Footage shot with Leica M (240) last year. Re-edited by Dave Brusca May 2014 for "The Leica Experience" Demo/Show

[dnfilms]

While testing the Leica M240 we shot this short based on a monologue I picked up a few years back. Kylie did a great job having only received it the night before.

Much of this is using available light (streetlights, lights from the shops in Union Square).

For the Monologue itself, I lit Kylie with one Dedolight Ledzilla LED light

For this I used royalty free music listed in the credits, but I also shot another version, sans monologue using a Tom Waits song as the narrative. I'll upload that one as well.

Here's another version of the footage I shot of Kylie while testing the Leica M (240). I had had this song in my head all day and it certainly influenced the mood of the shoot so I made this edit "Narrated" by the song. BTW if you don't know much about Tom Waits, make that you next search here, amazing artist.

lit mostly with  streetlights and lights from the shops in Union Square, but we did fill with a Dedolight Ledzilla for some of the shots.

The other version of this footage is on my page and features a monologue "Passenger seat"

This is one of the brief narrative scenes we produced during the video lighting demo I did for Adorama Pro, where we produced 3 variations of a narrative scene using colored filters provided by Formatt Hitech, gels and light shapers provided by Chimera. I'll also upload the BTS and the other 2 scenes (Lovers, Cop) and a more detailed behind the scenes video showing our lighting diagrams etc. If you have any questions on lighting, filters etc please leave a comment below or email me at [email protected]
