Filming Dance Film

It was a surprise to have received Sugini's invitation to film their dance film but I am very happy to help with that. I like their concept and their dancer Grace seems really cool when we met in the pre-light.

In the pre-light I told them how to set up the GH4 and told Sugini more details about using it according to my experience with it in my Maps & Networks.

In the filming days it was quite straight forward, doing what camera operators do and listen to Sugini. I really enjoyed the lighting and the dance. Everything looked nice in the camera. Ethan and I worked closely together. We agreed that I will be working on all the still shots and Ethan on the moving shots. I am not a fan of managing the heavy shoulder rigs.

I loved the jib. This is one of the test. 

The red outline of Grace showed us she's in focus. We asked Grace to stand in frame so that we can focus on her final position.

We spent quite some time in setting up the equipments, especially the jib. It was all worth it.
