    I think the footage was well taken. Some of the experts on the subject such as Bloom and Dempsey usually push the envelope with the letus adapter a bit further. Color work was crushed into the blacks a little too much I thought.

    Then again I am no expert, thanks for sharing.
  • hello DeCristo... I worked with the letus and with SGPro
    ...the black is very thorough but I think it is a matter of taste... I like this!
    Dempsey and Bloom are 2 masters and I love their work
    thanks.

    pessima la volpe morta....
    gran colori e nitidezza...ma quella volpe proprio no....
  • ciao Xavy...
    in effetti la volpe spezza un po' con tutto il resto.... contribuisce però all'economia del percorso che ho seguito nel documentare la valle dell'Agri.
    Grazie!
  • marzia bono 2 years ago
    a me non dispiace affatto la volpe.... anzi... perchè non mostrarle queste carneficine!
    poi nel contesto in cui è inserita risalta maggiormente!
    Bravo e continua a proporci i tuoi gran lavori!
  • Salvatore Perrone plus 2 years ago
    no vabè non voglio polemizzare...hai fatto delle immaigini che sono arte bro!
    pero' gli animali morti mi fanno un non so che...
  • :) nulla in contrario.... anche per me è lo stesso Xavy.
    una pecorella smarrita in mezzo alla strada.... un cane che abbaia....una volpe morta su una macchina.... un pescatore....
    erano li....e io li ho ripresi :)

  • Jan van der Meer plus 2 years ago
    Hello Leonardo indeed very nice. but what came first, the music or these shots? So did you know the song while filming or found it in post?

  • Nathan Sage 2 years ago
    I think this is my favorite video of yours thus far. Gorgeous colors and compositions. Reminds me of Philip Bloom's work, but by all means you've made it your own.

    Hello Leonardo,

    Really great images, colour and landscapes.
    How did you do for the aspect ratio?
    Do you put black bars up and down of your video in the film editing or something else?
    Thanks.
  • the aspect ratio was created in post with FCP.
    Thanks

    Another masterpiece -- you really are my favourite D.P!

    I just love your choices man -- and where did you find that poor dead fox..? Did you put it on the roof of the car??

    Another fantastic film man -- can't wait for the next :)
  • Thanks robbie..

  • Lisa Kassner pro 2 years ago
    I am impressed by how many folks have watched this video in such a short time... Lovely color/colours...

    Some of the blacks seemed a bit too crushed and as you commented earlier...you made them that way in post.

    The matte board finish at the end made for an interesting motion oil painting type of effect.

    Please keep shooting and producing. I like what I see a lot!

    Kindest and sincerest warm regards,

    Lisa J. Kassner

  • Many thanks for your comment Lisa!

    Beautiful. I like this sort of style to films involving nature. I have tried to accomplish that in my 'Snow' video project.

    Did you use Magic Bullet Looks or anything for colour correction?
  • yes Jonty, MBL....
    thanks :)

  • Ashley Harrison 2 years ago
    I enjoyed this! Just curious, why did you use the two different adapters?
