Myer - “Give Something Special”

A great mix of performance music video and narrative storytelling for this spot for Myer, shot by DOP Michael Lincoln, and supported by an amazingly talented team. Shot using the Alexa35 and our custom TLS rehoused Canon FD-X Super Speed set and 14mm. We even pulled the A&C Power Pod out of retirement (with Barry on set as the special technician) to support the heavy camera package, which included the Skater Scope.

Great job everyone involved!

Feature Friday….Cooke Mini S4i Uncoated!

The Cooke Mini S4/i Primes are the perfect lens to get the classic ‘Cooke Look’ while also being smaller, lighter-weight lenses that offer the same resolution, optical quality and reliability as the S4/i lenses at T2.8. The small size and light-weight style of the Cooke Mini S4i/i make them ideal for use on weight restrictive gimbals and smaller camera packages.

Our Mini S4/i’s have an added extra quality from the uncoated front elements which result in softer contrast, more flaring and an “older/vintage” lens look and feel.

Colour balanced and colour matched with the S4/i, 5/i, Panchro Classic S35 and FF, 18-100mm, and 25-250mm zooms. ‘The Cooke Look’ is known for its character of warmth, object separation, and deliberate soft falloff towards the edges of frame.

Our Cooke Mini S4/i lenses come in 6 focal lengths: 18, 25, 32, 50, 75, 100mm.

Available for rental at The Vision House

Arri Alexa 265!!

We had some fun testing lens coverage on the massive sensor of the Alexa 265. Our TLS rehoused Zeiss Contax and Vega lenses had some great coverage and look options, as well as Atlas Mercury 1.5x anamorphics. So many more options to try out and great looks to achieve.

Everything on the 265 ecosystem feels very familiar if you’ve used an Alexa Mini LF or Alexa35! Great job for their wonderful design and thoughtful blending of their line of cameras!!

Get in contact with us to get the Alexa 265 on your next production.
