I wrote the first script of this short propably 5min after Canon Germany called me to confirm they will send me a pre production unit of the new Canon C300. I wanted to get my hands on it since Nov 3rd and was glad they'd send me the camera.
I called Nino Leitner who was on that "Pre-Pro-User"-List because I wanted to shoot a short with him depending on who gets it first. So we continued our plans to shoot in Vienna, packed the gear, called friends and colleagues, got to Vienna and started shooting from Saturday to Sunday.
After 15-16 hours, we wrapped our shoot and were pretty happy how it turned out, even if it was WAY too short to get everything like we want it to be.
Our main goal was to test the camera in a "real" production environment. I love cameras that don't stand in the way. A camera is great if it doesn't force you to make compromises. If you want to be creative, you don't want to think of camera flaws, quirks or even battery life.
We really enjoyed shooting with it and realized that it's the best camera for our current needs. Again, for us, not for everyone.
this was our schedule:
Wednesday: Canon called
Thursday: Pre-Production (script, actors, locations)
Friday: first test shots and further planning
Saturday / Sunday: shooting
Monday-Wednesday: Post-Production
Enjoy watching it!

**UPDATE: a few people asked if it would look more filmic if I would have done more grading. I did grade it a bit but only some contrast and nothing else. I didn't want it to look oversaturated or with high contrast. Will give it to a colorist for grading and upload 2 different ones, with and without grading.
**UPDATE 2: new grading is up from Micha Schmidt!

can you share any info on lenses used?.
We never used any additional lighting, except for a tiny Litpanel Micro in one or two of the night shots and I think an iPhone up on the mountain in front of the panorama :)
Having had a chance to check the camera out for about an hour, I thought the system as a whole was very familiar. It is a Canon...Right?
This camera is going to be a great transition point for Canon DSLR users.
But also I found that @ ISO 20.000 was a kind of bleeding edge and it's mostly unusable for any sort of serious work.
I mean Vienna panorama from the hill was not like Los Angeles at night (and Vienna obviously missing more city lights). Too much noise that needs effective denoise treatment in post.
One more thing quote:
"A Camera Does Not a Filmmaker Make"!!!
freshdv.com/2011/04/a-camera-does-not-a-filmmaker-make.html
Don't worry too much about a kind of "toasting" critics even mine one at the end. Just go your own way....
nice test, nice to see some narrative going on......my only gripe is when u shoot a story, its a can of worms, u need more story, more story, not enough going on here, but it wasn't really your objective, so bloody well done........
Would you say that statement to someone's face in real life or would you preface it with something polite? The internet is a very rude place.

also my name is KEMALETTIN not kermalettin
''Hi, I thought that the focus pulling wasn't as good as it could have been ''
its ok now? hope everyone is happy
Loved the effects and nice little short.
Impressive results considering the very short time frame!
So are you sold Mario?
P
Sadly (for Canon) the thing I'm digging the most is the music, Cedric did a really good job. It remained me at some point the TRON LEGACY OST by Daft Punk. I guess it's because both are french??
;-)
The narrative loop (returning back to the bus) reminds me of the story "Mobius" from Vincent Laforet, also shot with the C300. Will become a trend in shorts ?... ;-)
Anyway, what's the font used for end credits ?
Thanks.
