About: This film went from story pitch to premiere in six weeks, including 3 weeks of prep and ten days of post. It was shot in 2.5 days in 4k long-GOP 150 on an engineering sample Panasonic EVA1 camera with unfinished firmware. We shot primarily on Sigma Cine Lenses with pickups on Zeiss Otus, and drone shots on Leicas. Due to time constraints, we shot with all natural light except for one 1x1 LED used in two scenes. The film was temp graded in Da Vinci Resolve in ProRes 422 in 5 hours. No post or in-camera sharpening. 1280p export--higher res coming when I can get the new color and final score placed.
