As a part of our live workshop on the fundamentals of Cinematography, we produced a short film from scratch. Everything from writing a script to storyboarding to casting and eventually shooting was done in three days of a dark, cold Russian winter. The actual principal photography took just five hours. Our students worked super hard in pre-production and on both sides of the camera on the day of shooting.
For filming, we used the following equipment:
- camera bodies: Leica SL and Leica SL2
- lenses: Leica Vario-Elmarit 24-90/2.8-4 and Leica Summilux R 1.4/50 Cine Mod
- video/sound recorder: Blackmagic Video Assist 4K
- Manfrotto Cine tripod with a fluid head
- two Profoto studio strobes with 300W modeling lights in 150x90cm softboxes, as continuous sources of light
For post-production of the 4K footage and sound mastering:
- Mac Pro 2013
6-core Xeon processor
32 GB RAM
Dual AMD D700 internal graphics
AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64 external card - DaVinci Resolve Studio 16
- Apple Logic Pro X
We want to use this opportunity to cordially thank Leica USA for providing the cameras and lenses free of charge.
