Never mind. I just noticed that someone else graded and treated the footage. My mistake for reading your description too fast.
